Between last fall and today, there have been over 3 million out-patient visits, over 300,000 hospitalizations and over 30,000 deaths from COVID. This data comes from a presentation at the the June ACIP meeting extrapolated forward. Now there will likely be more as RFK Jr. consolidates his power. 4/

He didn't just invoke MLK's "arc of the moral universe" line. He added that the arc won't bend itself and people need to step up to make that change happen. Absolutely right. Pitch perfect.

Also, as @danahoule.bsky.social points out, one clear theme of ICE's little reign of terror is that they are EXTREMELY sensitive to murals, signs, and other displays criticizing ICE. Which means that one of the most effective ways to attack the agency is to produce those things in great numbers

The weirdest thing about Trump deploying the National Guard to the Nation's Capital is that he still hasn't released the Epstein files despite campaigning on that pledge, probably because he's directly complicit in a massive sex trafficking operation that targeted children.

If you're watching Trump's press conference, a good way to make sure you fully comprehend his message is whenever he says "homeless," "criminals," "scum," "filth," "savagery," "gang," and/or "illegal," substitute in the word "black."
