“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

This is the verbiage of SF360, which they are tempting to push through Iowa legislature. From my reading, it would make administering vaccinations such as covid illegal.

I'll have no truck with kings.

He wants to eliminate FEMA and he spent the day at a NASCAR race amidst a three-state catastrophe. Where is the damn media about this? Where is the outrage they would show a Democrat president?

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

The President & the richest man in the world are recklessly attacking medical research—with researchers being laid off, studies being canceled, & kids now unable to get the lifesaving treatment they need. It’s absolutely heartless & will have devastating consequences for us all.

Knowledge is power…

I fear they’re coming for ALL school vaccine mandates next. Including measles, mumps and rubella.

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Looks like my whole family is on their way.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

You can’t spell Stonewall without the T

I just heard of the third beautiful, brilliant trans soul who needed to exit this life early. Three this week. One a teen. My heart aches for every single soul who is terrified and shattered and broken. Who feels like there is no other way. You ARE loved and wanted and so special. Please stay.

A quick resistance task: 1. Google Gulf of Mexico 2. “Gulf of America" is the top 3. Click on the three little dots to the right of it 4. Select "Send Feedback" 5. Click on "Gulf Of America" 6. Select "Inaccurate content" 7. Select "Incorrect" and type in "The correct name is “Gulf of Mexico"

Bernie Sanders: "They will use the enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death."

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

Everyone needs to know this… The Trump administration is gearing up to restart immigrant family detention—ICE is already inviting private prison companies to bid on contracts. Say it plain: This means profit from family detention, and US citizens in mixed status families will be caught in it too.

It's also not true. White maternal death rates are also not great when compared to other countries. The downside of using the people you systematically opress as your benchmark is you fail to recognize how your own policies are killing you.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

A worthy 45 second read.

It was the worst of times and it was the worse-est-er of time.

The tale of two White House press secretaries

If your boss or company tells you to do something unethical: don't say yes. Make them write it down.

Ay me! I see the ruin of my house: The tiger now hath seiz’d the gentle hind; Insulting tyranny begins to jut Upon the innocent and aweless throne.

USAID is a criminal organization,” Mr. Musk wrote on Sunday in a social media post that many aid workers saw as confirmation the agency would soon be absorbed into the State Department and that some viewed as a potential threat to their personal safety. “Time for it to die.” THIS HAS TO STOP.

My 15 year old feels that someone whose really into the lyrics of "Under My Thumb" by the Rolling Stones is a huge red flag. Hey, my boy ain't wrong!!! 🚩

abcnews.go.com/Health/multi... "Temporarily taken down", my ass! Why do they keep phrasing this stuff like it's a blip or an accident? These are serious changes happening in our "free" country.

BREAKING NEWS: Research and basic information on subjects ranging from tuberculosis surveillance to adolescent health disappeared from federal health agency websites.

In the 20th century, they were known as "concentration camps." Now, they are simply called "housing." Doesn't that sound so much more humane? Voila, problem solved!
