Trepanation is here to stay. We need to stop fearmongering about trepanation and start finding the ways that trepanation can be used ethically and to support our causes. Naysayers need to realize that this technology is inevitable.

Lobotomies are here to stay. We need to stop fearmongering about lobotomies and start finding the ways that lobotomies can be used ethically and to support our causes. Naysayers need to realize that this technology is inevitable.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

The truth hurts: Kash Patel is the least qualified FBI Director in history. On his watch, white supremacists run free, qualified staff are pushed out, and he refuses to even name right-wing extremism as the top threat. I have ZERO confidence in him to keep Americans safe.
