Before she realized she could make more money as an antivaxxer, Hoeg was grifting pseudoscientific, cash-only scams like “platelet rich plasma injections” and “bone marrow concentrate injections” (she takes your blood or marrow and injects it into your joints), which evidence clearly says don’t work

Foreign fentanyl is almost exclusively brought across the border by American citizens for consumption by American citizens. (Much is also made domestically by Americans.) Saying that Mexico is to blame is incorrect, and this bizarre comparison seems like barely concealed bigotry.

What is this bizarro reality? Everyone has their own take on this, but if Trump actually gets a ceasefire, it would basically show how easy it is for any US president to get Israel to stand down. It would also prove that the genocide has only continued because Biden wanted it to.

if your congressional rep is a democrat, try the script below. it’s timed to 45 seconds with bail out points. you’ll get an intern. be polite. by all means, rewrite or improvise! what democrats need to know to fight this fight is that it won't hurt them to stand with trans people. and it won't.🧵
Hi, I'm [your name] one of ____________'s constituents. I need
___________________ to commit to voting no on HB 28-the sports ban on transgender athletes. It's the Republicans' first step to federal legislation declaring trans women are men, which would be a civil rights disaster.
That's not speculation. They've been open about their plans.

[you can stop here at 0:20 if you want to bail out] 

Democrats need to fight back immediately by protecting the vulnerable groups Republicans are going after. There's no amount of ground they can give up on trans rights to make Republicans stop attacking. 

Not standing up for trans people hasn't helped Democrats win
elections. Ask Sherrod Brown, Colin Allred, or Kamala Harris.

[you can stop here at 0:40 if you want to bail out]

Please tell ____________________ to vote No on HB 28. If not for trans people, then because voters show up to support Democrats
who stand for something. Thank you.

The solution to the crisis of homelessness is simple: provide housing. That’s because the number one cause of homelessness is insufficient income and lack of affordable housing — not substance abuse or mental illness, as popularly believed.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

Covid depletes cells that are key to the immune system and getting covid regularly means you'll be sick more often and this will not strengthen your immune system it will progressively weaken it and you'll end up dying younger. You were lied to because you had to get back to work

I think Biden is trying to escalate the war to the point where Trump can’t easily force a ceasefire, which would mean NATO involvement. NATO is gambling that a direct war with conventional or tactical nuclear weapons would precede the actual end of the world and that that’s the winnable one. Insane.

Nancy Pelosi is accusing pro-ceasefire Americans of being Russian assets, a position 80% of her party embraces. Meanwhile the U.S. is defunding aid to starving Palestinians on information obtained through torture by a genocidal apartheid state. No one is buying any of it.

Kindly grow up if you think the speaker of the house suggesting the FBI can visit you for going to an action to state that it's wrong to commit genocide against an ethnic group isn't fascism. Literally I have nothing to say if you still think fascism isn't here.

The word “genocide” doesn’t appear until the **15th paragraph** of this AP article, and nowhere is it mentioned that the court found South Africa’s accusations of genocide to be plausibly true. I know you’ll all be really shocked by this.
Netanyahu is defiant after UN court ruling as deaths in Gaza offensive continue
BY NAJIB JOBAIN AND WAFAA SHURAFA
27 mins ago
RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday pushed back after the International Court of Justice ruling to limit death and destruction in the military's Gaza offensive, declaring that "we decide and act according to what is required for our security." Among the first deaths reported since the ruling, witnesses said three Palestinians were killed in an airstrike that Israel said targeted a Hamas commander.The case brought by South Africa to the U.N. court alleged Israel is committing genocide against Gaza’s people, which Israel vehemently denies. A final ruling is expected to take years.
