A deadly mystery disease in Congo has killed 50+ people—half within 48 hours. Serious question: If a deadly virus hits our shores, how will we even know other than word-of-mouth? Trump pulled us from WHO, is gutting the CDC & put an antivaxxer who thinks WiFi causes “leaky brain” in charge of HHS.

this is largely just a difference in framing but imo the thing that destroys fascists constantly is that almost none of them can accurately judge risk. Franco was a huge exception. he actually was very intelligent and savvy. not common traits among his kind.

How about this? Anyone who thinks trans people shouldn't be allowed to serve in the military should have to serve in the military.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

so special ed programs are getting gutted because their internal documentation used the term "transition" when talking about helping disabled kids enter the working world. they're literally striking at that word wherever they see it.

RFK is probably gonna ban my adhd meds because although this country rarely cares about public safety (guns, racism, sexual violence, etc.), when we do, it’s because whatever the thing is, it improves equity, (abortion, vaccines, SSRIs, etc.) and that’s unhealthy for access-based power.

At this point I genuinely don't think it's hyperbole to say that Elon Musk is functionally in charge of the US government. Perhaps not in specific policy areas - two bills or one on the hill, policy in the mideast. But certainly functional control of the state apparatus.

not a new observation but Elon Musk genuinely isn't very bright, genuinely has no idea how most things work, and his entire supergenius engineer persona is a tech press-enabled mythology (they've never been held accountable for)

There has been a shift in the Trump team's language in their anti-DEI attacks. All of a sudden they started calling it "DEIA", with the A being "accessibility". If you don't think it's a coordinated effort to remove disabled people from every facet of life, well I have news for you.

Two weeks ago, Trump imposed a gag order on all federal health agencies. Today, in a wildfire air quality update, the CDC briefly included a chart disclosing cat to human H5N1 transmission, then quietly deleted. This is our world now. Scientists surreptitiously trying to save us from our government.
