Hey it’s apparently all Nazis all the time tonight- let’s stop using degenerate as a pejorative. It was literally used on people who “degenerate” the “master race”. Meaning mixed race people, queer people, disabled people, and other such undesirables.

On hold at the CDC: An analysis suggesting that flu cases may be at a record high. That could mean a surge of deaths comes next. The CDC is delaying analyses to inform the situation & has cut off usual communication w/hospital networks & WHO. My latest: kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

On a day named for a saint who wouldn’t bow to Caesar, I was so glad to read this beautiful story. I think you will be, too. “We’re just as much a part of this world as anyone else. We’re here to stay, and we will not be erased by a Christo-fascist, neo-Nazi administration.” - Tanya Walker

The US healthcare system is no longer safe. Without a strong CDC we can’t control new pathogen outbreaks in our hospitals or benchmark infection rates to prevent surgical infections or pneumonias There is no “private” solution that can make it safe Every hospital CEO should be speaking up

That this may qualify as "good" news tells you how evil and bigoted this terrible administration is.

Trump officially ignoring the orders of federal judges. It is time to call it what it is. This is a coup. youtu.be/bkP4aWMOmHM?...

White House defying court orders, persisting with illegal action, and usurping Congress’ power of the purse, which would effectively end checks and balances. If that’s not a Constitutional crisis, what is? Sorry, media, but like climate change, Constitutional crisis is out of “some say” territory.

I think it’s important for outlets to stop framing Trump’s actions as “anti-DEI” and describe what they actually are, which is pro-segregation not only do people have an actual negative association with that description, it’s significantly more accurate

“This climate of fear recalls the anticommunist paranoia of the 1950s and its crucial turning point exactly 75 years ago—when a famous speech, based on a lie, catapulted a little-known politician to prominence and added a new word to the American lexicon: McCarthyism.” time.com/7213586/medi...

I have seen people get thrown face-down onto a hard floor for failing to follow a judge's orders. I have seen people sent to Rikers Island for refusing to follow a judge's order. Courts have plenty of hard power. But they only have practice using it against poor people.

By the "Spartan Trap", I mean "having to commit escalating levels of state capacity to maintain an increasingly expansive and unstable security state that starts to eat away at essential functions of government and destroys the ability to resist or react to external threats."

I just had to drop my wife off at the emergency room. A lot happened before this and I’m really tired. Mostly I’m worried for my wife hoping they take care of her and that she doesn’t catch anything else while she’s there.
