🧵 The argument for disbanding the Democratic Party and banning it from politics based on its historical record could be framed around several key points, rooted in its long and complex past.
The party, founded in the early 19th century, has a history that includes significant instances of corruption, racism, and civil rights abuses, particularly in its early years, which some might argue taints its legacy irredeemably.
First, the Democratic Party’s pre-Civil War stance was explicitly pro-slavery. It was the party of the Southern slaveholding class, defending the institution of slavery as a cornerstone of economic and social order.
The judgment in Sandie Peggie vs NHS Fife and Dr Upton has been published.
We are pleased that Sandie Peggie has won her claim of harassment against NHS Fife, and that the hospital trust was criticised for its terrible handling of the complaint against her.

We are disappointed the tribunal sought to reach a spurious “balance” between a woman’s right to undress with privacy & dignity, and the right of an employee w the PC of gender reassignment not to be discriminated against in employment.
The most misunderstood hormone on Earth:
Cortisol.
They let us believe it's just a stress hormone.
But didn't tell us it controls where you store fat, when you build muscle, and how long you live.
Here's what you need to know (& how to save yourself)🧵

Cortisol doesn't just respond to stress.
It regulates key aspects of your metabolism.
When cortisol spikes, your body switches from "build mode" to "survive mode."
Fat burning stops. Muscle building shuts down. Inflammation skyrockets.

Here's what high cortisol does to your body:
- Redirects fat storage to your visceral fat
- Breaks down muscle tissue for glucose
- Suppresses testosterone and growth hormone
- Disrupts sleep cycles
- Increases insulin resistance

Theres a very long list of US products that cannot be sold in the EU thanks to EU regulations. Since the favorite pastime of the Trump regime and every US oligarch is now to demonize EU regulations, I thought it would be very much worth going through some of those products.🧵
US Instant Mashed Potatoes
Stuffed with enough BHA and BHT preservatives to give the product an expiration date of absolutely never, the EU decided to outright ban the product, depriving Europeans from what is otherwise a cheap and convenient way to encourage hairloss.

US Pork
Because American pigs are often fed large amounts of ractopamine, a drug that does wonders in increasing muscle growth in pigs and cancer in humans, the EU has deemed the product unsafe and banned it, seemingly without much concern for the profits of US oligarchs.

Gen. Dan Caine: Ukraine’s industrial base building tens of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of drones is extraordinary.
Those are the entrepreneurial lessons we need from that fight. It’s another case study in the importance of putting air power over a battlefield. 1/

Caine: The fixed and frozen lines in Ukraine show an opportunity to learn about protecting the force on the ground.
Having been one of those guys on the ground, I value air power that can put an adversary in a particular place of pain. We must scale our own FPV capabilities. 2/

Caine: A major lesson from Ukraine is the need for mass.
Future wars will involve unprecedented kinetic and non-kinetic exchanges.
So we’ll need a new high-low mix: a few bespoke systems, but far more low-cost, expendable ones that create many dilemmas for an adversary. 3X

About the recent severe worsening of the situation in #Siversk: events that led to this and information from the field.
Unfortunately, in the last 2 weeks, after more than 3 years of effective defense of the sector by Ukrainian units, Russian forces made significant progress in the Siversk direction and in the city itself.

The main unit commanding the city's defense is the very experienced 54th Mechanized Brigade (with battalion "K-2" drones "Sky Fury").
Because of the gradual prioritization of other directions and the de-prioritization of more dormant and/or stable ones like Siversk, the Ukrainian command has not allocated any big amount of resources to the Brigade in the last months, or even years, choosing to distribute them in more critical sectors instead. As such, because of slow attrition, manpower and other needs of the brigade were not replenished at a sufficient rate, making it slowly become severely understaffed in manpower up to today.

Taking advantage of this, recently the Russian command finally reinforced the sector with new brigades, adding them to the ones made up of terrible-quality DPR and LPR forces, which severely impeded any progress on their part in the last years, among other reasons.

Ukrainians are struggling. The Russians are piling in men irrespective of their losses.
Ukraine is running out of people. I hope they hold out longer than spring.

Q: If the US pulled back support, could Europe fill the gap?
Beever: With difficulty. It depends on whether Trump still sells weapons. Europe cannot catch up fast. Europe has almost no ammunition. The UK army would last about 10 days in a conflict.

Most people worry about belly fat they can grab.
But visceral fat is behind your abs, hidden deep in your gut.
You can’t see it, but it’s the most dangerous fat in your body.
It pumps out inflammatory chemicals 24/7 that damage your brain, hormones, and heart.

Visceral fat is linked to:
• Heart attacks
• Type 2 diabetes
• Fatty liver
• Alzheimer’s
• Erectile dysfunction
• Low testosterone
• Fatigue + anxiety
You can have it even if you look lean....
It’s called “TOFI”, thin Outside, fat Inside.

Ships without a recognized flag, “stateless vessels”, are the outlaws of the ocean. They don’t have a clear nationality, so no country claims responsibility for them.
International law already allows governments to stop, board, and enforce laws against these vessels.

🧵 THREAD: NCRI's Analysis: How Abuse of 𝕏's Platform boosted Nick Fuentes
A few days ago, @elonmusk got "ratioed" by Nick Fuentes.
The air quotes are intentional. There was nothing organic about the ratio.
This morning, Network Contagion Research Institute (@ncri_io) released a forensic breakdown of how Nick Fuentes' sudden rise over the past year was driven by synthetic amplification, foreign engagement clusters, and coordinated raid behavior.
I read the full report and asked NCRI some clarifying questions about their methodology. The findings are staggering.
As always, patience as I pull this thread together. 👇

@elonmusk @ncri_io The topline claim: Fuentes’s "influence" did not emerge entirely organically. Instead, it was manufactured by unusually fast, unusually concentrated, and unusually foreign engagement patterns, the kind normally associated with coordinated manipulation networks.
