AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

After calling the soaring national debt “the number one threat to our nation,” Speaker Johnson led the GOP in passing a cruel budget that increases the debt by trillions. Musk & other billionaires will win more tax breaks while vital food assistance and healthcare is cut for millions of Americans.

Antisemitic, far-right extremists are managing our national security apparatus: *NSC officials fired after Laura Loomer met with Trump. *FBI guts programs to monitor and counter violent white supremacy. *Neo-Nazi conspiracy theorists are in senior roles at DOD and elsewhere. And I could go on

ICE arrested Mahmoud Khalil nearly 4 wks ago, the first of many such actions under the guise of countering antisemitism. As we’ve been saying: our community & our real concerns are not an excuse to upend democracy & the rule of law. Our safety is inextricably linked with the rights & safety of all.

Instead of using “emergency“ decrees to move us toward authoritarianism, Trump should declare our broken health care system an emergency and move us toward guaranteed health care for all. When 85 million Americans are uninsured or under-insured, that’s the true emergency.

“Over the last two decades, extensive scientific research has discredited shaken baby syndrome. Because misinformation and misconceptions about SBS persist, Robert Roberson is still at risk of execution for a crime that never occurred,” said Barry Scheck. www.thefp.com/p/the-junk-s...
