“We need to help our own country first.” “You can donate your own money if you want to help Ukraine.” “So you want to offer up all this money for nothing in return?” Facebook is full of these comments right now. Make the case that supporting Ukraine is in our best interests. Lift this meme.

This was a disgusting display by the soft, uninformed VP Vance trying to school Zelensky, the man who has led his country through the most surprisingly resilient and effective fight for sovereignty against a global superpower. Every negative stereotype about America is confirmed in this exchange.

Rep. Pettersen voted in-person, and gave a speech from the House floor—all while holding her baby, because Republicans refused to let her vote remotely while on maternity leave. Rep. Pettersen shouldn’t have been forced to come in, but I’m glad we have a fighter like this on our side.

Air traffic controllers are required by law to retire at 56. It is a high-stress, high-intensity job that requires intense focus. The retirement rules are there to keep us all safe. This fucking guy has no clue what's he's doing.

I’ll continue subscribing to WaPo so long as it produces excellent news journalism from the very fine reporters who remain there. But if you’ve recently cancelled your subscription, I hope you’ll consider re-directing that $ to a non-profit newsroom like ours: www.lawfaremedia.org/about/support

Penny wise, pound foolish. Community members ill with no insurance will expose us to untreated communicable disease unnecessarily. Terminating Medicaid will result in the most vulnerable getting sick & unwittingly spreading disease among the healthy. Then what?😱

A Southwest Airlines plane was forced to abort its landing this morning after a private jet taxied in front of it across the runway at Midway Airport in Chicago. Whatever that guy from The Real World is doing with the FAA has gotta stop.

The president is literally wielding the threat of imprisonment over the mayor of America's largest city to keep him in line. What happens if it's a governor or a Democratic leader in Congress next?

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

We're in the midst of a constitutional crisis. The world's richest man is effectively orchestrating a coup. At the very least, Senate Dems should not be confirming any of Trump’s nominees for any agency while this power grab continues. Nothing should be "business as usual."

The Tech Bros glorify themselves, technology, colonialism, imperialism, monarchy, billionaire-ism, accelerationism, & risk. They plan to colonize via “network states” & charter cities. They are obsessed w/ IQ & intrigued w/ race science & surveillance. They admire Curtis Yarvin & Nick Land. 1/

As someone who is very familiar with both the US and Canadian systems, I can confirm that PHAC is a great source of info, especially regarding guidance and easy to access facts. It doesn’t replace American data lost at CDC in the great purge but it does provide reliable health & medical information.
