don't do this - not gonna work with cop zip ties
open a hair clip & jam the thin end under the pawl (the part that locks into the teeth) to release the strap
you can also use the end of the zip tie, bit more difficult, easier if there are two of you zip tied & you do each other

The elite media absolutely never talks about how the Mexican left utterly crushed the corrupt narco-establishment in Mexico and instituted a wildly popular democratic socialist government that’s still going strong after eight years because they wouldn’t want to give you any ideas

The day before Thanksgiving 2024, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries & their GOP co-sponsors secretly met with the Israel lobby to discuss a plan to bury the Antisemitism Awareness Act (IHRA censorship bill) in the “must pass” 2025 NDAA
Everyone was onboard with the bill to censor Americans from criticizing Israel.
Lucky for us, partisan infighting between the Senate and House over other issues prevented them from including it.
These two Israel shills now want to lead the House and Senate. Hell No!

🚨🇺🇸 ILLINOIS — Sen. Juliana Stratton:
“I will not support Senator Schumer as our leader.”
Does Chuck Really have the Votes to cling to power?

🚨 NEW: Mark Ruffalo is calling on House Democrats to dump Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker.
The actor is pushing a petition against the longtime Israel backer who has called his commitment to its security “ironclad and unbreakable” while supporting U.S. military aid throughout the genocide in Gaza.

The thing you have to understand about a Blue Tsunami is that it is the politically-engineered capitalist duopoly functioning exactly as intended. It is a pressure valve for public animus.
All this will give us is gridlock and performative Select Committee investigations preempted by pardons from Trump and maybe a slight easing of economic precarity at most. Meanwhile, the central contradiction of imperialism will just be dressed up with Land Acknowledgements & LGBTQ colors and continue apace.

We CANNOT have Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker of the House!!!
We want ACCOUNTABILITY, RETRIBUTION, and REPRESENTATION. Not Israel’s paid-for agenda.

Make Gaza trend worldwide again.
In two days, a new storm system is expected to hit the city. Tens of thousands of tents along the seafront are at risk of flooding, while thousands of children and their families face heavy rain and floods with no shelter to protect them.
Show your humanity. Speak up for Gaza, and don’t be afraid to tell the truth.

There is widespread confusion among Democrats this morning, after they accidentally won the US midterms despite their best efforts to lose. They now face their worst nightmare: enthused voters who actually expect something from them.
They are weighing up whether to condemn James Talarico and Abdul El-Sayed for giving people false hope, or pretend to be just like them. Perhaps the smart move will be to take the credit, just like that kid who pushes a train in that meme. Whichever way they go, there’s no denying this is awkward.
Ordinarily, Democrats prefer a tiny majority, so they can assign two bad cops to block every bill they introduce. Now they’ll either have to not introduce bills or pray that Trump vetoes them. Given the President spends half his time sleeping and can’t even finish his sentences, this is a risky strategy.
There is every chance that Americans end up with something good entirely by accident. I wouldn’t even rule out Trump forgetting to veto the release of the Epstein files. As you can imagine, the corporate donors who own both sides have steam coming out of their ears.
Democrats were so determined to lose that one of them endorsed a Republican to stop a Muslim from taking Michigan. Unfortunately, 60% of Michigan’s Jews turned out to be antisemites and voted for Halal law and Sharia meat. Chuck Schumer and Haley Stevens are losing their fucking minds.
It’s fair to say neither side wanted a blue wave to sweep across the US. Unfortunately, the Republicans’ strategy of saying a load of racist stuff and doing endless war backfired. Americans are only in favour of those things when they can afford fuel and groceries. Now that everything’s getting expensive, they are going cold on the whole imperialism thing.
President Trump was left scratching his head, wondering how he lost so badly, despite winning the Iran war 27 times this year. I don’t have the heart to tell him that Pete Hegseth lied. After all, he’s still mourning Lindsey Graham who could only watch on from hell as the results came in.
Without Lindsey Graham’s presence, the axis of evil is falling apart. The warmongers don’t even know who they are anymore. The result broke John Bolton so badly that his moustache crawled away and said it’s getting a divorce.
Bolton criticised Trump for his forever war in Iran and for surrounding himself with yes men. Given that he’s never seen a war that didn’t arouse him, this is deeply troubling.
The Republicans are facing a major identity crisis. If they’re no longer the party of paedophilia and genocide, what else can they offer? They’ve even lost the ability to cheat properly. They somehow lost the seats they’d gerrymandered, and to make matters worse, someone forgot to flip the voting machines.
We saw state after state change colour after people who normally prefer the greater evil chose the lesser one. Even Texas turned blue, despite scientists insisting this was physically impossible. It was supposed to be one of the three laws of the universe. You can’t go faster than light, Trump can’t be trusted around school girls, and Texas can’t turn blue.
For the longest time everyone just accepted this is how reality works. Now the Democrats have taken every office in Texas: Senator, Governor, Lt Governor, Attorney General, Land Commissioner, Comptroller of Public Accounts, Agriculture Commissioner, Railroad Commissioner, and all four Supreme Court Justices.
I can’t bear how embarrassing this must be for Elon Musk who tried desperately to buy Texas for $212 million. Turns out this was the biggest waste of money since he spent $40 billion to rename Twitter, only for everyone to keep calling it Twitter. Imagine being the world’s richest man, owning the most powerful propaganda tool in history, and still no one listens to you.
At least it’s all bad news today. Israel has disputed the claim that Iran achieved regime change in the US, after it successfully installed AIPAC Shakur as House Speaker. If anyone can let Democrat voters down as badly as President Biden, it’s Hakeem Jeffries.
The first black House Speaker in US history has already announced his determination to be the worst black House Speaker. Americans are terrified this might inspire Kamala Harris to do another presidential run.

