Can we please end loser leftism and extol the public good?
Stop thinking “if only we could convince people” of something, that things would change. Just stop that. It’s not about explaining.
We need a shadow government to scrutinize everything that happens at HHS.
Every policy decision and everything that comes out of that entire HHS department, and all the agencies within, needs to be scrutinized.
Herd immunity misinformation on the left.
Youtube served up a liberal channel with healthcare professionals that were ostensibly criticizing RFKJr – though I feel like they were trying to bothsides the guy, buying into some of his claims they think they agree with. But the issue is that covid vaccine uptake was never great even for the original series, it never […]
Pasteurization is popular because milkborne pathogens are not.
The risk just isn’t worth it. Especially for the cats.
Facebook is censoring articles about tech tycoons plans for monarchy.
Same memo that I included in my February 7th newsletter.
Online troll farm mercenaries to be hired by US government to police speech online.
There are operatives celebrating a boon in their job market.
Undermining the messenger is one of the most effective ways to sabotage a good idea or effective action.
here are business incentives behind this, and lots of methods available to those with lots of money to sabotage opposition.
Taxpayer money to be thrown into the nonsense hole.
And I’m sure there’s plenty of scummy clout chasing pathetic scientists and total nonsense believing kook doctors will be willing to follow the politics right into garbage medical disinformation promotion.
RFKJr is pushing Great Barrington Declaration “natural herd immunity” eugenics pseudoscience for bird flu.
RFK Jr. warns vaccinating poultry for bird flu could backfire By Alexander Tin March 6, 2025 / 4:00 PM EST / CBS News We’ve in fact said, at the USDA, that they should consider maybe the possibility of letting it run through the flock so that we can identify the birds and preserve the birds that are […]
On cleaving MAGA from the tech tycoon project.
It makes sense to use Steve Bannon’s talking points, because obviously he’s expert in messaging to MAGA.
Info cocoons and the fired IRS worker saying that silly comment about thinking Trump had “business acumen” .
The fired IRS worker thought Trump had “business acumen” because he was in an info cocoon. He probably watched The Apprentice and believed it was reality not just a fictionalized reality tv show. He was likely well situated enough during the first Trump term to not pay much attention to politics. Many people, even government workers, ignore […]
Social security is essential necessary social insurance.
robertreich – march 2, 2025 Elon Musk called Social Security a “ponzi scheme.” This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger “ponzi scheme” is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations? This social security lie is the biggest […]
New FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino never stopped promoting anti-vax nonsense for political attention.
Conservatives have admitted to running ad campaigns to convince liberals to be anti-mask, so I don’t doubt there’s been target marketing of anti-vax aimed at democrats.
Republicans know their project is crushing financial decisions for ordinary citizens.
I’m probably not the only person who’s now holding back on major purchases, such as planned home improvement projects, because of the uncertain state of the economy caused by the political disarray of the nation which is already resulting in financial hardships and forcible downsizing of community investments.
Goldbug political disinformation ops from a government agency.
EPA press release: “Administrator Lee Zeldin Finds Gold Bars from EPA at Stacey Abrams’ Connected Group, Biden-Harris Ethical Red Flags” Actual news story: “Lee Zeldin likens Biden energy ‘scheme’ connected to Stacey Abrams to ‘throwing gold bars off the Titanic’” There were no gold bars involved at all that I could find out. The hypothetical […]
RFKJr continues to tell pandemic denial lies, resurrecting old canards of propaganda.
America needs a shadow government organized to scrutinize and investigate everything that happens within HHS.
Many will be following the politics, not the science.
Many scientists, medical professionals, and public health leadership followed the politics when it came to masks in the pandemic, or vaccines, and even were swayed by right-wing advertising that targeted liberals. And all this will only get worse now that the federal purse in the US is held out for those who are willing to sell out patients and public health.
Donald Trump is a remote worker at Mar-A-Lago.
Jesse Dollemore pointed out that Donald Trump is himself teleworking while his administration has been campaigning against telework for federal workers, he’s hanging out at Mar-A-Lago. I pointed that out last month, that Trump and also Elon Musk spent the campaign teleworking from Mar-a-Lago, not any office. Butts in seats downtown for “The Economy” (aka commercial real […]
No to data center corporate welfare.
Data centers don’t need to be subsidized as businesses that need them and will build them either way. There is zero justification for giving taxpayer giveaways to big tech companies and cryptocurrency tycoons to build their data centers. Boondoggle – Big Tech’s AI Blackmail State and local data center extortion is going national. Pat Garofalo […]
