02.09.1924 | Today we celebrate the life of Regina Zielinski. She is 1 of only 58 known survivors of Sobibor death camp. She grew up as Riwka Feldman in Siedliczcze, in eastern Poland. She survived for 10 months in Sobibor. In 1949, she emigrated to Australia, where she died in 2014. 👇🏼1/9
KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that? RFK JR: “I never said that.” KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.” RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March 2024) ht: @cwebbonline.com
The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.
I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.
Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
September 2nd is the birthday of Carlin Hawthorne. She died at 22, struck by a stray bullet when a fight broke out at an Oklahoma City event center in April 2024. Carlin was a beautiful, loving, spirited girl who loved to dance.
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."
I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries. These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
Political theater.
Surely, the decision to hold a military spectacle at that time is just coincidence.
Pritzker: When did we become a country where it's okay for the president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don't want? Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?
Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."
Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Kennedy must be removed from office. He has already caused a catastrophe at HHS and the CDC. I strongly suspect that he is about to use data manipulated by unscrupulous and unqualified individuals to attempt to falsely show that vaccines are in some way a net harm. He simply must be stopped.
More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.
Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims. Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.
Today, September 2, is the birthday of Mari Lee Scott. He died at 5 in a 2024 accidental shooting in Independence, Missouri. Mari was smart…playfully labeled “diabolically smart” by a teacher impressed by his surprising ability to figure things out.
"That is why I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it." Yes, there is a difference.

Billy should be 50. He was taken from his wife & 2 1/2-y-o daughter in the Lewiston, ME attack. Red flag laws, which legislators have tried but still failed to adopt in the wake of this event, could have saved 18 lives. #honorwithaction by enacting #sensiblegunlaws thebirthdayfairyproject.org
Tara should be 42 today. Her 2 sons are growing up w/o her. 58 people, incl Tara, were killed by an angry man who hoarded guns including 14 AR rifles w/ 100 round magazines modified to fire like military-grade automatic weapons. #HonorWithAction Demand #sensiblegunlaws thebirthdayfairyproject.org
On this day in 1910, a Czech Jewish woman was born. On the 12 May 1942 she was deported to Theresienstadt. On 25 Aug 1942 she was deported to the Malý Trostinec extermination centre where she perished. Her name was Lily Steinerová

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Not even get better, keep going I can bear it, to I am about to give up. What gets in the way is there is no easy way to give up, just continue not bearing it…
Suzanne should be 64. Her killer was deemed competent to buy an AR pistol & high cap mags despite a hx of paranoia & a violent assault conviction. He killed 10 & was deemed incompetent for trial. In 2024, he was finally sentenced to life in prison. #HonorWithAction Demand #sensiblegunlaws
Honored that Mark is now a Democracy Docket member.🙏 The force of democracy must be with us!!!🥳
This is just sad. We’ve posted about this before. Now here is what is going down. The rainbow crosswalk at the Pulse memorial in Orlando (created to honor the 49 lives lost in the 2016 shooting) has now become the target of state enforcement.

If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
Remove RFK Jr for dereliction of duties. Immediately.
It had no effect on me at all including helping my newest already 8 month old symptom after nothing else known to help others with it did. My body doesn’t like to be told what to do!
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
RADDATZ: You talk about what can be done. After shootings in Buffalo & Uvalde, Congress passed a bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It provided hundreds of millions for schools to expand mental health services. You didn't vote for it. Why? TOM EMMER: I don't remember the reasons I didn't vote for it
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
This is the way
Tricia should be 55 today. When the shooting at Just in Time Recreation broke out, she did what she always did — she tried to help others. While others ran to escape, Tricia ran for her phone, determined to dial 911.
I’ve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldn’t post so much about COVID19 vaccines because it’s “divisive”. I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular. I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.
Lorenzo should be 46 today. 6 were killed when a coworker with a history of paranoia and violent threats made a rash decision. The coworker bought a gun Tuesday morning and shot 10 people later that day. Waiting periods are just one of the #sensiblegunlaws that will save lives. #honorwithaction
Luis should be 47. Hero, confidant, inspiration, friend. Luis +48 incl his partner were killed at Pulse. The killer was flagged in the Natl Terrorist database twice. But he was still allowed to buy weapons of war in Florida. #HonorWithAction Demand #sensiblegunlaws thebirthdayfairyproject.org
Victor would be 76. He was robbed of his retirement years and quality time with his daughters and grandchildren. Victor and 7 others were killed at work by a coworker angry over being confronted about theft. #HonorWithAction thebirthdayfairyproject.org
What a ridiculous person.

