Former USAF experts express dismay at Israeli use of US precision munitions, explaining that the absurdly high civilian death tolls of recent strikes show that IDF is misusing US-supplied munitions.
Reminder that Donald Trump, who is a felon, admitted this week to authorities in NY that he is in possession of a firearm, and yet ATF has not a goddamn thing to say about it.
Burning down a refugee camp is not a tragic mishap, especially if you first burned down the refugees original homes, their hospitals, their water pumps and treatment plants, and their fields. No, it is not a mishap. It is an intentional act of violence against people who have lost everything.
@Infoseepage@WuMargaret@Adam_Cadmon1 I would argue that *both* are actively supporting it, if you consider the US to be doing so (which I do). Trump firmly set us on this path, and has been quite clear where he would stand on Jan 21, 2025. In fact, it is clear that ethnic cleansing in Gaza, Ukraine, China, and anywhere else, would meet no resistance from Trump. Doesn’t mean Biden has clean hands.
@liferstate yeah, the old “we have people we could help with those dollars here”, whilst voting against spending any dollars ever to help anyone here. Dorks.
I’m just gonna say it — this “Genocide Joe” thing is the dumbest fucking liberal shit I have seen in years.
Joe Biden can do more to *try* to rein in Israel, but Biden doesn’t run Israel. He isn’t CIC for IDF. He isn’t deciding what hospital to bomb. He isn’t deciding what border crossings to close.
You know who is pushing the Genocide Joe narrative? The fucking Russians and the Israelis. Why is that? Well, it’s an election year, and Trump is a hard right, pro-Israel puppet.
The current SCOTUS continues to do what they’ve been doing since Dobbs. They make one decision that is pretty middle of the road “yep, that’s the right call”, and then the next five or six big decisions are all deeply unpopular, and wildly partisan. They think people don’t see the systematic erosion of democracy, separation of church and state, and equality. They are so fucking removed from actual society that they think this will all blow over.
Brain worms, or more specifically, beef and pork tape worms (taenia saginata and taenia solium) are not rare in the US. We find the calcified cysts from these on brain CT scans all the time, particularly in communities with large populations of South and Central American immigrants. They don’t make people into racist, antivaccine, profiteering, grifters.
Some people are just bad people. The tapeworms don’t deserve the shade.
Nope, nah. Senator Tim Scott didn’t “dodge” or “not commit” to accepting the 2024 election results. What he DID say is that Trump would be the 47th president “at the end of the day”, and doubled down on that statement when asked to clarify.
When they tell you they don’t care how you vote because they’ve already decided who is king, believe them.
Someone explain to me the argument for snipers at a student protest.
I have seen zero reports of protest-related shootings. I have seen zero reports of cops being killed by students. I have seen zero reports of students taking hostages. Why the everloving fuck are cop shops putting guys with guns on the roof? It makes no sense.
Video of officers with NYPD throwing protestors down concrete steps are emerging this morning. If a protestor threw a cop down concrete steps, they would be charged with felony assault or attempted murder, guaranteed. I’m not here to debate the optics of occupying the admin building at Columbia (I do think it is stupid). I’m here to say that officers responding in a blatantly unsafe fashion once again points to the “cops are there to protect property, not people” stereotype.
Remember that time Gaza protestors stormed a college campus, beat police with flagpoles bearing the stars and bars, built a gallows out front, broke down the doors of the admin building, shit on the walls, and took photos on the Uni president’s desk before stealing her computer?
I can’t tell you what will happen or not, but I can level-set for you a bit. Here’s what a guy who was in the shit during the worst of COVID is doing about bird flu: - stocked up on baby formula for our new kid - picked up a few extra cases of diapers and wipes from Costco - ordered a case of 240 3M Aura N-95s to add to my stock - bought an extra bale of toilet paper rolls - made sure I have ~2 weeks of canned and dried food
When a kid dies in my ER, there are multiple debriefs, and we usually see some of our staff really hurting for days afterwards. It’s a rare thing, it is awful, and everyone from the prehospital providers to the ER registration staff are affected.
Hospitals in Gaza have seen thousands of dead kids since October.
If companies had to pay people $10,000 every time they lost a person’s social securitt number, it wouldn’t happen. The problem is there is nearly no cost to these large data breaches.
Ah yes, the famously impartial judicial system once again giving a billionaire crook a different set of rules. Do you think they’d let a working class african american dude post a reduced bond? Fuck no! They’d take his house and put him on the street.
The safety of medications is precisely not within the purview of the Supreme Court of the United States. It is decided by FDA, an arm of the Executive branch. SCOTUS has no business debating or considering the safety of mifepristone — that was decided by FDA decades ago. If you hear safety, studies, adverse events, or any other discussion of clinical data in front of SCOTUS, it is someone playing politics to cover for abysmal judicial activism. We know it’s safe.
Every time John Bolton opens his mouth to disparage Trump, just remember he failed to muster the courage to tell the American people what he had witnessed in the White House. He could have told Americans what Trump was up to, and he could have testified in either impeachment trial openly and honestly, but instead he was a fucking coward who waited until Trump was out of power to write a shit book about it.
Hunter, ER doc, believer in democracy. I’m here to rant, combat medical misinfo, shitpost, and get social therapy. Posts aren’t medical advice. This is the only platform I am currently on. If you find “me” elsewhere, it isn’t me. “You can’t love your country only when you win” — JB ‘24
