“No employee is required to report outside their department chain of command” should have been the universal position of every agency since Jan 20 considering how it is, you know, the law.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

“It funds work that makes no sense like giving CT scans to homeless people” The research was to address the fact that unhoused people have a mortality rate for lung cancer that’s more than 2x that of housed people. CT is the gold standard for lung cancer screening. Doesn’t make sense to him, though

I posted Grimes’ now-deleted tweets about deadbeat Elon to my instagram story because the handful of people I texted the images to hadn’t seen them. So wild to me how this stuff doesn’t break through to the normies.

One of the first targets here will almost certainly be blocking the mailing of abortion medications like mifepristone. If I'm right, it'll be a the biggest blow to reproductive freedom since the repeal of Roe.

Deported to Guantanamo, then to Honduras, and then into the arms of the dictatorship in Venezuela. We're running out of evil thresholds left to cross. A government capable of doing this is capable of doing anything to any of us.

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

A Missouri Representative has filed a bill to track pregnancies in the state. HB 807 will: "Maintain a central registry of each expectant mother who is at risk for seeking an abortion of her unborn child and make the same available to a prospective adoptive parent who has completed screenings."

I love how my former boss that’s caused multiple people to have lasting mental health issues is a MAHA / RFK Jr nut. How fitting.

Measles requires 95% vaccination rates for herd immunity. It has a 16.2% case fatality rate for unvaccinated children under 5 years and 24% for children under 9 months (who are unable to be vaccinated). 30% of the survivors experience severe complications like blindness, deafness, or encephalitis.

Every Republican administration in the post-WWII era has committed crimes. Nixon got busted & punished for his. While he was in the midst of it, Roger Ailes came to his office & pitched him a RW media outlet. The explicit goal was to prevent the kind of social consensus that yields accountability.

So….wouldn’t you imagine Eric Adams offering up New Yorkers to corruptly save his own skin would be illegal within New York state law?

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

I think some state prosecutors need to figure out what crimes Elon is breaking in any of their jurisdictions.

In light of the news that DOJ leadership is forcing career prosecutors to either dismiss the criminal case against Eric Adams or be fired, it seems like a good time to remind everyone that the judge can refuse to dismiss. That rule exists precisely in order to prevent corrupt dismissals.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Louisiana hasn't had a contested execution in 23 years. Now they're trying to execute 3 people in 3 days (so far) - including an 81-year-old, wheelchair-bound man in the process of entering hospice. They are going to use nitrogen hypoxia, a profoundly experimental killing method, to do this.

A fundamental story of the last decade is that a lot of basically incompetent people got fed up by competent people telling them they were wrong, constructed a more welcoming alternative ecosystem of competency cosplayers, and then somehow turned the whole government over to them.

Eric Adams pretty much agreed to sidestep NY sanctuary protections, & make his city's immigrant residents more vulnerable to iCE, in pursuit of naked personal gain & a shield from corruption charges.

Although the federal courts have blocked Trump's efforts to destroy birthright citizenship for millions of Americans, his campaign to harass & vilify immigrants continues. Immigrant families should know their rights. I've convened a webinar to inform you & your loved ones on what you need to know.
