9/ What can you do? ✅ Share evidence-based content ✅ Push back—respectfully—when you see lies ✅ Amplify real experts ✅ Don’t give up on people. Some do come around. And above all—don’t look away.

9/ What can you do? ✅ Share evidence-based content ✅ Push back—respectfully—when you see lies ✅ Amplify real experts ✅ Don’t give up on people. Some do come around. And above all—don’t look away.
6/ And the consequences? They’re not theoretical. We’ve watched public trust collapse. Measles outbreaks. Polio in wastewater. Cancer patients skipping boosters. Kids left unprotected.
5/ I’ve seen experts do interviews, testify before Congress, write articles—only to be drowned out by someone with a ring light and a grudge. I’ve seen the algorithm reward outrage. And the more absurd the lie, the faster it spreads.
4/ I’ve watched people I knew die preventable deaths. People who believed the lies. I’ve argued with strangers at 3am trying to explain how vaccines work. I’ve defended scientists who never asked to be in the spotlight—just for doing their jobs.
2/It doesn’t come all at once. It arrives in waves. •First, it was anti-vaccine rhetoric •Then came germ theory denial •Miracle cures followed (Ivermectin, HCQ, methylene blue) •Now it’s VAERS abuse, spike protein panic, and “shedding” Each wave overlaps the last.
8/ The weight of evidence is clear: vaccines saved lives. Lancet Infect Dis 2022: ~20 million deaths prevented in 2021 alone. DOI: www.thelancet.com/callback?red...
4/ Claim: DMED shows massive injury spikes. Fact: The Department of Defense confirmed that the apparent spike was due to data underreporting in previous years, not actual increases. Once corrected, the anomaly disappeared. Ref: www.reuters.com/article/fact...
3/ Claim: “Vaccines are gain-of-function.” ❌ Fact: GOF refers to experiments that increase a pathogen’s transmissibility/virulence. Vaccines encode spike to elicit immunity—not GOF. NIH OSP: osp.od.nih.gov/policies/nat... Alt) HHS P3CO: aspr.hhs.gov/S3/Pages/Enh...
1/ Children’s Health Defense claims a new “study” proves COVID vaccines caused global harm. Let’s examine the evidence—and the many problems. 🧵

The oldest fossil evidence shows that humans originated in Africa about 200,000 years ago and would have had dark pigmented skin to protect them from intense UV rays. So if you're a believer in "God," and believe man was created in his image... then it stands to reason that God is a Black man.
Many survivors, now brave adult women, have come forward and members of Congress need to remember what they looked like as children when they were raped & trafficked to powerful men by predators Jeffrey #Epstein & Ghislaine #Maxwell. Read their powerful statements. #LetSurvivorsTestify #September3
Hey Sen. James Lankford, stop your Orwellian doublespeak. We're not "jumping to conclusions" – RFKjr is a dark tetrad. He knows nothing about human healthcare. He's systematically trying to cull the American public. Remove him from office. Immediately.

Astronomers have spotted the brightest fast radio burst yet coming from a nearby galaxy. Observations of this phenomenon, a powerful flash of radio waves that lasts only about a millisecond, could shed light on one of the most mysterious cosmic phenomena ever studied: https://cnn.it/4g25jKP
Vaccines, food safety, public health... elizabethglassturner.substack.com/p/wrecking-b...
If the pandemic did one thing for me, it was to greatly increase my appreciation for the medical miracle that is vaccination. My understanding of them went from, “These are good,” to, “THESE ARE AMAZING!”
Vaccines are an example of where the default tendency to think there are two sides to any issue can be incredibly toxic and exploited by bad faith actors.
RFK Jr: "We're finding certain interventions now that are almost certainly causing autism. We are gonna be able to address those in September."
When you have a dictator calling autistic people a "horror show" and his Minister of Eugenics says "we're going to solve that", we all know what they mean, right?
You’re not dropping a single, asshole. If you’re actually knew anything, it would be criminal not to reveal it now. But of course, this is a bullshit publicity stunt.
I don’t think non physicians realize how for real physicians, vaccines is a controversy like flat earth or creationism or birds aren’t real "No true Scotsman" actually holds here it's hard to really describe how baffling this is, how frustrating its been to see grow and how high the price will be
it’s hard to overstate: -how beneficial vaccines are -how massively overwhelming the evidence is showing no link between vaccines and autism -how impossible it is that RFK will somehow “find the cause” (at all, let alone in his first year) -how much RFKjr want to get rid of childhood vaccines
Link to the video: x.com/patriottakes...
RFK Jr: “If you’ve ever compared an unvaccinated kid to a vaccinated kid… you see the bright eyes, the engagement, the social interactions, the curiosity. And you compare them to the child who even had one or two vaccines, and they’re completely different.“ This man is an existential threat.

