Every war we get the same bullshit from apologists for the war. They falsely claimed we were traitors when we opposed the Vietnam war, supported Saddam when we opposed the Iraq War, support Putin if questioning the official line & strategy re Ukraine & claim we support Hamas if opposed to genocide in Gaza. They miss the fact that the government lies about every war.

Another study shows that vaccination can reduce but not eliminate risk of Long Covid. A comprehensive set of precautions, including but not limited to vaccines, is needed to protect against Long Covid.

I'm also getting fed up with Democrats who claim to be defending democracy by telling me who I must vote for. That is not how democracy works.

I notice the same people were totally quiet when we were trying to fight Biden's attacks on the First Amendment and expansion of warrantless mass surveillance. I'm doing some house cleaning and blocking a bunch of them. It makes no sense for Democrats to be backing near dictatorial powers for the current as well as next president.

Mitt Romney admits that the TicTok ban is about suppressing information on what is going on in Gaza. He's not the first to admit that. The ban gives the government new powers to censor the internet and sets a terrible precedent.

Democrats attacking students protesting, while backing genocide in Gaza, sounds like a poor move a few months before a Democratic National Convention in Chicago to those with a knowledge of history.

In most cases the FISA reauthorization contains amendments to massively increase warrantless mass surveillance of Americans. One exception is changing the law so members of Congress, but not ordinary citizens, are warned if they are under surveillance.

In the past when we had a Defense Secretary who told a lie like this many Democrats would be protesting, including against a Democratic Defense Secretary during the Vietnam years. My bet is that many of today's Democrats will defend Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's denial of genocide in Gaza. Today's Democrats are yesterday's Republicans.

Antivaxxers might not be the dumbest people on the planet, but they sure come close. What makes them especially vile is that their actions can lead to killing people.

It is meaningless for Biden or Harris to call for a temporary ceasefire when they are actively supporting genocide in Gaza. The only acceptable course of action is for them to stop funding Israeli genocide, stop interfering with UN humanitarian aid & stop vetoing UN resolutions for a ceasefire.

Pro-war Democrats should be happy today as the only anti-war candidate has dropped out. Remember when Democrats were opposed to Bush/Cheney as opposed to embracing their policies with Clinton and then Biden?
