Protest GOP attacks on democracy & civil liberties. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Covid can cause long lasting damage to the immune system. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: It is good to see centrist Democrats now opposing war when the US has been at war every year of the Obama & Biden administrations, plus both Trump administrations & Bush after 9/11. Despite this some are falsely posting that there were no wars under Obama & Biden. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Covid increases risk of deaths from heart failure. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Team Trump changed position on opposing war with Iran. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: @nprofile…g6ut Of course Trump will list this as the ninth war he stopping. This is what The Peace President does. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: The Peace President and The Most Moral Army In The World launch unprevoked attack on Iran. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: The Lancet: RFK Jr, 1 year of failure https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(26)00414-9/fulltext npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Trump aides struggle with how to spend $500 billion more on military. Cut the military budget and use part of it to pay for Medicare for All. https://wapo.st/40sgBRz npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: @nprofile…e9je And don't forget how Biden created the debt crisis when in the Senate npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: If partisan Democrats were serious about not wanting people like Trump to win they would stop defending candidates like Clinton, Biden & Harris who are responsible for Trump & enable his policies. They should be demanding changes in the party leadership rather than sticking with Vote Blue No Matter Who. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Study in Spain shows deaths from healthcare associated infections are three times mortality from traffic accidents. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: The New Democrat Coalition is just one more group which wants to maintain the Democratic Party as controlled opposition with the same policies as Republicans. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Trump's tariffs cost US households $1000 last year and predicted to be higher next year. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Members of the House of Representatives looking at needed reforms including ranked choice voting and multirepresentative legislative districts. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: I see a lot of people bragging that their favorite politicians aren't in the Epstein files. This often just means that instead of supporting Israeli genocide due to being blackmailed they are supporting it due to being bribed or they are just morally bankrupt. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Many people are saying that Harris cannot win. The bigger problem is that, like in 2020, any Democrat might be able to win in 2028. Electing Harris means that nothing fundamentally changes and a subsequent win by Republicans becomes more likely. Don't waste a good chance at victory on an establishment Democrat who is little different from the Republicans. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Current Covid vaccine 40% effective against hospitalization and 79% effective against death. It is best to get vaccinated for protection against severe disease and use other protection including masks to reduce risk of infection and less severe illness. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Kamala Harris says she is making her campaign web site a progression hub. Support for genocide, expanding ICE, mass incarceration, Biden's policies allowing Covid to spread out of control to please short term business interests, and campaigning with Liz Cheney bragging about the lethality of the US military are not progressive. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Review supports the use of Metformin in acute Covid to reduce risk of Long Covid npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: In 2024 Biden pushed hard to get enough Democratic votes to expand warrantless mass surveillance & block attempts at reform. He put together a narrow majority & had to compromise with an extension of only two years. Chances at limiting mass surveillance might be better this year with Biden gone & Trump weakened. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Wastewater concentrations are very high for COVID-19 in Connecticut, Iowa, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Oklahoma, and South Dakota; for influenza A in South Dakota and Vermont; and for RSV in Maryland, Massachusetts, Louisiana, and Virginia. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Catherine O'Hara dead at 71. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: @nprofile…q5hl There are definitely problems with using IQ but it is something they can measure npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Long term complications of Covid including decrease in IQ which "may have increased the number of adults in the U.S. with an IQ of less than 70 from 4.7 million to 7.5 million." npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Study reports about 18% of adults have had long Covid. 86% of those with Long Covid in the United States report brain fog with lower numbers reporting neurological or psychiatric symptoms in lower income countries. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Man arrested for impersonating FBI agent in attempt to free Luigi Mangione from jail. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: NASA understands that masks work in their quarantine rules to keep astronauts safe before a mission: "avoid public places, wear masks, and maintain distance from others they come into contact with." npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Trump administration officials meeting with Canadian separatists in Alberta per Daily Beast. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: This year's Pfizer Covid vaccine estimated to be 57% effective against emergency department/urgent care (ED/UC) visits and 54% effective against outpatient visits among adults. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Biden pushed the TikTok ban & it is now under rightwing control. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Trump administration finally gets something right. Proposal to limit payments to Medicare Advantage plans & end extra payments based upon chart reviews often used to bill for questionable diagnoses. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Democrats including Biden and Harris have supported expanding ICE and even now the party establishment is fighting calls to abolish it. