This was my first pinned post here and one of the first posts I was kind of happy about. Right when I started actually using this place.
It is that the power exists at all, to speak on behalf of a god that does not exist. To impose a mythology on a Human Being without consent, teaching them that this mythology is reality.

That's what I am angry about.

The existence of this power is in itself an abuse.

It’s worth reading this article in full because it points out how while Epstein had a lot of friends, Thiel was one of the few he actually invested with.

Friendly neighborhood ex-Navy JAG with a fun question for you:

In the movie “A few Good Men,” was the Code Red ordered by Col. Jessup a lawful order?

The senators are angered by Schumer & Gillibrand's lack of endorsement of Zohran Mamdani, and their handling of open seat Senate races.

They believe leadership is quietly pushing donors toward specific candidates: Angie Craig in Minnesota, Haley Stevens in Michigan, and Janet Mills in Maine.
Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."

They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

The mutinous mood of the senators — who include Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, Tina Smith of Minnesota, Christopher S. Murphy of Connecticut, Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts — reflects the widespread doubts among the Democratic base that party leaders in Congress have…

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.

If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

“Capitalism is not working for young people and I know young people, because I routinely inject myself with their blood.”
Bari Weiss’s The Free Press (now part of corporate media) is pushing this Ad on Musk’s X. It portrays Peter Thiel as some sort of savant.

This is the same guy, you know, who has been giving lectures about the AntiChrist.

The “Free” Press is more like The Billionaire Press.

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve been endorsed by Sunrise Movement! @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social

A Green New Deal and aggressive climate action are essential for our future — I promise to fight for both when I’m in Congress and also on the campaign trail.

Just Trump stumbling along with a pigeon-toed gait.

Common in elderly patients with neurological conditions, and post-stroke patients.

Totally nothing to see here I’m sure! 🙄

The House passed a resolution condemning socialism. Okay.

When are they going to pass a resolution condemning fascism?

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

Next week, we can make the midterms even scarier for Republicans by flipping a deep-red district that Trump won by double digits. Please make some calls to help us elect @aftynbehn.bsky.social (a state representative, social worker, and former Indivisible organizer): www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Maybe putting a dozen narcissistic poser Fox hosts in charge of sprawling federal agencies with millions of combined employees and vastly important responsibilities with enormous power wasn’t the greatest plan.

Not a nurse, but I know that there is no healthcare without qualified, dedicated, nurses, and they are professionals.
This change in the Department of Education will have long lasting, serious, consequences for health care in the US.

Far too many of our nurses have similar stories, where they’ve faced violence on the job just for trying to care for their patients. No one should fear for their safety at work. We must fight for safe workplaces free from violence. @OhioStateRN @AFTHealthcare #CodeRed www.10tv.com/article/news...

Trump is raging about the military being reminded of their duty to refuse illegal orders because he has ALREADY been issuing illegal orders, and unfortunately, too many service members have been breaking their oaths to the constitution, obeying the orders, and exposing themselves to a world of hurt.
