I love looking at this graph, showing it to my students, and sharing it on social media, even though it unerringly brings out the trolls. This is the efficacy curve of Pfizer's mRNA COVID vaccine. This, people, is what ended the emergency phase of the COVID pandemic. Despite what RFK Jr says.
He swaps the VP for one of his offsprings
“sentence” is a bit of a stretch but ditto
I can’t believe we’re asking him to speak for once 😳
Break the damn silence. There is something CLEARLY wrong with Donald Trump. Hints came with JD Vance on Thursday with his "tragedies happen" interview. Then the proof-of-life photos with Trump looking dazed and slack jawed. Did he have a stroke? www.youtube.com/live/vDqh8k3...
Incapable of putting together some sounds that is, it’s not expected to make sense 😏

💯 accurate
🧵 In the wake of numerous reports of interactions with AI chatbots that resulted in deadly consequences, the Center for Democracy & Technology's Dr. Michal Luria says AI firms should stop designing products that pretend to be human.

It doesn’t fully look like him. Plus, if he’d a stroke, he would still be at the hospital. IDK

More than 1.2 million immigrants disappeared from the labor force from January through the end of July, according to preliminary Census Bureau data analyzed by the Pew Research Center.

This Labor Day, never forget: the sitting President said we have "too many non-working holidays." Happy Labor Day, workers.✊
Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War shows (once again) that his self-characterization as the “pro-peace” candidate was complete bullshit. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Where? Down in hell?
I wonder if the guy on the picture was even him, though he looked lost and ill so maybe it’s him 🤷♀️
Gosh, if it’s him, looks awful! (more than usual) Disoriented and weak.

PS here in 🇨🇦 we depend (depended?) on CDC and NIH research. We’re appalled at the destruction and suffering but also at what’s being cancelled and the “burning” of all previous and truly remarkable research.
I’ve wondered why the msm quashed reports of stroke symptoms last year, eg., when he could hardly walk. I’m sure he’s received ghoulish care (💯!) for his short appearances only and can’t govern -due to ill health… & will. Note he hardly travels -except to his properties, where he has enough privacy.
Only one non-peer reviewed study?? From an organization with ties to Leo??… sure it’d be scientifically sound. Next, they’ll cite Q as experts 😒
Wow! Can't let RFK jr bring it back to 1920 levels!
Of course they (RFK Jr, 47, etc.) are above it. Not because they’re strong or healthy, but because they’ve access to cutting-edge medicine… from experts. Like when 45 had covid or when 47 is being kept (half-) functioning these days.
That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.
So… listen to the uneducated? the dumb? the high?… a dead worm? 😒
It happened. He’s gone mad, Nero-level mad 😖

That picture is the epitome of “ill health”, one can see the inflammation within the cells right on his face 😒
A specialist said to check how many days he doesn’t golf as a sign of his health getting worse. I suspect this outing was for performance since he looks very sick. Recall last year he was dragging his foot and other symptoms from a stroke. He’s them again.
It was going for the cozy nest on his head (what an awful toupee)

"Upgrade?" The Felon Administration is putting pressure on the Holocaust Museum to 'upgrade' the US response to Nazi Germany during WW2. They will whitewash the awful part of history when America turned away fleeing Jews. Many had to return, resulting in death.😢✡️ abcnews.go.com/US/upcoming-...

Technically, it should but she comes across as entitled and phony. Both rely on scripts too much, way too the fake.

He still refuses to pay his contractors, even if it’s not his $$$ 🙄 Is he looking for a bribe? And that “Rose garden” that he tore down twice, it’s only a cheap-looking patio.
It is natural to get caught in the catharsis of imagining Trump being gone, but we can’t let it rock us into complacency. This fascistic moment was built on people wanting to believe an investigation or scandal or election would rid us of Trump, which cost us valuable time organizing resistance.

Bill Pulte has emerged as a key enabler of President Trump's extraordinary attacks on Lisa Cook, the Federal Reserve governor, over unverified allegations of mortgage fraud. Pulte’s attacks on Cook invite scrutiny of his own past dealings.

Too bad people/media didn’t 10 years ago. It’s been well known for decades… it should hVe been a nonstarter.
It does, and I cannot stress enough, the bar is low.
Trump's days are numbered. Maybe not in the way alot of folks on the Internet are suggesting but in ways we need to think about. There are some dark lessons of history that suggest we're in for trouble if we don't. www.thedailybeast.com/its-tasteles...

