This might seem ridiculous because it was obviously a tough - but correct - call to avoid exposing schools and everyone connected to a novel, unknown, airborne virus that was killing swaths of people worldwide. But when schools were closed in 2020 it was under guidance from THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

Two potentially fraudulent claims out of 110,000. Not 40% as they claimed. Not 4%. Not 0.4% or even 0.04%. TWO.

They're firing black people from the federal government. That's it. There's no nuance to this. It's just racism straight up.

This is what Worcester police do to a sixteen-year-old for screaming in fear and throwing herself at a car carrying her mother, who has been kidnapped by armed men who refuse to identify themselves.

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

She's a Black woman librarian, and he's a racist who is on a crusade against knowledge itself. It's not surprising, but damn it'd be nice if more people in Congress had spines.

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people. Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

These are not isolated incidents. We're seeing widespread unconstitutional actions by often masked, plainclothes law enforcement, nationwide. From arrests like these to the reported checkpoints near the Canadian border. I don't think we've grasped the level of infrastructure behind all of this.

The US spends 18% of GDP on healthcare, 2x time more than peer nations, while suffering far worse outcomes and inequalities. What's killing us is not lack of resources but the normalized greed of healthcare CEOs, grifters, and their lobbies. RFK is exacerbating, not fixing, this.

These children suffered horribly before they died. And statistics like this completely exclude the many who “survived” after suffering horribly, many with permanent harms.

For onlookers: You can't taper off of HRT,that just starts the puberty that the trans kids are trying to avoid and it's absolute body horror. Removing a trans girl's estrogen treatment is basically the same experience as forcibly injecting a cis girl with testosterone. Pure cruelty.

Staking this claim now: should we be so fortunate as to get another Democratic trifecta, it should be judged a failure if it does not 1) jail the people responsible for this, 2) abolish or in some other way dismantle and disarm ICE
