Every American needs to watch this:
Forget pickles and ice cream. I published a fake paper on pregnancy cravings for prime numbers.
A nurse. A researcher. A helper.
The US is being terrorized by a domestic terror organization called ICE.
They are going door-to-door. They are stealing and kidnapping people. They have killed over 30 people so far.
We are being terrorized by the US government and what you have to do first is acknowledge it.
Meanwhile on Twitter.
This IS the result of the Supreme Court of the United States of America giving the most amoral person in America immunity from his crimes.
Crimes that stack up daily.
Including 115 counts of 1st-degree murder of unarmed civilians suspected of crimes not punishable by the death penalty.
@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”
Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911
"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

Leavitt: At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.

Uhhh, folks? This is real bad.

🧵The “about CDC” webpage got a makeover with a long list of CDC “priorities” added. It's worth a read esp if you receive any grant funding from CDC.
TL;DR: CDC will de prioritize grant funding for anything the admin disagrees with regardless of data or public need

It's weird how Tylenol caused autism (first diagnosed in 1943) before it was even invented (1955). What a clever drug.
The ACIP vote was tied 6-6 for requiring everyone to get a prescription for the COVID19 vaccine.
The chair broke the tie by voting NO.
Prescriptions will NOT be required.
BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.
Reporter: Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags for Melissa Hortman who was killed as well?
Trump: Uh, I’m not familiar, who?
We’re joining organizations nationwide during Medical Research Week to highlight the vital role of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in advancing life-saving research and the urgent need for robust funding. 🔬🗓️

“We need to get up from under our desks and persuade our fellow citizens that the institutions that they have helped create with their tax dollars are incredibly precious and important.”
Yes! #ScienceMatters!

Hit up Dr. Mariana Rückert @mruckert.bsky.social for a former Sao Paulo resident Chiefs fan - Would love to hear her thoughts on Chiefs in Brazil! She's also a pancreas expert, JBB 🍤 (shrimp is the closest we have to panc emoji)
RFK Jr: It's gonna be the biggest infusion of federal dollar into rural healthcare in American history
BERNIE SANDERS: Yeah. You know why? Because you're cutting $150b for rural hospitals, you're putting $50b back. That's not an infusion. That's a loss of $100b.
WARNER: Do you accept the fact that 1 million Americans died from covid?
RFK Jr: I don't know how many died
W: You're the secretary of health and human services. You don't have any idea how many Americans died from covid?
RFK Jr: I don't think anybody knows that
W: How can you be that ignorant?
Massive walkout underway at CDC.
RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