Dear dozens of new economic populist members of Congress,
You’ll face fast pressure to deliver economic results. How to do it? Subpoena CEOs. A shocking amount of time, they'll change what they are doing long before you pass a bill or actually cut off their federal funding. So:
- Subpoena Google for cramming AI down our kids throats. Threaten to amend the FAR to prohibit contracting across the U.S. government with any company forcing kids to use AI.
- Subpoena the private equity managers enshittifying hospitals, dialysis centers, your local vet, your local primary care provider. Name individuals, not just companies. Shame them. Show the public (and public pension funds) how they make their money.
- Subpoena health insurers who use AI to auto-deny valid claims, triage mental health emergencies, or upcode diagnoses. Make them stop that.
- Subpoena the airlines for systematically denying cash refunds to travelers. (“Here’s a voucher instead!”) Show your hand – threaten the subpoena now, before Thanksgiving.
- Subpoena Brazilian meatpacker JBS for literally anything. For child labor, for getting fat and rich off of cattlemen, for making their workers work so fast their hands curl into claws, for persistent hygiene allegations.
- Subpoena corporate landlords. Show the public how they get rich off of hidden fees and not fixing their apartments.
- Subpoena any company that has been slow to issue tariff refunds to small business owners. I bet they’ll get their checks a lot quicker!
Will it work? See what happened when Instacart was exposed as secretly marking up your grocery cart... Yes, it can work.
P.S. If anyone tells you “No, you can’t do that” or “No, there’s a process for that,” ignore them. You know what time it is.

Incidence of new-onset pulmonary fibrosis 4.5 years post SARS-CoV-2 infection in an academic urban medical center
🚨New 4.5-year study: COVID nearly doubles the risk of new pulmonary fibrosis, even in people who never went to hospital. AGAIN, the lung damage doesn’t end when the virus does.
➡️Large retrospective USA matched cohort study(March 2020–August 2024) examined new-onset pulmonary fibrosis (PF) up to 4.5 years after SARSCoV2 infection,
➡️COVID-positive patients (no prior PF) were propensity-score matched 1:2 to COVID-negative controls and analysed using Fine-Gray models for competing risks,
➡️Both groups showed roughly doubled risk of new-onset PF versus controls:
- Hospitalized patients sHR 2.05 (95% CI 1.69–2.49),
- Non-hospitalized patients sHR 2.33 (95% CI 1.88–2.88),
➡️Cumulative incidence remained elevated out to 54 months,
➡️Among those who developed PF:
- Prior COVID hospitalization strongly raised odds of pneumonia (OR 4.84), respiratory failure (OR 3.76), asthma/COPD exacerbations, and pulmonary hypertension,
- Non-hospitalized COVID patients also showed elevated pneumonia, asthma exacerbation, and pulmonary embolism risk,
➡️Sensitivity analyses (cause-specific Cox, inverse-probability weighting, pre-pandemic controls) supported the main findings,
➡️No clear sociodemographic disparities were observed,
➡️The discussion notes that vaccination could theoretically reduce infection rates or severity and thereby lower fibrotic risk, but this remains an untested hypothesis within the paper itself,
➡️Well noted and specified limitations.
‼️So, even mild, non-hospitalized SARSCoV2 infection roughly doubles the long-term risk of clinically coded new-onset pulmonary fibrosis and its cascading respiratory complications for up to 4.5 years.
‼️This is one of the longest large-scale EHR studies linking SARSCoV2 to new-onset PF in both hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients. It elevates post-COVID fibrotic lung disease from a theoretical concern to a measurable, multi-year population risk that can drive repeated pneumonia, respiratory failure, exacerbations, and vascular complications. The findings argue for sustained respiratory surveillance, earlier risk stratification, and proactive management, particularly in diverse urban populations with high baseline respiratory burden, rather than treating infection as a purely acute event. #ProactiveScreening

When someone says, “I don't know how to help,” remind them that there is something simple yet powerful they can do.
Share our posts. Leave a dot in the comments. Make our voices heard.
Every share, every comment, and every act of solidarity matters. The algorithm of genocide and oppression can be challenged through collective resistance, public exposure, and continued condemnation of the Israeli terrorist regime.
Do not underestimate the power of your voice. Silence helps injustice. Speaking out is an act of resistance.
Stand with Gaza. Keep sharing. Never stop speaking out.
"That photograph is not a computer trick"
it's AI, so yes, it's a computer trick
why post w/AI slop when the original photo is available & better?
