Speaking as some1 who was given a bioengineered HTLV-II retro- & herpes virus that was made 2 b both small enough 2 infect my brain & also 2 luminesce, & then developed non-HIV/AIDS, & then was given a vaccine after 5 years of antiviral treatment successfully reversed the AIDS, rendering it moot, 🤷.

It’s amazing that Antifa was able to hire this many protesters. Their back-office payroll processing and HR pipeline is just first-class; just imagine the tax paperwork to hire up across all 50 states, not to mention all the rounds of Zoom interviews for prospective protesters….

It can and should, according to our fellow antifascists in France and Italy. And I agree. We need a #generalstrike & to shut down the country down until Mike Johnson brings Congress back & stops his bullshit about cutting health care & the social safety net. AND until he swears in Rep. Grijalva!

You mean, Vought. He was the one directing DOGE on where to go and what to steal, according to whistleblowers, right? He should be arrested and tried as the traitor he is

No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity.

But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.

A little boy holds a handmade sign with hearts glued to it. It reads, “leave my friends ALONE Donald Trump”. He’s bravely protesting at the No Kings Evanston protest.

A 15 year old autistic child named Emmanuel Garcia went missing Oct 4th. Houston PD found him & gave him to ICE despite his Mom having filed a missing person’s report.

He’s now in an immigration facility for unaccompanied minors.

His Mom is pleading for his return:

Capital of deep red South Carolina. Mike Johnson and his party say these folks are Marxists, Hamas supporters and people who hate America.

I call BS.

Funny, how the "No Kings" protesters were "elderly white hippies" in August (per Stephen Miller), but are "pro-Hamas terrorists and violent criminals" in October (per Karoline Leavitt).

It's *almost* as if this regime makes its shameless lies up as it goes along . . .

How old r you? Gore DID win. But, as Senate President, he wouldn't stand with the Black caucus & vote 4 their resolution 2 stop W.'s bullshit interference in the FL recount, which, when completed years later, showed he'd won. So not the leader he should have been. And I bet he regrets it everyday.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to both avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

One of the less understood beauties of a transition to a renewable economy is: you cannot invade a country and steal its sunshine and its wind, and you will not need to. The uneven distribution of fossil fuel, esp. oil, has corroded geopolitics for more than a century....

Nobel Peace Prize recipient María Corina Machado appeared on Donald Trump Jr.’s podcast.

She touted the oil reserves in Venezuela (the largest in the world) and vowed to privatize the oil industry to enable American corporations to exploit and profit from the country’s resources if she gains power.
