She is an American citizen, the daughter of a U.S. Navy service member from Illinois, who was stationed in the Philippines during the Vietnam War. This is fascism, plain and simple.

This refusal to engage with the substance of what people are saying and whether it's actually true in favor of meta-arguments about free speech, bias, "outsider" status, etc has totally corroded mainstream political analysis into uselessness (at best). If anything it's making people less informed

It's often presented as a kind of conformity or groupthink to "trust the experts," but you do in fact need to do this to have a functioning society! What is the alternative? Every person researches every single issue of public concern themselves?

RFK Jr. is reportedly going to forbid government scientists from publishing in the world’s most respected medical journals — the Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, etc. It’s going to take decades to repair the damage done by this administration.

Exactly. People go around driving cars and riding in airplanes because they trust the experts who made them. Not everyone can be an expert on everything. The demonizing of expertise is dangerous.

In anti-authoritarian struggles, criticizing the regime for their blatant corruption is often one of the most important ways to mobilize the public and break through to regime supporters. The Trump regime is the most corrupt in US history—it’s worth repeating ad nauseam

A Bronx high school student was abducted by ICE at his immigration court date and has since been disappeared across four states in five days in order to evade contact with his lawyer. The US is now undeniably a rogue state. www.chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025...

This is what happens when government and law-enforcement agencies are forced to work toward serving quotas instead of serving just outcomes. This is why applying arbitrary quotas to immigration or law enforcement is evil.

For many years, ICE has agreed not to deport certain people for humanitarian reasons, including this mother of three with no criminal record who has strong ties to her community. Now the Trump admin needs "easy" deportations; so they're revoking stays of removal without any warning at all.

This is fucking ridiculous—but not surprising: The Missouri Supreme Court just effectively revived the state’s abortion ban, ignoring the fact that voters passed a pro-choice amendment in November.

NASA launched 1 SLS. It sent an experimental, crew-rated capsule into cis-lunar orbit further than any Apollo mission and returned it safely to Earth. SpaceX has launched 9 Starships, all of which exploded before reaching orbit. You Elon stans are all fucking idiots.

It’s not possible for “illegal” immigrants to receive federal benefits like Medicaid. There are no examples of this happening; they just keep lying about it as an excuse to take healthcare from vulnerable Americans. I don’t understand why mainstream media chooses not to push back on this obvious lie

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.
