He wasted time by going to an ivermectin clinic first soโ€ฆ Iโ€™m just hoping that no one who didnโ€™t make that detour is getting pushed aside for him to cut in front.

People in Chi & other places having Whistlemania events (or u can do this solo if ur an introvert!) Buy whistles to alert folks to ICE activity & you can print out KYR fliers & legal info & make it into a packet (lots of places to distribute these incl bars stores Little FreeLibrary etc).

Charlie Kirk spent his lifeโ€˜s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and weโ€™re now not supposed to mention that because itโ€™s not polite.

It is possible to hold both of these things true at the same time:

1) political violence is never an appropriate choice in a civilized society

2) Charlie Kirkโ€™s dream is to create exactly the kind of society he currently lives in, as spoken from his own mouth

Post from President Trump on Truth Social:

Six people were killed, and 24 people were shot, in Chicago last weekend, and JB Pritzker, the weak and pathetic Governor of Illinois, just said that he doesnโ€™t need help in preventing crime. He is CRAZY!!! He better straighten it out, FAST, or weโ€™re coming! MAGA. President DJT

The fun part is that even when the department functioned better, you couldnโ€™t get a new SSN unless you could show a serious pattern of people abusing your number. Under this admin, Iโ€™m pretty sure weโ€™re all fucked regardless.

Oโ€™Neill, unlike Monarez, has no training in medicine or infectious disease science. He is a former speechwriter for the health department, during the Bush years, who went on to work for the tech investor and conservative megadonor Peter Thiel.

During the Covid pandemic, Oโ€™Neill voiced public support for unproven treatments that were not supported by scientific evidence, including ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, as well as vitamin D as a supposed โ€œprophylaxisโ€.

He also posted a number of conspiratorial theories on social media, including the baseless claim that โ€œthe name #COVID was chosen to conceal the origin of the virus. This name made it harder to study and probably slowed the response.โ€

This is the cost of the Senate filibuster: the last time the House, Senate and POTUS were all under D control (2020 - 2022) the House passed bills to eliminate gerrymandering and give DC statehood. The Senate did nothing on either in spite of having majority support. And so here we are.

I walk back to my apt every night after votes. Other than Jan 6, I've never felt unsafe in DC. Then again, I don't hang out with Gaetz, Jordan, nor the convicted felon at 1600 Pennsylvania. But if that's your statistical sample I can see how you might erroneously extrapolate this way.

NEW: the Trump admin has moved to terminate TPS for Honduras and Nicaragua, covering over 50,000 people

Both of these designations date back to 1999, meaning Trump wants to strip legal status from people here legally who have had a background check every 18 months for the last 26 years.

Why the Powerful Fear Mamdani Zohran Mamdani Is Winning the Class War And the Elites Are Shook

In a political moment defined by cowardice, Zohran Kwame Mamdani is standing his ground, heโ€™s gaining momentum, & heโ€™s showing us how to win by unapologetically fighting for the working class.

But will the Democratic Party come to its senses and follow his lead?

1. This is incredible, harrowing reporting.

Religion aside: I'm not sure folks outside of religion reporters understand how peculiar it is that GHF is now run by Johnnie Moore.

Moore is a PR professional mostly known for assembling and orchestrating Trump's evangelical advisers in his first term.