I'm hearing from a lot of people who are feeling hopeless and despondent about the state of America and the world. This piece I wrote back in December is evergreen, and is perhaps more important now than ever. "What to Do When There is Nothing to Be Done" america2.news/what-to-do-w...

“Do not offer thoughts and prayers as you systemically enable such tragedies. Do not claim prayers are sufficient when children die as they pray. Do not pretend you do not understand.” — Lydia, 16, Minneapolis
Gavin Newsom described an earlier Trump meeting as “a hell of a 90 minutes,” that made clear that Trump intended to serve a third term in the White House come 2028. When the crowd started laughing, he urged them to “wake up” to a serious threat to our democracy. www.rawstory.com/trump-2028-2...
🧵 As of July 1, the CDC gutted its FoodNet program, slashing surveillance from 8 major foodborne pathogens down to just 2: salmonella a& E. coli. No more federal tracking for campylobacter, cyclospora, listeria, shigella, vibrio, or yersinia.
Would 30 plus years as a counter example do?

But then, they wouldn’t be cruel 🤷♀️
“It’s ironic … that they’re so against trans-ness and gender-affirming care for trans people,” the dermatologist said of Trump’s inner orbit. “Because, you know, they’re all doing their own gender-affirming care.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Can’t wait for my electrician - who is great, by the way - to serve in his next role as an immigration judge.
Isn’t it an amazing coincidence that all 3, all at once, are being accused of mortgage fraud? Like, they went to the same party. Never mind, the one who was convicted of real estate fraud and has a long trail of cheating is making the accusations and got to be prez. Wow 🤷♀️
🇲🇽🏥 “Healthcare is not a business. This year we delivered 31 hospitals, 12 health centers and we are equipping 256 operating rooms. And we begin construction of 20 hospitals… we are delivering healthcare to every elderly and disabled person’s home”. - President Sheinbaum of Mexico

"The sad part is there are so many daily tragedies in this current administration, there is no room for today's tragic school shooting to stay in the news." - some dude on MSNBC just now.
It’s been over 30 years of thoughts and prayers. I’m going out on a limb in here but maybe… that doesn’t work? Maybe get the hint that God’s not responding. Why would he? We’re on our own.
That’s beyond creepy! Be careful out there.
Clearly those prayers aren’t working
Don't get it twisted. Trump is having the National Guard pick up trash to debase them. He hates the military. He is incapable of understanding anyone who would make sacrifices for the greater good. He thinks they are suckers and losers, and he's treating them as such.
So, slavery? The (lame and delusional) court’s “philosopher” is now revamping an archaic brutal system as a new way of life? 😒 His statements are substandard and all is, in one word, nonsense.
In less than a week, Gov. Greg Abbott and GOP lawmakers will make it even harder in Texas to prevent school shootings, suicides, and murders by domestic abusers.

As Republicans inevitably blame mental health and not the guns for yet another school shooting - kindly remind them that 205 of them voted AGAINST a bill to expand school-based mental health services.
No amount of appearing reasonable and trying to avoid provoking them will stop them from escalating against you. The only thing you'll do is inspire revulsion in everyone else: if you won't even stand up for yourself how can you stand up for anyone else

Undermining the Fed to get lower rates now is like ripping the batteries out of your smoke alarm because it’s beeping. It’s quiet for a bit. Then your house burns down. Credibility anchors expectations; expectations anchor inflation.
Funny line there at the end, from some years ago “we won’t let increase taxes for the working class or seniors”, sure, we just make them work 2 jobs and will shrink the senior population by increasing the retirement age… 😏
The suit also contains a jarring account of Adam Raine's interactions with GPT-4o over a period of months before his death, including a quantification of problematic terms and exchanges.

This is appalling. Chatbots may help in ordinary situations but they’re doing an incredible amount of harm to society. Vulnerable populations fall for “know-it-all” chatbots but how on earth a computer program would have the expertise of years-long trained counsellors? Flags were there for months.

"Democracy May Not Exist, But We'll Miss It When It's Gone" (credit Astra Taylor) is a line I keep thinking of.
