Andrew Tate: "Reading books is for losers...Books are a total waste of time."
Kanye West: "I am not a fan of books...I am a proud non-reader of books."
Clavicular: "I don't really read books...you could just get the information through summaries and articles."
Alix Earle: “I’ve never read a book. Like, maybe Dr. Seuss."
Don't be like these people.
Pick up a book today.

This should outrage every American. This is the president of the United States telling Iran to bomb American cities. I live in Los Angeles, but that’s beside the point. Tommorow it could be your city.
My fellow Americans, this is not normal. This is not funny. This behavior should ring alarm bells for us all!

In the 1960s, most children with leukaemia died
Now over 90% survive
Science did that

Hepatitis C used to mean cirrhosis, cancer, liver transplant.
Now it's 8–12 weeks of tablets and a cure rate over 95%.
Science did that.

From the Navy SEAL officer who planned and executed the Bin Laden raid: “In recent months, President Trump, upon advice from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, has relieved or forced the retirement of some of the finest officers that have ever served this nation. I have personally worked with most of them in combat….And this week, in an egregious decision, the president forced General Chris Donahue to step down from his position in command of U.S. Army Europe. Donahue is without question one of the most brilliant officers I know. He is strategically focused, tactically aggressive, personally courageous, exceptionally thoughtful in his planning and execution, and compassionate with his troops. He has the respect of every man and woman who ever served with him—and you can put me at the top of that list.”
ADM McRaven: “I can tell you from experience that Generals C. Q. Brown, Randy George, Jim Mingus, J. P. McGee, Dave Hodne, Jim Slife, and Joe Berger and Admirals Lisa Franchetti and Jamie Sands were war fighters through and through”

Probably not a good sign when celebrities have to fund social services because the president won't.

My dad was a public school teacher; and he always said the toughest parts of the job were:
1. Having to pay for your own classroom chalk, and
2. Performing gender-reassignment surgeries during class hours w/out parents finding out.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.
When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

If Dolly Parton can gift 20million books a year to children, why can’t Amazon, Apple and Microsoft do something like this??

Some point out we’ve had years with more outbreaks/ recalls than this year.
Raw outbreak counts miss the point - size and scale (ie impact) matter far more.
This year’s Cyclospora outbreak is the largest on record. Salmonella = 1.5 million eggs recalled. Screwworm contributing to a ground beef shortage. National supply disruptions, food prices climbing, and the Secretary telling people to eat more of the exact foods the FDA keeps pulling from shelves.
Meanwhile, CDC (and state/ local) teams that investigate and contain these outbreaks were cut significantly. The fact that the number isn’t higher than in some recent years actually underscores the real problem: outbreaks & recalls will always happen. When you slash public health staffing, funding, and testing capacity, small outbreaks stop getting stopped - and turn into big, expensive, national ones.🤷🏽♂️

Media and (more importantly) the public are clearly focused on contaminated food.
RFK presents a chart of total FDA recalls -that includes drugs and medical devices.
That’s not transparency - that’s changing the subject. Filter the same dashboard to “food recalls” and the “lowest in a decade” claim disappears.
The public deserves an honest presentation of the numbers.
The mainstream media is so desperate to attack this Administration that it now attacks FDA for doing its job.
@FDA identifies safety problems, gets unsafe products off the market, and protects American families. That’s public health in action.
And the facts speak for themselves: FDA recalls remain among the lowest levels in more than a decade.

I served 24 years in the United States military. No commander in chief I have ever served under, democrat or republican, has ever had this level of indifference for our troops.
NONE. It’s a damn disgrace. These people are spitting in the faces of our service members everyday.
