Human beings deserve human rights. All of them. Even ones whose governments and/or representative bodies commit atrocities. Even ones who--yes-- commit atrocities themselves. You don't lose your right to human rights, ever. That's why they're called inalienable human rights.

PRAMS is the source of data for basically every effort to limit infant mortality and all the health dangers mothers face before and after birth. So a pretty big deal the Elon and Co decided to cancel the program.

Major news media aren't ready to say directly that Trump and Musk are pushing us toward a dictatorship, and by the time they come around to that fact, it may be illegal to say so.

One of most dangerous comments I heard during & after election was "we survived the last Trump administration, we'll survive another." We'll never know how many of the million+ Americans who died of Covid would be alive if for different management. But now it's clear this admin will kill even more.

I actually read through this (something I rarely do when not assigned as homework) and (1) feel educated at the end - completely separate from the critique of a book I have not seen - and (2) I can't decide if I agree with the sum over all parts, but I resonate strongly with what's said here. ...

If we had an actual opposition party at the moment, its leaders would be holding press conferences right now to denounce this surrender and the plain truth that Trump is fully owned by Putin and clearly acting as a treasonous Russian asset.

We are literally racing against the clock to see if our baby can get fully vaccinated before RFK and his anti-vaccine death cult stop us. As far as I’m concerned, anyone who voted for this—that means Trump voters or voters for any of the GOP senators who confirmed RFK—tried to murder my baby.

A sick example of an abiding truth: Jews who hate Palestinians will also inflict violence on other Jews (whether by “mistake”, as here, or on purpose). This man is a terrorist, and I fully agree with CAIR that this racist schmuck should be hit with a hate crime enhancement.

Thinking about Elon, Trump and the rest of them, you want leaders who can look back on the newsreels of the 1930s and 1940s and viscerally know that the Allies were the good guys. Elon, Trump and they're big cronies don't see it that way.

As a centrist pundit for a major newspaper, I think it’s very important for us to find common ground with these Nazis so we can better understand their perspective. Also, as a centrist pundit, I find it extremely easy to do this, and wonder, without any curiosity at all, why so many refuse to try.

HYPOTHESIS: Current events can be explained trivially if Elon Musk's goal is to crash the US treasury bond market, driving investors into gold (a finite resource) and cryptocurrencies. It's a giant crypto play and the rug-pull is t-bills this time.

When Nazis say they want to "re-lay the foundations of civilization" you really don't want to know the source of the fly ash in the cinderblocks.