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: We are where we are now largely due to repeated attacks on democracy from the Democratic Party, including rigging primary rules to get more conservative candidates since the 1980s & more blatant intervention in 2016, 2020 & 2024. Without this Trump would have never been elected. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: We were warned in this op-ed in 2018 and so-called centrist Democrats have only continued to move right, enabling Republican policies: "Centrists Are the Most Hostile to Democracy, Not Extremists" https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/05/23/opinion/international-world/centrists-democracy.html?smid=nytcore-android-share npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Another murder by ICE in Minneapolis. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Protesting in the npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: How Trump has eroded Democratic norms over the past year. https://www.npr.org/2026/01/23/g-s1-106562/trump-democracy-constitution-executive-power npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Wall Street Journal reports that Trump administration is seeking regime change in Cuba by the end of the year. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: @nprofile…exca Hopefully fixed npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Trump's cuts to USAID has led to an estimated 762,000 deaths including more than 500,000 children. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Long Covid has become the most common chronic disease in children. Not surprisingly, study finds that children with Long Covid experience functional limitations and school absenteeism. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Congratulations to Indiana. Big 10 wins third consecutive national championship. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: @nprofile…ve5y Unfortunately the issue of his mental capacity comes down to requiring action by his VP and a vote of the cabinet (which was picked based upon loyalty to Trump). Plus it would next require a 2/3 vote in Congress if he contests their decision to remove him. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Trump links taking Greenland to being snubbed for Nobel Peace Prize in batshit crazy letter to PM of Norway, saying "I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace." Letter seeks "Complete and Total Control of Greenland." npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Potential Democratic candidates avoid questions re trans issues. https://www.axios.com/2026/01/18/democrats-2028-struggle-trans-rights npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Establishment Democrats hate litmus tests but that won't stop me from listing some of mine: npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Yet another study shows that Covid causes prolonged immune dysregulation. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: As we are getting into state elections this year in Michigan, it is a good time to remind people that Michigan voted for women for Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General & Senator. Michigan rejecting Harris & Clinton had nothing to do with sexism. Both suffered by going to the right & supporting militarism & now genocide. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: @nprofile…w8s4 Beyond politics and legal fights, hopefully demonstrations and acts like interfering with ICE will help. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: @nprofile…w8s4 Therefore we need to get more Democrats to be more selective in who they vote for and to drop "vote Blue no matter who" and to protest when Democratic leaders do bad things. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: @nprofile…w8s4 This was successful in throwing out virtually all of the far right wingers in the next election, limiting their damage. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: @nprofile…w8s4 Actually it can go beyond Democrats. I live in a county which is totally dominated by Republicans--but on a local level they are primarily concerned with keeping local and county services running as opposed to ideology. The Republican primaries are essentially the general elections. A few years ago ideological far right Republicans swept the primaries, mainly because turnout is generally very low. People responded with a coalition of Democrats, Republicans & independents... npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: @nprofile…w8s4 Sorry it took me a couple of days to respond--this is not an easy question to quickly jot out a response to on a phone. Before totally rejecting working without Democrats, not that I'm largely referring to the national party. Democrats do differ when getting more local. In some states like New York and California, total Democratic control has its own problems, but often Democrats can be part of the battle on a local level... npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Trump cannot cancel the midterms and his talk about this is a distraction. Here's what he is actually doing to try to influence the results. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Trump's war on Minnesota npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: @nprofile…w8s4 In other words, voting for Democrats will not get us our of this mess unless we first replace the current party leaders and many of the members of Congress. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Of course a Democratic think tank is going to argue against abolishing ICE. Just like how Biden increased spending on ICE over the objection of human rights groups and Harris campaigned saying she would further increase ICE. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: @nprofile…w8s4 You are missing the point of what I am saying. It is not that democracy is not worth fighting for. The problem is that attacks on democracy started well before Trump and both parties are involved. The United States has been an oligarchy for a while, with the same donors controlling both parties. Democrats as well as Republicans have been eroding civil liberties. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: It is hard to believe after all we have seen the last five years that there are people who still think that the Democrats are anything more than controlled opposition, or that things would be significantly different if Harris won the election--beyond her doing the same in a more joyful manner. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: FBI raids home of Washington Post reporter. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: @nprofile…utam I wouldn't necessarily use social media as an indicator of general beliefs. Threads was largely formed by establishment Democrats who left Twitter due to Musk making it heavily BlueMAGA. I did find a number of people who oppose both duopoly parties. I began aggressively blocking BlueMAGA who commented rudely on my posts and then went on to block those making posts along the lines of blaming those who did not vote for Harris for Trump. This made my timeline far more anti duopoly. