> save $15M a year by cutting a screwworm monitoring program > screwworm outbreak almost immediately > $1B to combat it Government efficiency

his entire fortune is extracted from the public purse. parasite.

This isn’t happening out in the open, but Hollywood is quietly passing on projects Trump wouldn’t like—anything that might portray him unfavorably—as studios seek subsidies, tax incentives, and good standing with an administration known for rewarding allies and punishing enemies. If storytellers are self-censoring before a script is even made, what does that mean for a healthy democracy?

So glad he’s getting excellent government funded care after spending his entire political career trying to block everyone else from having the same.

BREAKING: Stanford University graduates staged a walkout during Google CEO Sundar Pichai’s keynote address at commencement Sunday. The walkout was organized by Students for Justice in Palestine and No Tech for Apartheid as a protest against Google’s contracts with the IDF, Dept. of Homeland Security, and ICE.

The billionaire donors supporting Susan Collins have a net worth of $888 billion, or nearly nine times Maine’s entire economic output in 2025. None are Maine residents. buff.ly/5l7W0XH

Speaking as a former pool operator. Painting the bottom of a shallow pool exposed to direct sunlight that's surrounded by trees dark blue simply creates the perfect conditions for algae to bloom lmao. This is the perfect exemplar for Trumps presidency.

Algae has been found in the Reflecting Pool just 4 days after Trump's $16,000,000 renovations.

Capitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare

It turns out that if you gut CBS news, gut 60 Minutes, promise to gut CNN, cancel Colbert, get $29B in Saudi, Qatari & UAE money, and hold a weird lavish banquet for the President and acting AG in a federal building… you can get your illegal merger approved by the DOJ.

Honestly, the most annoying thing about being human right now is knowing we already have the intelligence and resources to end world hunger, fight climate change, and cure cancer BUT greed and billionaires keep millions suffering instead. The wasted human potential is heartbreaking.

Once again, they are planning on mass death and slavery. And i am not joking.

The FBI raided and arrested 7 pro-Palestine activists this morning for their involvement in student organizing at UMich. They are still targeting the student movement. Please spread the word about this. Donate to the legal fund in this thread

According to a new report released today by the Miami New Times, Trump threw and funded underage sex parties at his Palm Beach golf course. The president was made aware of the pending publication 2 days ago. Maybe now you understand why we struck Iran last night.

Everyone okay with that? They took money from every pay check ever had and spent it somewhere else..pissed yet?

Scientists at Trump’s EPA say they are being told to make chemical risks “disappear on paper.” Not to study or manage them, but to make them vanish. When a safety test on a household chemical shows danger, supervisors reportedly ask to keep shrinking the scenario until the poison looks safe. They have reassigned senior scientists to paperwork and handed life-and-death risk assessments to staff with less experience. They have installed former chemical industry lobbyists to run the very offices that are supposed to regulate the chemical industry. A gift to industry, paid for with your family’s health. They are even throwing out research on how certain chemicals hit certain communities harder, calling decades of established science “DEI.” You can make risk disappear on paper. The cancer does not disappear. The birth defects do not disappear. The infertility does not disappear. The kids drinking the water and getting sick do not disappear. The EPA exists to protect people, not to protect the profit margins of the people poisoning them. Every American deserves to know what is happening. #TrumpMakesUsSick cnn.com/2026/06/08/politics/…

Repost by Monday, June 15 for a chance to win this signed out-of-print Blu-ray of John Schlesinger’s PACIFIC HEIGHTS! It’s Pvt. Joker vs. Batman! I’ll pick one winner at random and announce next #ModineMonday. Good luck! #PhysicalMedia

Gaza is taking its last breaths, and the situation we have reached is extremely dangerous. Temperatures are rising to suffocating levels, and the tents where hundreds of thousands live have turned into ovens made of fabric and plastic. There is no electricity, no air conditioning, no fans, no cold water. People try to sleep, but heat, hunger, and fear make sleep seem like an impossible dream. Clean water is scarce, cleaning supplies are almost nonexistent, and essential medicines are unavailable. Skin diseases are spreading in a terrifying way among children and adults, while garbage piles up and sewage mixes with displacement areas, spreading even more suffering. Long lines form for food, yet many return empty handed. Aid is decreasing, and most relief centers have stopped or are no longer able to meet even the minimum needs. At night, rats, insects, snakes, and scorpions crawl into the tents, while during the day people face unbearable heat and endless hunger. There is no safety, no privacy, and nowhere to go. Meanwhile, killings and destruction continue daily, while Gaza’s space shrinks day by day, forcing people into smaller and more overcrowded areas. This is not life. This is not displacement. This is a complete collapse of everything that allows human beings to live with dignity. What more is the world waiting for? How many children must go hungry? How many patients must die before the world acts? Do not stay silent. Speak about Gaza. Share what is happening.

Beyond brain fog: viral proteins as convergent drivers of neuroinflammation and proteinopathy 🚨“COVID-19 never really leaves your brain.” New science review proposes SARSCoV2 viral proteins stay behind as long-lived toxins, triggering chronic neuroinflammation and planting the seeds of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, even after mild infection. This very interesting and eye-catching GERMAN review reframes post-viral neurological syndromes( L0ngC0vid) as driven by persistent viral proteins acting as long-term toxins ("protein-as-pathogen" model), not just the active infection! ➡️Core mechanisms: - SARSCoV2 Spike and OTHER viral proteins activate glial TLR4/TLR2 receptors, triggering chronic neuroinflammatory cascades via NLRP3 inflammasome, - They also disrupt autophagy, allowing toxic protein aggregates (tau, amyloid-beta, α-synuclein) to accumulate and seed neurodegeneration, ➡️SARSCoV2 specific evidence: - Animal studies show Spike protein alone (without live virus) induces TLR4-mediated cognitive deficits, memory impairment, synaptic loss, and sustained neuroinflammation, recapitulating post-COVID syndrome, - Spike binds α-synuclein, accelerating Parkinson-like clumps, ➡️Human data evidence: - Millions experience "brain fog," - Post-COVID patients exhibit measurable brain damage: cortical thinning, hippocampal iron accumulation, and biomarkers of ongoing neuronal injury, ➡️Broader risks: - Even mild infections leave lingering proteins that promote Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s-like pathology via shared pathways, - Same pathways seen in influenza, dengue, West Nile etc, - Mild infection = no protection, ‼️So, according to this review, the “protein-as-pathogen” model makes it crystal clear: every new SARSCoV2 infection (even mild or asymptomatic) deposits more of these long-lived toxic viral proteins into the brain. They don’t fully clear. They accumulate. Each reinfection reloads the TLR4/TLR2 → NLRP3 inflammasome trigger and further collapses autophagy, speeding up the tau/amyloid/α-synuclein proteinopathy and neurodegeneration. SARS-CoV-2 does not just infect. It weaponizes its own proteins as long-lived intracellular saboteurs. Millions are probably already carrying this hidden payload. This is not brain fog. This is a silent, population-scale reprogramming of human brains toward dementia-like decline. The long-term neurological cost will probably dwarf the acute pandemic itself! #AvoidSars2 #AvoidReinfections sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
