I’m A Doctor. The Things I’m Now Being Trained To Do In Trump’s America Are Terrifying.
“It was then I realized that I was being prepared to be a doctor in an emerging police state.”
I wrote this after doing a training on the Fourth and Fifth amendments to the Constitution, because, apparently, this is necessary to be a doctor under this regime. Grateful to @huffpost.com and, always, dream editor @noahmichelson.bsky.social for the platform.

She met with Gaza protesters. She also would never post an AI video of a Gaza vacation resort. She was demonstrably the better candidate for Gaza and you’re not a serious person for believing otherwise.

The part that really kills me about this whole “these government agencies need to answer to the American people” (aside from the fact that they’ve ALWAYS done that) is that the people being unceremoniously fired ARE, in fact, the American people.

What a gross perspective from the police chief. This is what it looks like when a community lacks the resources to adequately protect its children. The damage is done, who cares that they caught the poor woman? Punishing her won’t help her baby.

The new enddei.ed.gov website encourages US citizens to report any mentions of Diversity, Equity, or Inclusion.
My report was three words long, and it contained an imperative, a pronoun, and a noun. Please send in your own tip; I'm sure it'll be appreciated.

The image consists of two charts analyzing economic outcomes under different political scenarios.
The first chart is a line graph titled "A Trump Presidency Would Raise Prices for Americans." It shows different projected inflation trends under four political scenarios: "Harris & Divided Congress" (solid black line), "Republican Sweep" (dashed black line), "Trump & Divided Congress" (solid red line), and "Democrat Sweep" (solid blue line). The x-axis represents years from 2019 to 2028, while the y-axis represents an inflation measure, ranging from 1 to 7. The data shows inflation peaking around 2022 and declining afterward, with projections diverging after 2025, where the "Republican Sweep" and "Trump & Divided Congress" scenarios show slightly higher inflation than the "Democrat Sweep" and "Harris & Divided Congress" scenarios.
The second chart is a bar graph titled "Under a Harris Presidency, Employment Would Increase, While a Trump Presidency and a Republican Congress Would Cost Jobs." It represents changes in nonfarm payroll employment from 2025 to 2028 under four different political outcomes. The y-axis measures job changes in millions, ranging from -1 to 4. The "Harris & Divided Congress" scenario shows an increase of around 2.5 million jobs, the "Democrat Sweep" scenario shows the highest increase, close to 3 million jobs, the "Trump & Divided Congress" scenario shows a smaller increase of about 1 million jobs, and the "Republican Sweep" scenario shows a slight job loss.
The source for both charts is noted as "BLS, Moody’s Analytics." The charts use a beige background with black, red, and blue lines or bars to differentiate scenarios.
She tried to warn y'all. But her cackle.

Given that DEI policies don’t actually violate anti-discrimination laws, I’d just check yes and let them try to prove otherwise

In 2019, these Fox News nimrods opined about "Mexican countries."
Today, one of the nimrods is Secretary of Defense.

The director of the Office of Personnel Management is telling federal employees to inform on their DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility) colleagues by emailing “DEIAtruth@opm.gov.”
Gosh, it’d be a real shame if anyone else emailed that address.

He just comes across as so DUMB. This is why we’ve had such a push against intellectuals in the past decade. A smart populace would see right through him.

The image depicts a scene with a character in ornate historical clothing, exuding an air of superiority. The text reads: "Me not affected by the TikTok ban because I never even downloaded the app," suggesting a sense of detachment or pride in avoiding a popular trend.
It's not that big of a deal.

The handling of this situation has been a disaster. The post yesterday of Shou calling on Trump felt like another 'Kiss the Ring' moment.

If anyone needs to read it, this is the Neil Gaiman Vulture article without the paywall. Be warned, it’s a rough read.
