Some people think this is an exaggeration but I will say that if I were HHS Secretary and my goal were to kill as many children as possible, it would be difficult to distinguish the actions I would take from those that Kennedy has taken.

Some people get into journalism because they’re skeptical of power, and others do so because they’re impressed by it. Moments like this are clarifying with respect to who’s who.

Nothing sums up the state of affairs for transgender Americans quite like the US Supreme Court denying trans people life-saving healthcare at the same time that the Trump administration shuts down suicide prevention programs for LGBTQ people. These bastards want us all dead.

Hey, remember WAY back (last week) when Elon was feuding with Trump and centrists were saying Dems should cozy up to Elon? How's that looking now? You finally understand why we can't compromise with fascists/racists?

There were millions today. In part bc there were a dozen of you at that intersection that time, or every Tues, or after soccer. Or you stood alone with a sign at an overpass. Or your tiny town rallied around a detained woman, or 17 yo, or family. Your courage was contagious. Look what you did.

MSNBC reporter on ground in LA right now saying that from what he has seen the protestors have been peaceful but the LA Sheriff’s Dept in particular has been off the chain, quick to use tear gas and rubber bullets in an exceedingly aggressive manner

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

The Overton Window has shifted all the way to ban all non-white people from coming to America. It was never about illegal immigration.

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously attempting to shape how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

ER doctor here! Please seek medical attention (go to the ER) if you are hit in the head with a ballistic. “Less lethal” weapons kill people all the time, in addition to causing permanent disabilities. If you don’t feel safe disclosing that you were protesting just say you were hit in the head, etc

Yes! What they’ve enacted upon Los Angeles, they have perfected against communities of color. We have madmen at the wheel, instead of just shudder politicians. I worry for all of us. I worry about this man, (who admires Andrew Jackson!) when he wants something on tribal lands… Halito from PA!

Sending 2,000 troops to Los Angeles is the same thing as sending a few dozen random people to a gulag in El Salvador, they're doing this because it's a thing they've always wanted to do, not because of any broader goal or coherent plan. Subordination of strategy to tactical planning.

I know many people my age still have a lot of nostalgia around Harry Potter and might be tempted to watch the new HBO TV series. Please, I'm begging you, do not tune in. J.K. Rowling is singularly motivated. The new Harry Potter series is a cash cow intended to fund anti-trans bigotry.

“Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” This doesn’t sound like “radical transparency” to me. Check out my latest secrecy newsletter to see which FOIA offices have closed so far, and which might be next.

yes of course these types of protests are cringe, they’re incredibly cringe, all successful propaganda is cringe. and that weepy sentimentality is one of the things that can eventually make people decide it’s worth taking risks against their own safety and security for something more important
