@mathew @laurahelmuth @kandersonus You wrote that his films are "intended to come across as factual." Which clearly refers to something that is not factual. As for sealioning, prompting you (just *once* ) to point out specific falsehoods in the video does not equate to "relentless requests for evidence" as your Wikipedia article has it.

@mathew @laurahelmuth @kandersonus Of course something can be factual and yet presented in a slanted way, it happens all the time. Anyway, the video *factually* shows Hotez making a whole series of wild statements that were not supported by the science at the time he was making them; I think he is a poor choice for Scientific American to put forth to defend against "antiscience".

@mathew @laurahelmuth @kandersonus Mr Sealion??? So instead of backing up your assertion that the video is not factual you deflect to "I’m not going to get into an antivax debate".

@mathew @laurahelmuth @kandersonus Obviously Matt uses humor to make serious points. And he is *not* right wing, he was a strong Bernie Sanders supporter and employed by the campaign. Bernie was the most left-wing Democratic primary candidate in many years. I am a socialist who spent many, many hours volunteering for both of Bernie's presidential runs. So chances are it is *you* who is the right-winger here. As for this video, it *is* 100% factual! If you disagree, please be specific.

Uh-oh, I better start looking for an new server to join!

@laurahelmuth Maybe Hotez shouldn't be your poster boy for science!

@freedomofpress Looks like another atrocity committed by #MerrickGarland

The FBI raided Florida journalist Tim Burke's home newsroom over his online newsgathering in May, but no one has explained how he broke the law. We led 50+ orgs to demand transparency so other journalists don’t need to worry that their internet research may bring the feds to their door if they do their jobs a little too well. https://freedom.press/news/rights-orgs-broadcasters-demand-info-on-fbi-raid-of-journalists-home/

@Adam_Cadmon1 Stolen land, stolen people, stolen labor, stolen revolution, stolen wealth, clear as day, with receipts, and still, I hear people talking about Haiti as if it has a self-esteem crisis. It's in a hole dug by theft that can only be filled by reparations.

Dr. Lex Takkenberg argues that we need to move beyond Oslo’s paradigm of partition and separation and to instead adopt a new-old vision for a single democratic state.

@Gjallarhornet >this mine will stretch to nearly 6,000 acres and dig an open pit to a depth of 400 feet. The project requires tailings piles and processing facilities, including a sulfur plant. The sulfur is, itself, a waste byproduct from oil refineries and it will be trucked in by the tons and burned every day at the mine site. The project will also use more than 1.7 billion gallons of water per year in the driest state in America.

Today, demonstrators in San Pablo, California took action against a proposed 43 million dollar police militarization facility.

Across the spectrum, politicians aim to weather the ecological and economic crises ahead of us by using brute force to control the desperate and displaced, pouring public resources into militarizing the police. The fight to #StopCopCity in Atlanta is part of a worldwide struggle over our future.
