If you read one thing todayā€¦ www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

All of us to @msnbc.com

Remember last month, when you didnā€™t have to worry about the safety of the US nuclear arsenal? Or when you could get on a plane pretty sure you'd survive the flight? Those were the days. My @nytimes.com Guest Essay on DOGE, the wrecking ball crushing Americans' last remaining trust in government.

Heh, I can think of at least one of my former employers who ā€¦ doesnā€™t seem to have any black people anymore but has Juneteenth as a holiday. Itā€™s the darndest thing.

From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.

A newfound RESPECT for @maddow.msnbc.com for keeping it real about whatā€™s going on at MSNBC and how she really feels about it. She didnā€™t have to say this, but Iā€™m so glad she did. Take 2 minutesā€¦ (1 of 2)

Wow! So 1+1 really does equal 2. The Texas measles outbreak is hitting the area with the highest vaccine exemption rates. Shockingā€”if you ignore science.

Coming for the gays now, just like we told you they would

Resegregation

Park rangers are the librarians of outside (compliment)

Hope is an act of defiance.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

Note that Bannon and Musk represent opposite sides of the US far right (Traditionalist populism vs technocracy). The fascist salutes aren't coming one faction of the "Conservative" movement, this is now a powerful cross section of its leadership.

I appreciate everyoneā€™s messages of support, Iā€™m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, itā€™s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

This is one for your lists

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Hereā€™s why that will never happen. 1. You canā€™t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didnā€™t get vaxxed. Unethical.

Please read! Repost! Thank you šŸ’™šŸ’™šŸ’™

šŸšØOH HELL NO! ā€˜DOGE appears to have busted their way into the Social Security Administration, forcing the resignation of the acting commissioner, Michelle King, when she resisted their demands to give DOGE access to Agencyā€™s most sensitive government recordsā€™. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/doge-...

šŸ“ŒYour (our) social security information is being compromised as I type this. šŸ“ŒIt is one of the biggest stories in United States history, and for the life of me I donā€™t understand why it isnā€™t being treated this way. šŸ“ŒFucking sirens should be blaring. It is a full-on emergency.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a ā€œdire threat to the American people and our way of lifeā€. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

I wrote about the worst people in the world, charting the depths of their depravity and vastness of their incompetence, and offered some thoughts about the opportunity presented by their failure to acknowledge reality and their refusal to access any form of human virtue. www.the-reframe.com/the/

Omg this is eye popping

SCOOP: The top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its efforts to aid states in securing elections. The move represents the first major example of the countryā€™s cyber defense agency accommodating Trumpā€™s false claims of election fraud and online censorship.

when I was a kid in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, instead of snow days we had smog days where we weren't allowed to go to school.

BREAKING Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson just issued an order preventing the Trump administration from: 1. Deleting CFPB data 2. Firing CFPB employees 3. Transferring money from CFPB's reserve fund Right after the order was issued, nearly all CFPB employees were placed on administrative leave

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

5 ways to celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth (cause the fed govt doesnā€™t run your house) 1. Find out what Sojourner Truth REALLY said 2. Buy a Black horror, scifi or fantasy book 3. Listen to ā€œNaimaā€ by John Coltrane 4. Send the victims of the LA fires in Altadena a few coins 5. Get a library card

Tonight I saw a take from a white person asking for sympathy for Trump supporters on the basis they were ā€œliedā€ to and that pissed me right off. Here comes the rantā€¦ Trump supporters werenā€™t lied to. They were told REPEATIDLY what he intended to do! They KNEW and they voted for him BECAUSE OF IT

This is absolutely insane. Muskā€™s DOGE crew just straight up *took* $80 million from an NYC bank account!

The dumbest people who have ever existed are running the country

AND:

This ā€œTrump saves the Afrikanersā€ saga is wild. So Trump made that EO in which he commits to ā€œthe resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination,ā€ and Afriforum ā€” an Afrikaner rights group ā€” is like no thanks, we arenā€™t refugees and we arenā€™t leaving lmfao

Extra large plus four. I am so grateful for all the help Iā€™ve received along the way.

FACTS: "There are proposals from Republicans to cut $2.3 trillion from Medicaid." THIS is what it would do: It would destroy Medicaid. It wouldn't fight inflation. It wouldn't bring anybody's prices down. It would just steal people's health care #HandsOffOurMedicaid #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
