I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Looking across a pond on a cloudy fall morning towards some trees that have yellow and orange leaves. The trees are reflected in the water almost like a mirror.

Was hoping to see some eagles this morning, but while there weren't too many birds, there was some nice colors and clouds.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

"Pregnancy-related crimes." The rage supply in my spirit is apparently bottomless.

The islamaphobic, racist, xenophobic, ablelist, queerphobic Police State UK intensifies.

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

And pay close attention to how the cops were like 'case closed'

This was discovered through independent autopsy.

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.

Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

I know this sounds cruel but the cold hard fact is we need to appeal to more voters if we want to win elections. That’s why I argue that we need to dispense with purity politics and accept candidates who want to ban Ezra Klein from receiving medical care.

What the fuck?

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Mario Guevara

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you…

Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest.

The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

After 11 surgeries in 18 years, surviving cancer 2x, living w/Lupus & facing multiple health crises, I am NOT afraid to stand up to bullies & traitors to the constitution. I have faced my mortality more than once. I push myself way too hard, I know, but I also want to leave the world a better place.

As a government information librarian who archives a lot of federal web pages, I strongly recommend this approach. The Internet Archive and similar tools are great, but, as mentioned here, are imperfect tools and there is just too much uncertainty about continued access to federal resources.
