OK, the report is now fully in major media. Media must get an extensive White House response; Congress must investigate (even if it's a minority report); DOJ and the FBI must investigate; the CIA must issue a report on what it knew about this and when.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Republican cities and states across the country have taken to President Donald Trump’s deportation plans and are increasing cooperation with federal authorities — even seeking new laws against illegal immigration that would be enforced by local and state police.

Folks, if you’ve ever asked what you would have done during the Holocaust, this is your chance to find out. These are probably not extermination camps. But the Nazis did not start out with Auschwitz and other industrial extermination camps either. There were many steps along the way.

When ordered by Nazis to give lists of disabled people by disability severity, some doctors sent back exaggerated data to protect patients from forced work They didn't know that the "most disabled" were to be killed first The moral here isn't to tell the truth It's to never co-operate with Nazis

When we talk about the latest iteration of the segregation movement it’s important to be clear that it’s about transphobia AND misogynist racism. “The bills flow from a fundamental belief that whiteness — both the category and those who occupy it — is under threat.” truthout.org/articles/the...

If you're a "good government" liberal, you should study which policies are best and figure out how to explain them. There are good, non-partisan, reasons to expand SCOTUS and end life terms for justices. "Court packing" is a term from the 30s. Nobody would care if you sell it properly.

The US is giving this virus too many opportunities to acquire mutations to facilitate efficient human to human transmission. There are now different genotypes, multiple types and large numbers of hosts (including humans), and ample opportunity for reassortment. www.latimes.com/world-nation...

If you’re a Visa cardholder you can let them know you won’t be any longer if they do business with fElon. I called and they said they’re taking comments at [email protected]. Maybe if enough of us complain they’ll pull the deal.

I see you all (except Putrino Labs) leaving disabled people off your lists of who’s under threat by this administration and would like to remind you that the shitbag in the Oval Office tried to blame the plane crash on the fact that disabled people can have jobs.

Unfollowed all "alt" gov accounts due to the fact that several of them are making statements that don't pass the sniff test— such as taking credit for work that the Internet Archive does on its own. Or posting unverified claims from Reddit as factual information. I strongly urge skepticism.

USAID.gov is down. Why is this concerning? Trump has no legal authority to eliminate a congressionally funded independent agency. The work of USAID is vital, and if this can happen to them, it can happen to any of us.
