Michelle Obama: Eat an apple! Eat some vegetables! Get some exercise! RFK Jr: Autistic people sit in the corner drooling because of vaccines! Let's ban all vaccines, bring measles back and have the survival of the fittest! American Media: Michelle Obama and RFK Jr. had the exact same agenda!
One other note about this thread. We do need to expand our party and that means welcoming Republicans who have been authentically and consistently opposed to Trump, like David Jolly or Geoff Duncan. But sudden converts with no such history must be met with skepticism and scrutiny.
Video shows white teens punching him while yelling racial slurs like “F*** that n up” and “kill that n.”At one point, they shoved him against a meat grinder, then slammed him to the ground and kept beating him. This is not “kids being kids.” This is racial violence in 2025, in Wisconsin. 2/4

"Don't resist that way" continues to be one of the most frustrating lines in online spaces. Especially when it's often how overwhelming and consistent resistance is that creates change. (Not referring to liberal resistance which has no ideological foundation outside of "I should be at brunch")
Agreed. The instant defensiveness and “but I have a black husband” whining are huge red flags. Even if she somehow didn’t realize the loaded history of “boys”, she could have said “so sorry. I wasn’t aware and thank you for letting me know”. Instead, it was deploy white lady tears!
That is my worry. I also believe, however, that we’ll end up there eventually anyway. Would his death accelerate things? Would that acceleration cause more of a backlash than the slow march to Project 2025’s full implementation? I don’t know. How in control is he now?

So, when the trials and subsequent punishments for these fascists begins, we will all remember the roll Drew Ensign played, correct? You don’t get to enable fascists and the terrorizing of children and avoid the gallows.
So, Drew Ensign will be one of the first in line for the trials, yes? He’s working double time for the fascists trying to illegally “deport” (traffic) children. At least one of the first 5 to be tried, surely.
I’ll take what I can get for now.

“in six months sec. kennedy has undermined 60 years of vaccine preventable diseases in this country.” dr. tom frieden frmr dir of CDC let that sink in-the damage this regime has inflicted on us.
Seeing that plane load of minors being secretly shipped off to Guatemala reminded me of the calls I got during the last Trump administration from friends who worked at O'Hare Airport. Busloads of small children being dispersed all over the country. Always under cover of darkness. Who are we?
Deporting 600 unaccompanied children - Where were they kept? Who authorized this? Did Guatemala even know this was happening? Trump and #ICE #NAZIS have Zero Morality, and absolutely would abuse children #WTFAmerica www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

The Trump regime has pulled the US out of the UN Human Rights Universal Process Review. This is chilling. This review happens every 4-5 years for each country in the UN. No country has ever pulled out of the review. Until now. I remember the last time the US had its UPR... 🧵
For months, Trump and his thugs claimed they had no knowledge of Kilmar Abrego Garcia once they shipped him to El Salvador. But now claim they have located parents or guardians in Guatemala for the hundreds of children they are trying to deport. Rather miraculous. #DeportationBlock
They’re evil. Truly evil.
Deny him and his entire family line goods and services. Ignore them when the speak and never show them kindness Make them pariahs in society so they all know fascism won’t be tolerated
I would read a whole series of reports like this on each individual federal goon. They all deserve a profile.

Make no mistake, everything that’s happening in the United States is being significantly enabled by the right wing oligarch capture of media. Every other country needs to do everything possible to keep that from happening where they are. Including protecting the CBC from Poilievre here in Canada.

NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:
A good question to ask oneself politically is 'what do I need to ignore in order to maintain my commitment to x, y, and z?' Because if you, for example, need to ignore a whole group of people's humanity in order to vote for a horrible politician, then it may be too costly to your soul.
Would be cool if this demographic didn’t consistently vote GOP and Trump in particular. 🤷♀️
Ah, I see it didn’t take Raddatz long to cower under and shill for fascism. I mean, really? We think deploying the Nat’l Guard into American cities is a viable, sustainable, democratic solution to this supposed rampant crime? 🙄

Philadelphia’s District Attorney Larry Krasner has suggested an effective playbook— We should arrest rogue ICE agents at the state level, which would shield them from a presidential pardon. This is the kind of hardline approach we need from our Democratic leaders.

Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics. RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.
Trump says museums focus too much on the “negative aspects” of American history, like “how bad slavery was.” And plans to purge cultural institutions. But be clear: he’s not talking about alternately uplifting Black inventors, builders, and leaders we were never taught about…
Fuck these people, truly.
“White clique”? You mean group of white suprematists?

The maddening thing is that we know EXACTLY how to prevent this. Yes, kids should get vaccinated, test, stay home when sick, mask as much as possible. But even without any of that: Better ventilation and filtration in schools can MASSIVELY reduce viral spread, for all sorts of respiratory diseases.
