RFK Jr. spouted dangerous vaccine falsehoods on national TV. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. Here's what the data actually shows. 🧵

all I’ll add is Trump has been consistently scapegoating both immigrants and trans people, from his rallies to his campaign ads to this… whatever this is

I think this means he knows he’s losing. The he being Miller who wrote this and Trump who has no other plays but lean into it and get more blowback.

Contact your senators and demand an immediate censure. We can’t allow this shit to happen. They are begging for more political violence.

If you're not watching "Andor", you really should. It's the best Star Wars. And it's so very relevant to what is going on in the world today, as evidenced by Mon Mothma's speech to the Senate in the most recent episodes. This isn't a spoiler, it's just a major moment worth sharing: #Resistance

This was the biggest day of protest in American history. You'd think it would deserve more attention than the President watching tanks slowly go vroom.

the media didn't like biden and wanted to hurt him so they promoted the "truck caravans" as a major story to try to do that. by contrast, they like trump and want to help him (like they helped him win the election) and so bury or minimize coverage of anti-Trump protests

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

Hard to communicate how big the San Diego No Kings protest is. By far the biggest I've seen since I moved here, even bigger than the peak of BLM. All of harbor drive and Pacific highway downtown shut down

In the 1870s, when (self-described) white supremacists were working to “redeem” North Carolina from multiracial democracy, they sought to disempower local governments to “liberate” white minorities from black judges, sheriffs, etc. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

No, we lost our democracy months ago, but we can rebuild a better one in the future when we actually defeat fascism and stop pretending it’s a future threat and not invading American cities and destroying the government as we speak.

I think Republicans really need to understand that if people are denied relief through the legal system, they will find other ways to seek justice, and historically those ways end up being quite violent

Visible dissent is essential to resisting creeping fascism. Not because it magically stops the fascists but because it breaks the suffocating illusion of complicity and consent. This matters and has been often discussed by scholars of Nazi Germany and fascism generally.

Solid, insightful thread. "Trump’s autocratic regime is aggressively attacking and intimidating minority electeds ... just like his goons are raiding minority immigrants. He wants every Black, Latino, & Jewish person to know that if any minority dares to speak up, we will face the same violence."

White people. You are not facing this yet. You are not facing one one-hundredth of this yet. You and I? We bleed the same blood. It runs through our veins with the same color. Where white men and red men bleed no man can tell the difference. You have the same strength we do.

If you are feeling helpless and adrift in the face of current events, I PROMISE you that finding a protest and joining (if you are able and have capacity) really can make you feel profoundly a part of things in an empowering way.

I think it's pretty clear at this point Trump cannot be allowed to remain in office to end his term. Unfortunately the structure of the Senate makes it all but impossible to use existing institutions to do it.

This is why many of us on the academic side said that if troops get deployed in to blue cities, they will be used for anything The federal government wants them to do no matter what and they will never leave once stationed in a blue city, it’s an occupation of what they see as enemy territory.

It's just a violent military crackdown on peaceful protestors, not something serious like a magazine editor getting fired for being bad at editing.

As usual with these dust-ups she is retreating to the ‘compromise’ position that sporting bodies should make standards about transition. The problem is that THIS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. Standards have been in place for years. Lia Thomas met them! The bigots don’t care.

This is not a legitimate stance and it cannot be treated as such. The Palestinian people have a right to self-determination and that right is not contingent on US or Israeli approval.

It’s kind of nuts how people believe advocating to ruin various groups of people’s lives they have a prejudice against is just a simple disagreement and not evil shit that should be shunned completely. And it’s scary how normal it is.

Everyone in America is going to be asked to put themselves on the line to protect themselves and their communities from the Jack boots of fascism people need to be making plans for their communities and their schools as this accelerates because once Trump puts troops on the ground. He will not stop.

All right, I’m gonna start putting together some bits and pieces into a thread this evening. I don’t know how much time I will be able to put together things tonight, but I will try for a bit. Just out of the gate, these protesters look much more ready for whatever government forces throw at them

If you want to show solidarity with Los Angeles, the best thing to do is organize protests against ICE tonight/tomorrow in your own cities. Search the web for ICE rapid response networks in your own city / state and sign up. Help your neighbors.

Don’t let mainstream news water down the real tragedy that happened here. This was a hate crime, not an argument. The local police didn’t respond to their distress about their home, and now it’s escalated to the murder of Joss and their pet dog Fuck SAPD. I hope there’s riots in the streets

This Pride month, don’t forget about the trans and gnc activists who made this happen. People like Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P Johnson, whose leadership at Stonewall has now been stricken from all government websites by a Trump administration that wants us erased from history.

I want to thank everyone who donated and shared to help Alaa's family yesterday. I want you to meet her twin girls. They're adorable. They both have chronic illnesses. And they're rays of light in the darkness of a genocide. If you missed this yesterday, information on how to help Alaa is below.
