And this is the optimistic take?Leyden talks a lot about how 'the benefit of trump is the destruction' without any addressing of the cost. Or I guess its worth it.https://hubski.com/pub/471211https://hubski.com/pub/471211It will continue to matter less and less if they are really thinking. These are likely building blocks to really thinking.https://hubski.com/pub/471209https://hubski.com/pub/471209Buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buhBuhullish.https://hubski.com/pub/471208https://hubski.com/pub/471208Bullish though.I wonder how little of an extra push it will take for our local trump supporter to be okay with this.

Americans “have been misled by the pharmaceutical industry and their captured government agency allies into believing that measles is a deadly disease and that measles vaccines are necessary, safe, and effective,” he wrote in a foreword to a 2021 book.“He never said anything about the vaccine being helpful,” Hildebrand told me. He did not want to go into more detail about his conversation with Kennedy, saying he’d been advised (he didn’t say by whom) not to make any public comments. But he seemed to view the secretary’s statement as confirmation that the MMR vaccine is untrustworthy.Hildebrand, too, blames doctors for the deaths. “I’m willing to do any- and everything I can to make sure the hospitals start getting some ‘act right’ in them so nobody else has to go through this,” he said. “They pretty much murdered them.” In the case of his daughter, he believes the hospital should have given her budesonide, a steroid often prescribed for asthma, among other conditions, that has been touted by Kennedy for treating measles. “They didn’t give her the budesonide breathing treatment that we’d been asking for,” Hildebrand said. “They were saying that the IV steroids they were giving her were better.” A spokesperson for University Medical Center in Lubbock didn’t respond to a request for comment.When doctors are getting shot in red states over this, will our local 'bull' give a shit?Or will there even be any doctors left in republican America to shoot? This is evil. Full stop. I am sickened that men I used to look up to and respect want us to give this evil room to breathe and mature and grow.https://hubski.com/pub/471156https://hubski.com/pub/471156So much could be said, but leaving that to the tag.https://hubski.com/pub/471150https://hubski.com/pub/471150lil steve My daughter played some hockeyhttps://hubski.com/pub/471148https://hubski.com/pub/471148https://hubski.com/pub/471147https://hubski.com/pub/471147https://hubski.com/pub/471145https://hubski.com/pub/471145Our evidence comes mostly from research done by those 14 Attorneys General. Some of their briefs have been posted online for the world to see. The briefs include hundreds of quotations from internal reports, memos, Slack conversations, and public statements in which executives and employees of TikTok acknowledge and discuss the harms that their company is causing to children. We organize the evidence into five clusters of harms:Addictive, compulsive, and problematic useDepression, anxiety, body dysmorphia, self-harm, and suicidePorn, violence, and drugsSextortion, CSAM, and sexual exploitationTikTok knows about underage use and takes little actionWe show that company insiders were aware of multiple widespread and serious harms, and that they were often acting under the orders of company leadership to maximize engagement regardless of the harm to children.
