They didn’t send ICE after violent gangs, human traffickers, or child abductors.
They didn’t touch the powerful names on the Epstein list.
Instead, they came for housekeepers, teachers, journalists — and kids asleep in their beds.

“Don’t be diabetic and eat better, poors.”
Not an exaggeration, that’s literally Bhattacharya’s plan.
When we said the Great Barrington Declaration smacked of eugenics, this is what we meant.

I heard they did it to honor Larson.
There was an entire era when you couldn't attend a scientific conference w/o getting at least a few slides of Far Side cartoons. (Sometimes the best part of a talk!)

The "thagomizer" is the name for the spiked tail of a stegosaurid dinosaur. It didn't have a name until the cartoonist Gary Larson published this comic about it, named it, and the scientific community just accepted it and started using it, too.

the key is: THEY get to decide what counts as ideology. So, anything THEY don't like is illegal.

If someone says “gender ideology” one more time like it means something, I’m going to lose my mind.
Stop pretending like there’s not an entire scientific literature on gender identity and gender dysphoria.
They’re trying to ban the teaching of that scientific literature.

When NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya said “dissent is productive”, I’m pretty sure he meant “MY dissent is productive. It got me to the top of NIH, wheeeee! But YOUR dissent won’t be tolerated”.

So obviously we should deport all those contractors waiting in the Home Depot parking lot looking to help in building those houses.
JD Vance: "One of the biggest challenges that we have in the housing market, aside from too many illegal aliens who are taking the houses of American citizens, is that in the blue states you're not building enough houses."

Not the first time. Statues, history books, museum displays - remove all non-white male achievement.
Meanwhile, replace the statues 'honoring' the traitors of the confederacy who rebelled against the U.S., in order to continue abducting, torturing, and profiting from human beings

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

The sad truth is, for my long life there never was a liberal media. Lib reporters, sure - but they had to bend over backwards to appease the rich conservative owners/editors. And owner-friendly editors pushed the agenda in a decidedly non-progressive way.

30 million is nowhere near right. And how are they "taking houses?" You mean hard-working immigrants are paying rent or mortgages, depriving somebody (euro-whites) of the homes that would just otherwise just go to them for cheap?
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

Even more so: Blowing so much money on corporate and financier tax breaks, while stifling minimum wage to below poverty levels
Marco Rubio says U.S. visas can be denied for obesity, diabetes, cancer, and even retirement age because those people might “drain taxpayer resources. Amazing how that concern disappears when they’re blowing millions on luxury travel, parties, and renovations.
