• This might be the most futuristic thing you’ll see today: Artificial skylights that use LED panels + nanotechnology to create hyper-realistic blue skies and sunlight in completely windowless rooms. You can even switch from bright midday sun to warm sunset glow with a remote. We’re now simulating the sky indoors because real windows are apparently too much to ask for in dense cities. This is either peak innovation…or lowkey dystopian. You decide.
• Look at Europe’s rape rates: The highest are all in the West and North. The lowest? All in Eastern Europe. The ugly reality: Mass immigration from high-risk cultures drove the real explosion in the West. Eastern Europe kept cultural homogeneity, strong borders, and traditional norms, delivering genuinely lower rape rates. The data clearly favors the East for women’s safety. (table) 

•  @MattZirwas

• Dermatology is wrong about the sun. And it's killing people. I'm a dermatologist. 226 publications. I should know. Avoiding the sun increases the risk of dying as much as being a smoker. We can fix it. For decades, dermatology's message has been simple: avoid the sun. Wear sunscreen. Seek shade. UV causes skin cancer. End of discussion. That message is incomplete and outdated. People are dying because of it. Lots of people. The evidence has gotten strong enough that the field needs to update it.

• @TheSCIF

• John Podesta was put in charge of a $375 BILLION dollar slush fund disguised to help the "environment," which was giving millions of dollars to NGOs that were founded only months earlier. These NGOs were allegedly laundering money and funding the far-left's radical agendas and color revolution against conservatives and the United States itself. John Podesta, who was in charge of the money, was exposed with his brother Tony in the Clinton-Podesta emails attending spirit cooking dinners with open satanist Marina Abramović, which involved performing satanic rituals with blood, semen, and fresh breast milk, with dark incantations to the demonic realm. These were the people ruling over you. Your own taxpayer dollars were being used by open Satanist to fund agendas and color revolutions against you. America has a MASSIVE problem. It really is good vs. evil. (video)

• @iluminatibot

• Epstein Files show the FBI, under Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, internally discussed “clear and specific guidance” to redact images of former U.S. presidents, a secretary of state, and other celebrities.

• @ShadowofEzra

• Sam Altman admits he wants to build a world where OpenAI transitions into an “infrastructure provider,” a “mega-scale token factory.” In this model, it decides what information people see, how decisions are made, and which businesses are allowed to succeed or fail. Altman says intelligence will become a utility like electricity or water, with people forced to buy it from them on a metered basis. "I think that could be quite powerful." (video)

• @sxdoc

• Congressman Burchett: “human trafficking”. Is sanitized. THEY ARE SELLING THESE KIDS TO BE RAPED! They are demonic and must be stopped! They deserve to be hanged. Bring them on down to the farm! “. We must start taking this seriously! @GenFlynn Maybe the reason we don’t take it as seriously as we should is because many serve in government in some capacity (all bodies, all branches, all agencies, activities, and departments). Our nation, the United States of America, is NUMBER 1 (#1) in the entire world for child sex and slave trafficking. We have exceeded a moral decline and societally we are in the pits of hell. Help yourselves by climbing out and standing up for children. Otherwise, God help us and God help you. (video)

• @Liz_churchill10 

• Ghislaine Maxwell was found guilty of child trafficking 1,586 days ago. None of her clients have been arrested...

• @AmberWoods100

• There’s an Epstein survivor almost no one talks about. Her name was Carolyn Andriano. A mother of five. She testified in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial using her real name—then died in a hotel room just two years later of an alleged drug overdose. Not everyone survived longer than a few years. (pic)

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Trump’s ride-or-die Press Secretary, Bible-believing, no-compromise conservative Governor of Arkansas, just officially proclaimed April 2026 as Arab American Heritage Month in the state. Yes, really. Full proclamation. Gold seal. The works. The woman who triggers every blue-check in America just went full “diversity month” mode for Arab Americans.
