Trump is considering abolishing FEMA and forcing states to deal with natural disasters. “I’d rather see the states take care of their own problems,” he said. I wonder how Florida, Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina & South Carolina feel about “taking care of their own problems” without federal help.

I got to explain the 14th amendment to my class today. Many didn’t know it was a reconstruction amendment. This is why one of the best things we can do is provide the history behind what leads to the madness. People truly don’t know.

The truth of January 6th can't be erased. Watch the pardoned criminals brutally attacking police inside the Capitol and see what some call 'patriotism.' No spin, just facts. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/revisiting...

Why do Florida's millions of workers keep putting up with a system the Republicans who run our state designed to fail?!? Probably because stories like these live exclusively behind paywalls.

If your spouse needs a safe word with her friends to protect herself from you, you should be in therapy. Or in prison. Not the Secretary of Defense.

Workplace raids have begun—none of these people were rapists or criminals. Even if you’re not a US citizen, you still have due process in this country. 3 workers in Newark were taken into custody by ICE w/out a warrant. One, a veteran, endured the humiliation of having his military docs questioned.

Chapter 5 “On Tyranny” @timothysnyder.bsky.social is for all to remember the obligations of professions. Doctors-Hippocratic Oath to refrain from causing harm or hurt, to prescribe only beneficial treatments. Lawyers-Oath to uphold the Constitution. Police, firemen too We need to hold them to this.

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago. In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists. Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

One more reminder about January 6, 2021 especially for Jews who support Trump. There were people in the crowd at the Capitol wearing antisemitic shirts, because no matter what they are protesting, there will always be people who blame us.

Wow! Biden completely outsmarted Trump with his executive order to permanently ban drilling in 625 million acres of ocean. Biden didn’t just sign it, he invoked the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. Trump can ONLY undo it with an act of Congress or in the courts. Dark Brandon strikes again!

After some Costco shareholders asked the company to end its DEI policies, this was their response: “Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." This explains why Costco is an industry leader!

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs. Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this? #PHEthx

I don’t know what to do. It’s not safe to live in the US anymore. I have an undiagnosed chronic illness & chronic pain (thanks, shitty healthcare system), therefore work is limited or non existent. This makes emigrating nearly impossible. So I just get to suffer & die? God bless America, I guess.

📌“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.” ― Lyndon B. Johnson *(One of the most prescient things ever said by anybody.)

As the oligarchy begins to take shape, this meme seems more prescient than ever. They have convinced you that immigrants are your enemy while they pick your pockets at the same time, you’ve been duped. It’s the billionaires who are ruining this country,not migrants. Always has been. #RiseAndResist

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By denying care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Amber Nelson from the Last Podcast Network has been one of my favorites for a while. In a recent episode of Some Place Under Neith, she said a phrase that reminded me why she is. The phrase, you ask? “Because they go to Bohemian Grove and touch dick tips, that’s why.”
