The United States has only had full suffrage since 1965. After a recent Supreme Court decision effectively disenfranchised millions of Black voters across the American South, the country can no longer pretend it’s a democracy.

I know this won’t happen, but the entire WH press corps should walk out. Trump craves attention and is obsessed with his coverage. Not covering his Oval Office Lie Sessions would hurt him more than just about anything.

This is basically how Trump wants to run the elections in the US — under the watchful eyes of armed guards.

The illegal boat strikes began exactly one year ago today. The boat strikes weren’t really about stopping drugs. They were about testing for compliance to see who would obey illegal orders & purge objectors. Trump was normalizing his ability to smite anyone—like the angry God of the Old Testament.🧵
This was not in self defense and drug smuggling is not a capital offense. These are extrajudicial killings — mass murder on the high seas illegally ordered by the President of the United States. US service personnel do not get to play judge, jury, and executioner.

Now let’s talk about how this bacteria possibly adulterated (tainted) the soap. When producing things for ppl there is a hierarchy of monitoring and cleanliness. The top being pharma, then food, then cosmetics/ heath products and finally supplements. Note how supplements are the least regulated!

A med student asked me today:
"Why does cold mucus turn yellow or green? Does that mean I need antibiotics?"
Millions of people panic when they see green. They think it’s a bacterial takeover.
But the biology is actually fascinating and way less scary.
Let me explain.🧵

This is APPALLING. The Trump administration is detaining multiple random Somali immigrants with no criminal record at Guantanamo Bay, seemingly because the White House ordered ICE specifically to detain Somalis at Gitmo as part of its effort to punish an ethnic group Trump has attacked.

If Trump finds out this info was gathered from US Space Force data, he's going to hate them.
And that is exactly how reporters should address it to him: "According to data from the US Space Force...."
His head will explode.
