Fair point!
This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.
Have you listened to Dexter Patterson’s Bird Joy podcast?
This whole thread is just appalling. The hearing arises from the Trump admin conspiring with a foreign country to violate a federal court order in the middle of the night so it can deny due process to children who escaped dangerous circumstances.
One thing Sensible Centrists refuse to acknowledge - and this was true during covid when people were also saying this stuff explicitly - is these people are eugnenicists who welcome a good plague to get rid of the old, botched, and bungled
The average American simply has no idea how quickly the infrastructure that keeps us safe and healthy is collapsing. These systems run in the background thanks to government employees who quietly do critical work. Those employees are being purged and systems are being destroyed.
That’s a suspiciously blurry photo.
In a significant policy shift following the firing and departure of over 100 immigration judges, the Department of Justice announced Wednesday that temporary immigration judges will no longer need to have experience in immigration law. abcnews.go.com/US/replenish...
This is a breaking news story.
Reading has always been an act of resistance ✊✊✊
We found hundreds of examples of federal agencies & institutions purging their websites of anything Black, including: -Profiles of Black military heroes (Army) -Documents on the Tulsa Race Massacre (National Archives) -Resources for educators for teaching slavery (NMAAHC)

These are the “Career criminals” Trump is talking about. Sickening.

Vice President JD Vance casually revealed Thursday that the White House “hopes” that cities across the country will follow the capital’s lead—that is to say, hand over the reins of their local law enforcement and welcome the National Guard into their city limits. trib.al/XC5ZXTw
The Supreme Court just greenlit Donald Trump gutting nearly $800 MILLION for medical treatments and cures. Congress approved this funding for a reason: it saves lives. This is disgraceful, and families will suffer.
We've officially reached the "show me your papers" phase of Trump's fascist takeover.
I am so heartbroken for you having to make this decision. I hope that your health improves and you have better days ahead. Squirrelwood will live on in all of our hearts.
Watch this. Apparently, police followed Rep Collier into the bathroom and threatened her with a FELONY for being on a press call with Senator Corey Booker and Governor Newsom.
What this means in practice is that 14K trans people will have to quit their federal employee jobs and find jobs that cover gender affirming care. In other words, this is a purge of trans people from the civil service. Lavender scare. Everyone who participates is responsible
Watching the democrats abandon their Black female colleague in this moment is a reflection of what it is to be a Black woman working in liberal spaces.
Once again he is laying out the plan. He has been saying something like this for years. So what is the counter/opposition plan ? Even better what is the other sides plan. Any plan at all ?

while smiling! Gavin Newsom literally dressed up in his best Bad Boy™️ attire, invited the press, and smiled as he destroyed everything these constituents had in the world. Gavin Newsom is not a bad candidate; Gavin Newsom is truly, at his core, a bad and despicable human being.
Late last night I mapped crime rates for cities in OH, SC and WV to show how often they exceeded the rate in DC — where those states’ governors are sending National Guard troops to “combat crime.” www.pbump.net/o/more-peopl...
Listen, you can’t break the Trump cult, but they are the minority. We need a sustained presence of Democrats in rural spaces to talk to their neighbors and run for office. Seats go uncontested for decades. Hate gerrymandering? Get Democrats on every ballot and every race. We have to run to win.
Guess the penalty: 1️⃣ Spear a cop with an American flag at the Capitol 2️⃣ Toss a sandwich to a cop One gets a pardon, the other a felony. Which is which? Answer carefully—America’s justice system is grading your test. 🍔🇺🇸 #EqualJustice

If you’re wondering how you can help DC residents right now, donate to Remora House if you can afford to do so. They’ve been on the ground supporting and advocating for unhoused people in DC for several years, and your donation goes directly to supporting the people affected by these sweeps.

NEW — Video taken by a witness and shared with me tonight from DC’s Trinidad neighborhood shows FBI and Secret Service agents patrolling by foot and peering into cars with flashlights. (Per witness, residents made fun of agents, saying they can't get women and that's why they were doing this lol)
So….. does that argument also apply to Luigi!?! 🤷🏽♀️
10 journalists were put in cuffs and/or violently assaulted by LAPD on Friday night. @willbunch.bsky.social wrote his Sunday @inquirer.com column about what this means for press freedom nationally. My description: “Utter lawlessness by the LAPD... they seemed thirsty to crack skulls.” Gift link:

Fun Fact: Donald Trump has been President for 1.8% of the United States' whole existence.
The MAGA terrorist, inspired by vaccine disinformation— from Fox, from RFK Jr, from billionaire-funded media like Epoch Times— sought out CDC.

I’d say staffing losses across the federal land management agencies (NPS, BLM, BIA, FWS, USFS), have hampered the interagency capacity to respond— not just at the Forest Service.
Yeah this would probably radicalize me in ways I dont want to fully contemplate if I was in this man's position
This is a great, thorough overview of the changes made to taxes on seniors reviewing SSA benefits in the Billionaire Bailout Bill.

WHAT!?!? Noooo!! I had the same reaction when I discovered that Netflix is no longer streaming Wentworth. 😭😭😭🤬🤬🤬
Worth mentioning that the Trump administration was in violation of the Hatch Act about a week and a half into his first term. And they violated it repeatedly, almost gleefully, for the next four years.

I lucked out that my new insurance makes it cheaper than it was in PA. But it should be a crime for any of these meds to be expensive.
Glad you are feeling better!! Do they have you on a maintenance inhaler? Mine was a game changer. I never use my rescue inhalers anymore. And insurance is such a scam.
They’re threatening the refs because they don’t like their calls.

This is excellent. In three minutes she explains how democracies become dictatorships. It's happened so many times, yet in each country, most people said, 'it can't happen here'

New in PN: Goodbye, separation of church and state "Now only churches get the benefit of not paying taxes *and* get to work to influence elections. Not because Congress changed the law. Just because the executive branch threw it in a random court filing. That's not how democracy is meant to work."
has anyone noticed yet that texas is going to pass anti-trans and anti-abortion bills as a part of their flood response
This is awesome!
Such a disaster in a information landscape ravaged by the right in the service of fascism
The Trump admin sent an Irish tourist in ICE custody to a federal prison that was leasing beds to ICE, where he says "we were treated less than human." Staff at the prison would throw his medicine on the ground rather than deliver it to him in person.
📢 SIX HOURS TO DEPORTATION TO A RANDOM ASS COUNTRY‼️
4 U.S. citizen children, with their mother, held in a detention facility for 2 WEEKS. Denied access to lawyers and even communication with family. Disappeared. Held Incommunicado. No charges have been filed.
They fired the people answering calls for help. Hundreds of them. During the crisis.

THIS IS A TRASH POLICY
Report from someone at federal immigration court (26 Federal Plaza) in NYC: “I’ve seen at least two detainments today where they [ICE agents] haven’t even let them [asylum-seekers] go to their hearings first.”
Looking fly!
Today, it's about "immigration enforcement". Tomorrow though...? Reasonable questions include: What safeguards are in place for the protection of this electronic data? What info will be shared without a warrant to other enforcement agencies? What plans for divestment exist?
"Individuals with brown skin are approached or pulled aside by unidentified federal agents, suddenly and with a show of force, and made to answer questions about who they are and where they are from." This is analogous to life in a sundown town.
That sweet face is 18-year-old Saniyah Cheatham. She died in a Bronx police precinct Saturday. Police have told multiple stories about what happened after she was arrested for fighting with her girlfriend. The family and community rallied outside the precinct today.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
But “we’re broke”, right? We can’t afford health care, housing, education, etc right? A budget is a moral document. 🇺🇸
