This is a staggering statistic: "Police use of force is the sixth-leading cause of death in the U.S. for men age 25 to 29." journalistsresource.org/studies/govern…
The story: study authors say police violence is so widespread that it's a "public health issue" with “profound consequences for public health, democracy, and racial stratification.” washingtonpost.com/business/2019/…
"1 in 1,000 black men and boys will be killed by police" over the course of their lifetimes, the study found. 1.6 percent of all deaths of black men age 20 to 24 were caused by police. washingtonpost.com/business/2019/…
"Since 2015, police have shot and killed an average of 3 people per day." One note about the Post's tally is that it doesn't include people police kill by other means, like choke holds or tazers

It's gonna be flabbergasting to people living 100 years from now when they look back on our era and realize that we could have done something, but we didn't because it would have cost a few points of GDP

As a rural American I would be delighted if 30-50 feral hogs ran on to my lawn
when the feral hogs show up
[My yard]

Me: [chanting] hogs, hogs-

My kids: hogs, HOGS-

30-50 feral hogs: [trampling through the underbrush] HOGS, HOGS, HOGS!

Easy to overlook this detail in the NYT story about the demise of the Warroad Pioneer: when they actually had a piece of big, important local news, they softpedalled it so as not to ruffle feathers in town. nytimes.com/2019/08/01/us/…
"If you want to read the details of what happened, you can read it in the [big regional outlet several hours away]." That's a shocking statement for any editor to make about a story in their own town.
People talk about the importance of local papers in providing watchdog and accountability journalism, but a lot of these small local outlets gave up on that years ago.

The following excerpt was taken from an outline of a Government Project: The Wildlands Project.

...Humanity must drastically scale down its industrial activities on Earth, change its consumption lifestyles,
stabilize and then reduce the size of the human population by humane means, and protect and restore wild ecosystems and the remaining wildlife on the planet."

The Wildlands Project
The Tartars had the idea of infecting the enemy by catapulting bodies infected with bubonic plague over the walls of the city of Kaffa.

Some historians believe that this event was the cause of the epidemic of plague that swept across medieval Europe killing 25 million.

*deep breath* So let's talk about mental health.

Warning: long thread
Also: real academic research ahead
An estimated 50% of Americans are diagnosed with mental illness or disorder, such as depression, at some point in their lifetime (CDC). 1 in 25 live with a serious mental illness (CDC).
(cdc.gov/mentalhealth/d…)
Suicide rates have increased in nearly every state since 1999 (CDC). It is the 2nd leading cause of death among people aged 15-34 (CDC).

So clearly, mental health concerns in America are real. But is mental illness to *blame* for gun violence?

I think we need to have a conversation about the complete moral & intellectual collapse of the liberal bourgeoisie. This brings me no joy because these are (were) my people. But the @atlantic, @HuffPost, @voxdotcom, @NYTimes, @washingtonpost, & @guardian routinely publish... 1/
...complete & total lies on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry. It's not even close. There is no fact checking, no interviews with the other side, no attempt to figure out the truth. These are straight press releases from the pharmaceutical industry. Nearly every day. 2/
The pharmaceutical industry tells them to generate a moral panic in connection with a non-fatal rash and to ignore the 100,000 autism cases a year in the U.S. and ALL of these major progressive publications say, 'yessiree boss, whatever you want!' The ZEAL with which these... 3/

While I’m waiting for my plane from Orlando to Detroit, I am seriously thinking about live-tweeting the movie Star Wars from memory.
If anyone knows any reason why this should not happen, speak now or #force yourself to enjoy it
Having heard no legitimate objections, let’s begin.

Disclaimer: I haven’t seen Star Wars in a few years. These are my memories and impressions, which are 100% valid and factually correct so don’t AT-AT me. Star Wars joke
1) A BLAST of horns as the yellow Star Wars logo flings itself into deep space. I’m 7 years old and I’m already freeeeaking out

Studies show that medical errors may be the 3rd leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer. We must learn from each mistake to prevent future ones. But Vanderbilt Hospital’s attempt to cover up and lie about a fatal medication error for over a year is unconscionable.
Federal investigators found out a nurse gave a female patient vecuronium, a powerful drug that paralyzes your muscles, instead of versed, a sedative. Unable to move, breathe, or call for help, the patient suffocated to death in agony. Nobody even monitored her as it was required.
Mistakes do happen. But lying about it and covering it up is a code of silence that hurts patients and undermines public trust in doctors. Vanderbilt never documented the medication error and then several doctors lied to the medical examiner about what caused the patient’s death.

1. The sleeping giant is slowly awakening to the corruption that is enslaving us all.

Once this giant has fully awoken we shall be unstoppable.

Public awakening is their greatest fear.

#QAnon @POTUS @realDonaldTrump
2. It’s essential that #WeThePeople understand how #Corruption in the pharmaceutical industry has a stronghold on people.

#QAnon @POTUS @realDonaldTrump
3. This long & detailed thread will shine light on corruption in the vaccine and cancer industry.

These are complicated & touchy parts of the #DeepState rabbithole for obvious reasons but facing the #Truth is very important.

The truth shall set everyone #free.
