When someone confuses choice on abortion with choice on vaccines they are telling you they know fuck-all about public health and science. Abortion is not transmissible. Measles virus is more infectious than the flu, and can hang in the air for up to 2 hours after an infected person has been/gone.

Really don’t know what to tell people as someone who has written and spoken about the far right and authoritarianism and is in the academic side of this that we crossed the rubicon tonight when Trump declared he and the AG are the sole arbitrators of law. This is it. It’s here there is no going back

True, but I doubt he wrote it himself. He talks about himself in the first person. It’s clear what they’re setting up—just curious who’s pulling the strings.

These guys wouldn’t feel any pain if we shifted a pittance of their billions (which they made off the rest of us!) to take care of people. We’d be a stronger, smarter, healthier, happy nation. Why is this controversial?

Hearing nonsense that Ds are threatening a shutdown. False. Entire matter is in GOP hands. What's happening is that Rs are coming hat in hand to Ds for help because they can't agree among themselves. Ds shld have a simple demand. No help until the criminal conduct stops.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Why target USAID when it’s <1% of budget? “USAID funds democracy-promotion programs around the world, including in European countries where right-wing populist movements are thriving. Musk has become an ally of those movements, some of whose leaders have specifically targeted the agency…” Gift link

Trump says there must be "pain" for Americans in this idiotic trade war of his. Ask yourself, what pain does TRUMP suffer? What pain will the billionaire class suffer? Why is it that when Republicans talk about pain and sacrifice, it's always YOU who suffers for their vision?

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

You know that handshake thing Trump does where he takes someone’s hand and yanks them in closer? That’s effectively what his cronies are doing to reach-across-the-aisle Dems: yanking them into supporting dangerous people and policies, and getting nothing meaningful in return.

Democratic leaders who roll over rather than fight the egregious actions of this administration are part of the problem. Gov. Hochul needs to stand up against the racist immigration roundups (notice nobody’s asking undocumented people from, say, Ireland to prove they belong here or get deported). 1/

It is actually our responsibility as American citizens to identify government failures and insist that they be addressed. And when people die through carelessness and neglect, it is Good Politics Actually to show anger, to show emotion, and to demand action.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
