It's worrying that some of Biden’s aides questioned his competency, but it’s terrifying that none of Trump’s ever have.

Some interesting data points: @madycast.com reports that some orgs like RAINN and the National Network to End Domestic Violence that have removed LGBTQ-focused resources in response to Trump executive orders have lost grants anyway, while at least one org that restored those resources hasn't lost $

In Virginia alone, Republicans’ proposed cuts to the ACA and Medicaid would strip 262,440 Virginians of their health insurance coverage… in order to fund a MASSIVE tax giveaway for billionaires.

Let’s be clear: Republicans just torpedoed their own budget bill because they don’t think the cuts to Medicaid are big enough.

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

“No parent, wracked with anxiety over the health of their child, deserves to be misled by someone in a position of such authority—misled to the point of harming their child instead of helping them. No child deserves to die of a disease so preventable it was nearly eradicated years ago.”

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey. They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

I'll just take this moment to point out that the US Institute of Peace, just a few weeks ago, contained one of the finest concentrations of US expertise on India and Pakistan, and crisis management in South Asia.

Casar: "I've knocked on 1000s of doors and not a single time has someone said, 'Thank God you're here. I want to ask about trans people fencing'..what the hell are we doing?

Three justices on the North Carolina Supreme Court who tried to steal this election for Griffin are up for election in 2028: Paul Newby, Phil Berger Jr., and Tamara P. Barringer. When Election Day comes around, I hope the state's voters remember what these lawless partisans tried to do here.

Language & transparency are more important than ever right now. There’s no such thing as “mild” covid. There’s no such thing as “soft” eugenics. You can’t “deport” citizens. Fascism isn’t theoretical. It’s here. It’s growing. And it’s putting us all in danger.

No paywallThe story starts with teachers pleading for empathy for 3 immigrant students. It ends with a border patrol agent pleading for empathy for 3 other students at the school — his own. Might be a theme here. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Can't help but think about how twenty five years ago some dude failed at making a shoe bomb and now we have to deal with airport security theater forever but five years ago there was a global pandemic that killed millions that is still active and now masks are banned, and how the difference is $$
