PRAMS is the source of data for basically every effort to limit infant mortality and all the health dangers mothers face before and after birth. So a pretty big deal the Elon and Co decided to cancel the program.

Truly frightening to see civil-military relations experts be so distraught today. I hadn't understood that no POTUS has ever replaced the top brass 1 month into office plus fired the JAGs. We’re in autogolpe territory, more so if Trump changes the head of Northern Command.

After the World Trade Centre attacks on September 11th, 2001. Ukraine sent its soldiers to Afghanistan. There was no outrage from Ukrainian citizens about how much it would cost the nation. Because it was the right thing to do.

This was the moment, just over a month ago, when the ADL could've put an end to Republicans doing Nazi salutes. They didn't. They chose instead to provide cover by calling it "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm." Now the sieg heil salute has been normalized. The ADL literally had ONE JOB.

“This isn’t, ‘We need more beds.’ This is ‘Let’s show people how mean we can be, and maybe we can scare people into leaving.’” Sending undocumented immigrants to Gitmo under flimsy pretexts is a human rights violation.

On this Day of Remembrance, we honor the 120,000 Japanese Americans unjustly imprisoned during WWII because of their heritage. Their resilience remind us to never forget the lessons of history. We will continue to fight for justice, equality, and civil rights for all.

This is probably a good time to point out that one big group of IGs Trump fired were busy finding $100s of billions in COVID fraud, enabled by Trump's own incompetence. Another big group fired were in charge of tracking spending in Ukraine. He literally fired people tracking problems with this $$.

from @acaciajustice.bsky.social: The Trump admin has frozen legal services for unaccompanied children. This leaves 26,000 children - some too young to read or write - without access to their lawyers 📝 Contact your Reps to restore access to this life-saving program for children ➡️ tinyurl.com/SaveUCP

Today is National Day of Remembrance for the 120,000 Japanese Americans who were put into internment/concentration camps by an Executive Order. This is a very real part of US history, and I can only hope that we never repeat it again, but it feels, more than before, a real possibility again.

Here's my action of the day for anyone in Texas. These are the agencies that the Commerce Committee, headed by your very own Teddy Cancun, oversees. He's the guy w/oversight authority over Sean Duffy's cuts to FAA (and failures to respond to plane crashes). Think of creative ways to lobby him!
