A paramilitary group plotted to overthrow the Constitution then conducted a violent attack on America. They were convicted in court of seditious conspiracy, and jailed. Then the leader they aimed to illegally install got power and let them out, their records wiped clean. The Jan. 6 attackers won.
Judge Pained as He Grants Dismissal of Jan. 6 Charges Against Oath Keepers
The judge, Amit P. Mehta, blasted the administration’s request for a dismissal in the case, saying it bestowed “unearned grace” on the Oath Keepers defendants “by wiping their records clean.”

Good resources on COVID origins from an actual expert 👇
This is very good advice from Dr Marino. And if you want to read other papers giving evidence pointing to zoonotic origin, do also read these: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... The evidence gets stronger over time.
Millions of people in the U.S. are also living with long Covid, a chronic condition with wide-ranging symptoms – including fatigue, difficulty breathing, neurological and digestive issues – that can persist months or years after a Covid-19 infection. www.cnn.com/2026/08/04/h...

On July 1, 2025, RFK Jr's Dept of Health announced that the CDC's Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (FoodNet), would stop surveilling illnesses caused by Campylobacter, Cyclospora, Listeria, Shigella, Vibrio, and Yersinia as part of an effort to reduce federal funding. 13 months later:
Please stop saying “lockdowns.” There were never true lockdowns in the US, and it fuels far right narratives to repeat this inaccurate statement. You can say closures, you can say restrictions, or better, you can say public health measures which saved many lives.
People still complain about “lockdowns” but we had none in the US. We had stay-at-home orders, where although businesses were closed, you could still go outside whenever you wanted. Other countries had far stricter rules, and yet have been much more accepting of them as they saved many more lives.
Anyone who has worked in healthcare will never forget the horrors we have experienced through the pandemic. No amount of lying or gaslighting can ever erase that.
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.
Pediatrician Here 👋🏻 When people scream “medical freedom” they forget that their autonomy ends when injustice begins.
I am sicken that so many people in this country voted for this dark, vile, abusive, violent, barbaric, soulless, criminal, and traitorous regime.
Appalling cruelty — and all to fund more tax cuts for the rich.
All. Of. This! 👇
"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."
The fastest-growing Ebola outbreak in history has killed more than 1,500 people in eastern Congo, according to official data released Thursday, a 50% spike in around a week that shows the outbreak continues to outpace response efforts.

Sept 2014, the president of MSF called upon US in European military to get involved in the response; there were around 6000 cases of Ebola known to have occurred by then in the West African outbreak. At this pace, we are likely to be close to that same benchmark. We are woefully prepared to respond.
