SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26

NO - 41%
YES - 38%
UNSURE - 21%

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

No but this is entirely correct

One of the most clarifying and revealing things you can realize about authoritarians is that they are just irrepressibly soft, pathetic, and only comfortable if they are crushing skulls or playing the victim.

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

AOC describes what has happened in Gaza as a genocide, praises the idea of wealth taxes and has condemned corporate monopolies. Those positions are correct, and they are shared by many Democratic voters.

But not by most of the party’s other 2028 hopefuls. trib.al/tjJdp9t

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Senior day! Stay tuned after the game for the 5 seniors being honored. Caroline, Azzi, Ayanna, Ice, and Serah. I believe it can be streamed on UConn's YouTube or UConn+!

I wonder how things might change if there was a law for companies over a certain size, that triggered during layoffs: If they layoff a percentage of the workforce, all their officers and board members have their base and stock compensation permanently reduced by that same percentage.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests

- shelob will be the new point of contact

Exactly right.

Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.

Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.

Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.

Every possible angle.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Bovino is just the beginning.
Keep up the fight.
Things are shifting.

They don't

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

hey everybody lifelong tech expert here

> "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility

that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

I wonder how many Twin Cities veterans had Alex Pretti as a nurse

People think America became the Bad Place after Trump got elected when in reality we elected him because this is the Bad Place.

That does it!

Highlights •Severity of Alzheimer's disease (AD) correlates with NAD+ homeostasis dysregulation •Preserving brain NAD+ homeostasis prevents AD in mice • Restoring brain NAD+ homeostasis reverses advanced AD in mice • Multiomics across human and mouse AD brain identifies nodes for human AD reversal Summary Alzheimer's has long been considered irreversible, but new research challenges that assumption. Scientists discovered that severe drops in the brain's energy supply help drive the disease-and restoring that balance can reverse damage, even in advanced cases. In mouse models, treatment repaired brain pathology, restored cognitive function, and normalized Alzheimer's biomarkers. The results offer fresh hope that recovery may be possible.

Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is traditionally considered irreversible. Here, however, we provide proof of principle for therapeutic reversibility of advanced AD. In advanced disease amyloid-driven 5xFAD mice, treatment with P7C3-A20, which restores nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) homeostasis, reverses tau phosphorylation, blood-brain barrier deterioration, oxidative stress, DNA damage, and neuroinflammation and enhances hippocampal neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity, resulting in full cognitive recovery and reduction of plasma levels of the clinical AD biomarker p-tau217. P7C3-A20 also reverses advanced disease in tau-driven PS19 mice and protects human brain microvascular endothelial cells from oxidative stress. In humans and mice, pathology severity correlates with disruption of brain NAD+ homeostasis, and the brains of nondemented people with Alzheimer's neuropathology exhibit gene expression patterns suggestive of preserved NAD+ homeostasis. Forty-six proteins aberrantly expressed in advanced 5xFAD mouse brain and normalized by P7C3-A20 show similar alterations in human AD brain, revealing targets with potential for optimizing translation to patient care.

🧪🧵⬇️

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

i am tired of people thinking these two things are at odds, they are not
