@_L1vY_ I'm all for vaccine safety, but it needs to be handled by licensed professionals who are appropriately educated.... not a conspiracy theorist like Geier who got his credentials from a cracker jack box 🫤 and treating autistic people like myself as diseased

"Exclusive w/ Lena Sun / lenasun:
Trump admin elevated David Geier, a vaccine skeptic who has promoted false claims about vaccines and autism, to lead a federal study to examine whether they are linked.
Geier was once disciplined for practicing medicine w/o a license.

And remember Anne Frank wasn’t living in Nazi Germany or Hitler’s homeland of Austria. She was living in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Fascism not only turns law and order on its head…it spreads beyond borders.
@ai6yr “allowing children as young as 14 years old to work overnight shifts. If the new law is passed, teenagers would be able to work overnight jobs on school days. They are currently prevented from working earlier than 6:30 am or later than 11 pm per state law.”
If you want a lot of teenagers falling asleep driving home from work, that’s a way to do it.
The government is taking dramatic steps in response to Teslas catching on fire and what's weird about this is they only care when there are *not* people in the car. If a Tesla catches on fire while it is empty that is a big deal to the government and they investigate it as terrorism and hate crimes. But if a Tesla catches on fire while people are driving it that is normal and the government sees nothing there to investigate

More European nations need to follow France’s 🇫🇷 lead & create something similar for their people.

The most logical explanation is that Jeff Goldberg broke into Mike Waltz’s home, stole his phone, invited himself to the Signal chat, then returned the phone. Honestly I can’t think of any other explanation that could possibly make sense.

@noondlyt So, this guy that Social Security just literally marked as dead, then robbed his bank account, and took forever to fix wouldn't get to vote because SSA tells the state he is dead and he is dropped from the voting rolls... #USPol #Elections

Trump signed an EO which can and will do many terrible things with regard to voting rights but the most insidious is the following reported by Marc Elias and Democracy Docket:
"The order mandates the Social Security commissioner must share federal databases with state and local election officials verifying the eligibility of registered voters and those attempting to register. It also charges the Department of Homeland Security and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency to review state voter registration lists."
Hegseth and the Trump administration’s assault on the truth could impact our military readiness for decades to come… solely by stifling inspiration. We are justly proud of our all-volunteer military service, and as the old saying goes, seeing is believing. https://contrarian.substack.com/p/the-real-harm-in-the-dods-revisionist?utm_medium=email

Trump now calling people "terrorists" who attack a Tesla is beyond laughable given he called people who waged the Jan. 6 terrorist attack “patriots.” Any attack on a Tesla is 100% Trump's fault. He's the one who normalized political violence. My article https://deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/tesla-dealership-attacks-are-happening
The White House might say no classified material, but as per Trump's stolen documents case, he'll say he declassified it by retroactive fiat (or whatever).
The law avoids that absurd attempt at a loophole by saying "national defense information," which this was.
Don't get caught up in "classified." The issue is much bigger.
