Keeping America safe from... [checks notes]... farm workers.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. denies being anti-vax. But in repopulating a CDC advisory committee with like-minded allies, he is serving the most core goal of the anti-vaccine movement: eroding access to, and trust in, immunization, @katherinejwu.com writes.

In other news, coming at us in definitely not ludicrous speed, Spaceballs!

Me on hour 14 of dragging Republican Medicaid cuts for filth and giving them no end in sight

This idiot thinks the ISS is on the moon.

Military parades and masked federal agents belong in Russia. A very long ways from the United States Constitution. Also belongs in Russia: Donald Trump.

We don’t need in-fighting, but I am struggling…Democratic members of Congress are speaking out against what happened to Sen Padilla. We beg you to act…use your checks and balances. Your words and “civility” are not working. We need to see you fight back. To #Impeach. To #DoSomething.

Maybe arresting Senators is what it's finally gonna take for the Senate to start doing its fucking job. But I wouldn't count on it.

More proof this imbecile has never read a history book.

It’s easy history, man. Read a fucking book. Nobody trusted the Russians, even then. But they were the lesser of the two evils.

I just wanna say something really plainly that I haven’t seen spelled out like this There is no such thing as legal immigration anymore. Because they are taking people at their citizenship hearings they are taking people who are doing everything by the book. 1/2

IMPORTANT: Before the fascist attack on Senator Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem said that her gestapo in California were staying to "liberate the city socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country." Don't let that slide by.

here's today's post: "we need to talk about this vampiric shitweasel" — what’s happening in LA is this fucker’s fault. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

A little more on RFK's new vaccine committee: Malone - claimed vaccines cause AIDS Kulldorff - promoted mass COVID infection Meissner - opposed vaccines and masks for kids Pebsworth - worked at antivax nonprofit Levi - FL Surgeon General cited his paper when recommending not to get COVID vax

Odd, how MS-13 gang members are all ALL OVER California during elections, but conspicuously absent when ICE is rounding up "criminals" in that state. Instead, ICE goes to Home Depot to arrest helpful people looking for home improvement jobs. It's *almost* as if everything Trump tells us is a lie.

Senator Padilla pledged to help us answer some questions on why California’s workers are being hunted down like prey. He’s doing his best to get some answers.

Yep. 1000% And they are rendered invisible by anti Blackness in the immigration movement that mostly doesn’t center their experience (let alone reference them) in the work And Black civil rights orgs don’t have this as a plank in their work sadly And anti immigrant folks count on this.

They want to both quash dissent and provoke a response they can then respond to with martial law.

She just admitted that this is an invasion and a takeover?

This is a US senator… don’t think you wouldn’t get treated the same way or worse. FOR TALKING.

Detaining journalists for doing their jobs is unconstitutional and inexcusable. Press coverage of protests is essential — especially now in Los Angeles.

Gentle reminder that Saturday, 14 June, is #NoKingsDay Please visit www.nokings.org to find the protest nearest you. #AltCitizen

Amazing!

“I’m going to booglerize ya, baby!” Another recent score.

Finally scored a nice copy of Frijid Pink. A demo copy, no less!

“Since y’all like trickle down so much, here’s a whole new lie!”

Every prominent Democrat in the country should jump on this immediately. Enough bullshit cowering on this issue. Get on this! Trump just handed you a massive weapon. Use it!

We’re in it.

Just an authoritarian doing authoritarian things: www.military.com/daily-news/2...

The gop intends to dismantle and destroy anything that doesn’t serve to bolster their power and to make rich people richer.

Lynch: “Trump isn't focused on getting violent criminals off our streets. He's terrorizing our communitie…These are not the strong and measured actions of the leader of a free country. They are the ruthless maneuvers of an aspiring autocrat hellbent on consolidating power by any means necessary.”

On a special episode of Live Like the World is Dying, @hey-casandra.bsky.social talks to @jamesstout.bsky.social about what's going on in LA. They talk about ICE, the National Guard & Marines, what people are doing in the streets to resist, what the police are doing, & debunk misinformation.

It just seems fundamentally *wrong* to be in a world where JK Rowling is alive and Brian Wilson isn't.

Trump underwater in literally every single issue. 38% approval overall. 27% approval on his spending bill. 40% approval on deportations. Musk also at 30% approval. 38% approval for RFK Jr. 35% approval for JD Vance. Nobody fucking wants any of this. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

“Some of the powerful called their plan "accelerationism" others called it "conservatism." Those who tried to tell the world what was happening called it by different names--Christo-fascism, nationalism, rightwing extremism. The name didn't matter, the object was always the same.”
