If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

If you want people to trust vaccines, you don’t fire experts and give the mic to people who’ve spent years casting doubt. That’s not balance. It risks unraveling decades of public health progress. Trust is built through evidence, not agendas that reject science. www.cidrap.umn.edu/vaccine-inte...

trump falsely claimed throughout his campaign that biden's fema couldn't afford to help north carolina hurricane victims because the money was spent on immigration

This is even more hopeful than you might think - on today’s very timely @podsaveamerica.crooked.com, I talk to @chenoweth.bsky.social about their 3.5% rule - the finding that nonviolent protest movements haven’t failed when 3.5% of the country is engaged. One of the best convos I’ve had this year

I recommend everyone go read "Transitions from Authoritarian Rule" by Guillermo O'Donnell and Philippe Schmitter Ex ante we don't know who the soft-liners are but what they found is that a rift between soft-liners and hard-liners opens the possibility of democratization.

Yesterday at Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in Seattle barriers were built with scooters and bikes in front of the buildings garage exit. This comes as it was announced today that ICE will be deploying tactical teams to 5 cities in the US to assist in “mass deportations”

The power is with us, and by demonstrating powerfully and peacefully this Saturday, we are saying in one clear voice: “We Don’t Do Kings Here!” Join us this Saturday at 5 PM in Austin #NoKingsDay #NoKings #indivisible #peacefulprotest www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

If they can do it to a United States senator, what do you think they’ll do to you?

Not under arrest and we will escort you out in cuffs. Nothing to see here. Just some media control fascism.

We are disgusted that RFK Jr. just wiped out the entire ACIP and replaced its members with people who have pushed dangerous misinformation, including critics of lifesaving vaccines. This is not reform. It is sabotage.

Donald Trump forcing US troops to sleep on the ground in the scorching heat in Los Angeles, since he made 0 arrangements to house or feed them and only wanted to use them as props for his fascist porn and political manipulation. MAGA will say "I voted for this"🤡

ICE was created post 9/11 to combat terrorist threats. If they aren't combatting the number one terror threat to America - Domestic Violent Extremism and white supremacists - then they don't need to exist as an agency.

President Lyndon B. Johnson federalized the National Guard in 1965, calling on troops to protect civil rights advocates who were marching from Selma, Ala., to Montgomery.

And here we stand.

How is the WHPC that found solidarity with fuckin’ Fox News over a relatively minor slight getting outshined by French journalists as Trump’s whole government harasses AP?

Mrs. Bowers, you’re always on point!

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.

Good luck, Red States. You're gonna need it during hurricanes and tornadoes. FEMA is losing scores of employees. That could slow disaster response. wapo.st/437aZix

"Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Dan Sullivan (Alaska), Jim Moran (Kansas) and Steve Daines (Mont.) were all co-sponsors of this law. None responded to requests for comment."

Actually, that is precisely what the legislative branch is supposed to do.

Not a coincidence that the thing on the right happened right after the thing on the left came out.

SCOOP: Kash Patel took $25,000 from a production company with ties to Russia propaganda activity to appear in an anti-FBI docuseries. He did not respond to questions about this. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

NEW: The removal of the DOJ’s Jan. 6 database signals the Trump administration’s intention to not only spare his supporters any further consequences for their role in the riot, but to erase the event from the record. By @alecmac.bsky.social

Fire this POS!

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

This is very good

It’s official: Elon Musk’s staffers have now illegally obtained classified information from the USAID office. Here’s a recap of what’s happening:

Mood.

Important data to remember.

There’s a potential Ebola outbreak in DR Congo BUT the CDC can’t communicate with the WHO to learn more SO we will know less about this outbreak And this increases the risk to everyone Including us THIS is what happens when we pull back Stupidity. www.statnews.com/2025/01/28/p...
