RFK Jr. just fired EVERY member of the CDC’s immunization advisory committee – the experts who make sure vaccine guidance is safe and effective. This is an outrageous decision that endangers public health.

The New York Times headline writers now call groups like the AMA and the College of Physicians and Surgeons "pro-vaccine groups." They get more preposterous with each passing day.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

“Americans in LA and beyond are correctly seeing the cynical rhetoric of counterterrorism – used by Trump because it worked for Bush and his successors – as bullshit meant to justify fascism.” ⁦For Zeteo, ⁦‪Spencer Ackerman‬⁩ is brilliant and correct about the “imperial boomerang’ landing in LA:

The Trump administration's ongoing actions in LA are authoritarian measures intended to villify dissent. This isn't about safety, it's about control.

Sending 700 Marines to LA is an unacceptable militarization of our streets and a poor use of our troops’ time. Using the military to intimidate protesters violates the principles this country stands for. This overreach must stop before it causes irreversible harm.

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous. prospect.org/justice/crie...

Cutting research at the National Science Foundation by more than half(!) is intentionally sabotaging the future. These are contracts the federal government competitively awards to universities to develop breakthroughs and train graduate students to become future leaders & experts. Future is at risk.

Yeah I 100% believe that if our taxes went to paying people to clean or maintain at a dignified rate commensurate with what police make shit would be spick and span and also people would be safer overall because people being present and attending to things automatically makes spaces safer.

I strongly second Krugman's "letter to Europe." The EU should tell Trump to take his tariff and shove it. Hitting U.S. consumers with a huge tax increase is not smart policy, but as a reality TV show star, what does Trump know about economics? paulkrugman.substack.com/p/a-letter-t...
