Going into winter I'd like to take a moment to share my masking precautions for covid/illness prevention.😄

1. Time, Distance, Shielding

Minimize exposure wherever practical. Follow the ALARA principle: As Low As Reasonably Achievable. This is the key principle of radiation safety as well.
nah, it just speaks to how easily people get locked up in this country. being poor can get you arrested, mouthing off at a cop, mouthing off at school, having melanin, etc etc etc.

We imprison millions of people at all times, ofc tons of ppl have records. It's mostly for stupid stuff, tho.
I keep thinking about the fact that "nearly one-third of the adult working age population [in the US] has a criminal record."

With numbers like that, this isn't a problem of individuals. This comes down to what our society calls "crime."

With as many criminal convictions as college degrees, it's more evident than ever why "ban the box" laws are important for the economy.

The two National Guard members gave their lives defending others less than a day after taking their oath of service.

But they were only there because Trump ignored a court order to remove troops from D.C.

They were shot by a man Trump granted asylum too, as well. A good leader would...
It is tragic that this person was put in a position where she lost her life for no reason other than to serve the vanity of a man determined to establish dominance over a city that hates him

So Trump just pardoned the former prez of Honduras, who:

-took a $1M bribe from El Chapo:
-was aided his in clemency campaign by Roger Stone
-ran for reelection despite a law against it, thus setting off political violence that killed dozens.

In Trump's mind, any leader can do whatever they want and get a free pass.

That includes them selling heroin to America's children.🙃
trump will pardon or assist any head of state who has been convicted for crimes. acting out of self preservation, basically
WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

As Donald Trump sat down for Thanksgiving dinner at Mar-a-Lago, he had few reasons to give thanks. After a year of dismantling federal agencies, deploying troops to Democratic-led cities, violating immigrants’ rights, and trying to rig the 2026 elections, momentum is no longer on his side.

AMERICANS DO NOT WANT TO ETHNICALLY CLEANSE THE NONWHITE POPULATION. Only a tiny cabal of dedicated white supremacists led by Stephen Miller wants that.

But Americans are being lied to by their cowed, billionaire-controlled media about what their government wants.
America’s civic institutions have to address the full monstrosity of this. So too do democratic governments elsewhere in the world. It’s not happening. It’s being allowed to pass - so as not to rock the boat. Rock the boat, guys, rock it hard, rock it now.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.