Tara should be 41. She died at church, taken from her 15- & 12-year-old children who were sitting on the pew beside her. Tara and 26 others were killed by a convicted domestic abuser who was mistakenly allowed to purchase an AR15 in Texas. #HonorWithAction thebirthdayfairyproject.org
"RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy...it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism." Were he not a Kennedy...and wealthy...he'd likely be living his life out in a mental institution. Diagnosis: Dumb-Fuckery.
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.

Today, Aug 30, is the birthday of Vanessa Perez. She died at 11 in a 2023 domestic violence assault in Sequatchie TN that took the lives of her grandmother, mother, & 2 siblings. Vanessa enjoyed being a big sister to her 6-y-o sister & 2-y-o brother. She was a proud 6th grader & loved Minnie Mouse.

We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.
Ethel would be 81. She lived a life of service & love. She was killed by hate in the form of a 21-year-old white male radicalized online by alt-right propaganda. 9 people died because of failures in the background check process now termed "the Charleston loophole.". #honorwithaction and #DisarmHate
Let that sink in.

30.08.1879 | David de Wolff was born in Sneek. Via Amsterdam and Hilversum, he came to Leiden. David and his wife Rebecca were arrested on March 17, 1943, during the last razzia in Leiden. On March 23, 1943, they were deported to Sobibor. They managed to send a card to their daughter-in-law.👇🏽1/2

Cody would be 29 today. At 22 he didn't hesitate when faced w/the decision to sacrifice himself & shield 4 young women from a mass shooter at Borderline Bar. Cody & 11 others died because red flag interventions were not utilized despite multiple opportunities. #HonorWithAction #RedFlagLawsSaveLives
Learn to decipher the codespeak.
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.
The GOP and @JDVance have spent more time this week acting upset that "thoughts and prayers" are not a solution for gun violence than they have over the reality that the gun violence actually happened. It will continue to happen because "thoughts and prayers" is all they have.
Measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, polio, tetanus. Diseases that used to terrorise families, killing children & babies in their thousands. Now we have vaccines - safe & miraculous life savers. Please, parents, use them. Protect your precious children 🩷 www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
Yesterday, ICE agents detained firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire. As a firefighter and paramedic, I know firsthand that in an emergency, every second counts, and politics should never come before saving lives.
Excellent question.
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
Today’s update from Weirdo HQ.
When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.

Don’t look away
Can't believe that in 2025 we have to be telling people that vaccines are safe and slavery was bad.

Today, August 29, is the birthday of Mark Humiston. He died at 43 in a 2024 family annihilation in Fall City, Washington. An accomplished electrical engineer and lead designer with his Seattle engineering firm, Mark was first and foremost a man of faith and family.
29 August 1929 | A Polish Jew, Michel Adler, was born in Radom. He emigrated to France. In August 1942 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.
Meiselas: It seems that the outcome that Republicans want is whatever the worst possible outcome could be. More disease, more deaths, more murders, a horrible economy. And let’s literally pick the worst people for each possible position at every level.

Everyone at the CDC is getting fired or resigning. RFK Jr. wants to ban all vaccines. His idiocy will get millions of people killed.
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
"Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action." Then why is prayer, literally, *always* the substitute for action, you willfully obtuse asshole?
Thou shalt not listen to a damn thing that RFK Jr. says.
