In the continuing story of HHS Secretary RFK Jr.'s efforts to eliminate vaccines, we look at one of his useful idiots, CBER Director Dr. Vinay Prasad, and his email laying out how FDA will weaponize dead children to justify making vaccines harder to approve. sciencebasedmedicine.org/rfk-jr-is-de...

How ICE’s mostly unseen campaign in Syracuse breeds fear and resistance
Federal agents run up the number of deportations by grabbing immigrants who are neither hidden nor guilty of serious crimes.

There are former federal career employees who were both fired and forced to write personal checks to reimburse the government for unauthorized work contractors did at their direction.
Just saying.

Diana's affirmative treatment of people with AIDS is the only reason I paid any positive attention to "British royals" in the 1990s. She was good people.
Princess Diana shakes hands with an AIDS patient without gloves. This was a profound gesture at the time, 1991, and changed attitudes around the world towards people living with HIV/AIDS. #worldaidsday2025

My best friend in college got engaged to a grad student. But 3 yrs later, her fiancee suddenly broke it off. His last words to her as he hung up the phone were: "Get tested."
She lived HIV+ for 8 yrs. She had serious relationships with other men who loved her. I wish them well. 1/2

Things will get real interesting if [probably when] we learn Trump's staffers have been secretly recording him agreeing to, and praising them for, doing illegal sh*t.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.
