In rare cases, the COVID-19 vaccine has been linked to inflammation of the heart known as myocarditis, but studies have largely confirmed that the overall myocarditis risk is significantly higher after an actual COVID-19 infection.
Two cardiologist explain:

It feels like one can never discuss the disastrous, murderous, unjustifiable invasion of Iraq without some conservative chiming in "but George W. Bush helped with AIDS treatments in Africa!"
Okay. Cool. And he still took reckless, discretionary actions that led to untold deaths, the further destabilization of a region, and the rise of the security state in the US. To say nothing of his undermining of democracy both in the US and abroad.
The former doesn't erase the latter.
Johanna Saunders writes:
"1930s Germany was all about rhetoric, ideology, othering, removal of rights, intimidation, propaganda and finger pointing which focussed on minorities/disabled /religion/sexual orientation etc.
War itself (1939) and the horror that followed (Wannsee / Holocaust 1942 etc) came later.
it’s about preventing future Holocausts from happening, and if the language you use is reminiscent to language used before the Holocaust, then it’s a moral duty to point it out."
Overnight, prosecutors in special counsel Jack Smith's office made a prima facie showing that the former president had committed exceptional criminal violations
This could remove Trump’s attorney-client privileges. Evan Corcoran will be compelled to testify before a grand jury. That’s big.
I don’t care about the Stormy Daniels case. I care about the insurrection, undermining election integrity, selling state secrets, negligent homicide

Is today the day?
I almost forgot it was Wednesday! I need to do a #WaterFallWednesday post. I am really looking forward to the spring so I can capture some new waterfall images with some new Spring growth!
This image was taken at Buttermilk Falls in Lehigh Gorge State Park near Jim Thorpe, PA.

A crazy man, almost crying, pointed at me and shouted, “Our fearless leader is being arrested!! What are you laughing at?” I said, “Fuck your feelings, snowflake…” and walked away…

This is it, Mastoknitters! The adventure is almost over - just five more rows of chevron border, then a final row in contrast color (a wonderful mottled green), then bind off....
And then weave in ends. And block. And final shots/notes to Ravelry project page. I'm so excited! I really threw myself into this one. It has been a great knit, wonderful pacing, and I learned a lot. Now for those four other WIPs!

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