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: @nprofile…utam Even more so at Threads and BlueSky. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Moderna 2024 COVID vaccine was 39% effective at preventing medically attended illness & 53% effective against hospitalization. It is safest to be vaccinated & take additional precautions including masks & air filtration. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: At least 17 states are rejecting RFK Jr's flawed vaccine guidelines and will follow professional society guidelines instead. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Best case scenario is that enough Democratic voters realize that centrist Democrats are little different from Republicans and defeat the establishment Democrats in primaries before taking control of Congress in the midterms. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: @nprofile…z57y Yes, Trump will often brag about things others would try to hide npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: @nprofile…z57y Obama npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Senseless wars, genocide, extrajudicial killings, shootings by ICE, attacks on civil liberties and democracy & politicalization of public health causing mass deaths have all occurred under both Republican and Democratic presidents. If you are only protesting one party & defending the other you are missing the problem. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Violence from ICE has not only occurred under Trump. There were 59 shootings by ICE from 2015 to 2021 with 23 deaths. Biden & Harris supported massive increases in ICE funding over objections from human rights groups & Trump has further increased their activity. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: The last 25 years have shown that both parties support the Forever Wars, including Trump & Obama who ran as antiwar candidates. While probably not realistic due to vastly different economic views, I've been fantasizing about a coalition of Greens, Libertarians & others who might get more people elected who would reverse the wars and bipartisan attacks on civil liberties since the start of the "War on Terror." npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Biden greatly increased the budget for ICE, ignoring protests from the left, and Democratic leaders continue to ignore calls to slash funding. We need a real opposition party, not controlled opposition from Democratic collabolators, and to abolish ICE. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Regime change by the United States has a poor track record of creating democracies. https://www.independent.org/article/2026/01/06/liberation-or-occupation/ npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Washington National Opera leaving Kennedy Center in rebuke to Trump. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Orwell got a lot right but he two things turned out differently: npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: @nprofile…cjn3 Could be either. Republican bullets and Democratic bullets both kill. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: @nprofile…ww5l The difference is that Trump brags about doing such things while Democrats attempt to hide it. Obama did not speak about all the countries he bombed and hoped people did not realize it. Trump would have bragged about how many people he killed. Harris would do the same, but with more joy. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: @nprofile…fr0f Even without reading the article, his lame response is easily available npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Percentage of your life spent at war based upon year of birth.

Don't whine if you nominate another war monger and you fail to get antiwar voters. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/01/08/trump-democrats-divided-venezuela/ npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Democrats failed to join the left in opposition to ICE. They have partnered with Republicans in increasing ICE funding, including by Biden in 2024, despite opposition from multiple human rights organizations. Almost everything bad that is happening under Trump has been facilitated by centrist Democrats. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Protests against ICE sparked around the US after Minneapolis shooting npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: With everything we are seeing, what have Democrats stopped calling for the elimination of ICE? npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Questionable if Republicans will really change course but Trump advised them to be flexible on the Hyde Amendment. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: US foreign policy is bipartisan imperialism. In addition to sanctions, Biden had a 25 million dollar bounty on Maduro. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Stealing Venezuela's oil is lunacy, but Trump has always been a terrible businessman. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: I'm off Mastodon for just over a week when Med-mastodon was down and it is remarkable how things have changed. Before it went down I was posting about Trump bombing NIgeria. Ten days later, its about Trump recently bombing Venezuela. Will it be Greenland next week? npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Things would be very different if Harris was president. Democratic voters would be defending her attacks on other countries instead of opposing attacks by Trump. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Why won't someone kidnap our president? npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Trump says the United States will be running Venezuela. Remember how things turned out in countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya after the US destroyed their governments. Besides, he really means he will be taking their oil. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Trump's attack on Venezuela was all about oil. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Democrats should take control of Congress this year and likely the White House in 2028 in response to Trump. They must not waste this. Reversing Trump's actions is not enough. They must also reverse the militarism and attacks on civil liberties & public health under Biden. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Covid leaves lasting changes in the brain even after recovery from acute symptoms npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Trump breaking records for most countries attacked despite claims of being an anti-war president..

Those who ignorant of medical science are most likely to fall for this. Don't believe the anti-mask propaganda. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: Vascular and coagulation complications of Long Covid leading to problems including heart disease and strokes. npub152rfa79htfhu7cc4t6dsgc420tmvphj5tp555dg76ya66z6s7s9sahw6dd Ron Chusid :verified: The Damage RFK Jr Has Done in Less Than a Year
