Once it was mostly a taco website. Now it’s covering L.A. ICE raids. L.A. Taco has become a formidable media outlet amid the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown and the resulting protests.

LA Taco has been doing such PHENOMENAL work and I’m so glad they are getting this type of write-up. If you live in LA, support them with a membership if you can.

If you think abortion information isn’t being censored, think again. Advocates have had their accounts suspended and posts removed. It’s time to fight back. #StopCensoringAbortion

Damn it's time to blast some motherfucking Sheryl Crow. She has some real jams. She has the guts to be a Tesla owner who turned hers in & said you know what, I'm not driving Elon's Nazi machine, & I'm giving the money to public media he wants to defund.

Video: Aid workers in Thailand laid off after USAID cuts | CNN CNN’s Ivan Watson visited an aid clinic on the Thailand-Myanmar border, which received almost 20% of its funding from the US, until the Trump administration’s cuts to USAID.

my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator

The US healthcare system is no longer safe. Without a strong CDC we can’t control new pathogen outbreaks in our hospitals or benchmark infection rates to prevent surgical infections or pneumonias

There is no “private” solution that can make it safe

Every hospital CEO should be speaking up

Back at the SNF that doesn’t allow incontinence pads today. Tomorrow back at the 15k/m facility that serves alcohol to memory care patients but doesn’t have gloves, incontinence pads, wipes, or lifts.

sure would be wild if someone were to upload these studies to scihub and or ao3

Every press outlet

@nytimes.com
@washingtonpost.com
@latimes.com

Even Fox, OAN and Breitbart

Should walk out of the next White House press briefing to protest this action

And show Trump that without press coverage-and the publicity that comes with it

He is nothing

The Trump administration has stopped work at the CFPB. Here's what the agency does It's the main U.S. agency tasked with overseeing the financial products and services used by everyday Americans. The CFPB's new head has closed its offices and told staff to stay home.

If you've ever wondered what the CFPB does . . .

"An independent bureau within the Federal Reserve, the CFPB's job is to ensure that the financial products and services offered to American consumers are fair and transparent."

"On a beam in Brecht’s study are the words: 'Truth is concrete.' On a window-sill stands a small wooden donkey which can nod its head. Brecht has hung a little sign round its neck: 'Even I must understand it'."

I cannot believe I am doing this, but actually, the Nazis persecuted Jewish scientists and rejected their discoveries as "Jüdische Physik" in contradistinction to proper "Deutsche Physik," and this did in fact hobble Nazi science. Even the history here is bunk!

They are going to ignore court orders.

If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect.

It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.

every professional writer i know is an absolute pervert for em dashes but go on

I understand bad moods, I understand lashing out, I understand shitty days and reactivity.
I don’t understand systematically undermining other people’s confidence and opportunities to connect with other people and consistently being discreetly vicious for prolonged periods of time.

I passed up a well paid shift this am to do this meeting that I now have to reschedule.
The FUNNIEST part was when my instructor told me to go take the form to preceptor at the hospital. She doesn’t fucking LIVE at the hospital, you twat.

(One red flag about her aside from how she treated me was, she’s been contemplating another baby but she has one son and she was worried that she might have another and thus would end up with TWO daughters in law.
I’m not joking, I heard this worry at least six times.)

The final eval with her and instructor was today. Even tho I sent her a pdf of the final page yesterday asking her to sign it and send it back to me, she didn’t.
Checked in this am to remind her like she asked: she’s at her son’s swim class.

But last week was my final day and I thought I was done with her. She left early and left my paperwork at the charge desk and like a FOOL I didn’t check to make sure she signed it, bc why wouldn’t she sign it? That would be ridiculous!
She didn’t sign it.

My capstone has been hellish in the petty, cruel way that seventh grade girls can be. From sighing deeply the few times she let me do something before taking it out of my hands “bc you’re too slow”, to physically standing in front of me in groups of people so that I was blocked from the conversation

I had pretty good preceptors thru most of nursing school, and even the bad ones didn’t take it out on ME, so I never felt bullied until my capstone.

Thousands protest against Trump’s war on immigrants after Ice raids: ‘Fight for our neighbors’

People have gathered outside USAID HQ for press event with Democratic Congressmen Beyer, Raskin, Connolly and Olzewski and Senator Van Hollen where they're addressing the building's mysterious shutdown today in the midst of the Trump admin dismantling the agency.

(Photos shared with me)

Hey in case nobody else noticed, today Trump released a shit ton of the water reserves in California. He claims it will address fire. It will, in fact, fuck everything, bc the winter here is the wet season. The summer will come and there will be no water reserved.