"Judge Jia M. Cobb of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia wrote that the Trump administration had acted recklessly in a frenzied effort to quickly remove as many people as possible, likely violating due process rights and risking wrongful detentions."

Credit also goes to the army of assorted social media trolls and dipshit know-nothings who helped propagate nonsense and lies.
An upcoming news conference with victims of Jeffrey Epstein could be “explosive,” one of the congressmen pushing for full release of the files on Epstein predicts. Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna said the victims’ accounts will force lawmakers to vote on a bill requiring DOJ to release its files.
He isn't the "DSA Candidate". He's the winner of the Democratic Primary. Maybe New York is different, but in the Midwest, being an "Establishment Democrat" means supporting the person who won the primary until there is another primary.
Keeping people off the streets during the mid-term elections and stationing them near polling stations.
China isn’t the reason to build solar—it’s the reason we can’t afford to wait. While US nuclear flatlines, China’s solar has already rocketed past it. The lesson isn’t to copy them—it’s that the transition is happening at breakneck speed. Delay now means falling behind forever. ⚡☀️ #EnergyTransition
...people, you did it, not owning up to it and blaming those who begged you, did everything they possibly could to get your vote, you chose the fool rapist serial criminal. 👀 We don't deserve the good Biden and this D leadership has done for (US). It is SHAMEFUL.
Jamie Harrison’s head-in-the-sand posts are actually part of the problem. Enthusiasm for the Democratic Party is depressed.
Did you watch it? It is a very specific critique of Schumer, Jeffries and Democratic Party Leadership. Not of people doing the real work of upholding democracy as you are.

Fox and the rest of the right wing propaganda machine put effort into sowing distrust during Covid, and mainstream companies either played along or pretended it wasn't happening. I left a rather nice corp gig rather than work on a "news" aggregator that featured Fox health and CRT propaganda.
"What eroded trust was the COVID vaccine" No, it was the fucking dipshits like RFK Jr, Jay Bhattacharya, Marty Makary and Vinay Prasad who spread misinformation and contrarianism as a profiteering industry.
And they deny the existence of the pee tape.
Do It
Norm Ornstein (paraphrased)..... Dems in Congress should form the equivalent of a shadow government. Hold a press conference every day to tackle trump's latest atrocity. Then make sure every Member pounds on that message relentlessly. And start impeaching people like Kennedy Jr, Noem and Hegseth
I'm just gonna leave this here. Says it all
Meanwhile, air pollution from fossil fuels kills 91,000 Americans every year - 1.3 Nagasaki nukes dropped on Americans each year. And the most corrupt government this country has ever seen is doing everything in its power to further enrich the fossil-fuel billionaires responsible.

6/7 Putinism is the blueprint. Trumpism is the knockoff. Surkov wrote the script. America just adapted it for Fox News. And unless we recognize the playbook, we’ll keep falling for the show
5/7 Both systems weaponize distrust. They flood the zone with noise, erode faith in institutions, and make truth feel irrelevant. The goal isn’t persuasion—it’s confusion, division, and control
4/7 Trumpism echoes this. From “crisis actors” to “deep state” conspiracies, it thrives on unreality. Even the deployment of the National Guard in Democrat-led cities was framed as theater—“law and order” optics for the base
2/7 Vladislav Surkov, Putin’s “grey cardinal,” pioneered the fusion of propaganda, theater, and post-truth politics. He helped stage separatism in Ukraine—using paid actors, fake protests, and media manipulation to turn fiction into fact
