Virginia State Senate Dems just brought down fire and fury regarding the β€œCompact,” notifying the President and Rector that UVA would lose ALL STATE APPROPRIATIONS if it signs and cedes the University to β€œfederal political control.” Notably, their letter directly restates points made here by @siva.

NOTE: Leavitt says Trump will "stop by for his routine yearly check up."

But…Trump had his annual check up already. 5 months ago. On April 11.

People are really into doomcasting on this fucking app. No, the Trump admin can't do *anything* they want, yet. If they could, they wouldn't be arguing in court. Stop ceding power to these fuckers that they don't have.

I have to agree: there is no better way to demotivate people for a mass rally than to require an email address (for various reasons). No Kings is really fucking up here by not even telling people where the various protests will be. You must make attending protests convenient.

Annual COVID Vaccines Save Lives, New Study Shows A new study shows that receiving an updated COVID vaccine reduced people’s risk of severe disease and death in all age groups, regardless of immunity from prior infection or vaccination

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

FFS, someone in the press corps needs to ask for detailed information about where these supposed bombed out areas are. This is no different than claiming the sky is lime green. And it's easy to check!

the 5% figure is all the more absurd when you realize how much of the population isn't eligible (e.g., 65 year-olds).

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

Look, it’s great that Metrorail is functioning so much better and is more reliable than it was 5-8 years ago.

But good grief, can we do something about the buses? This is commuter bus-level service,

I have no doubt things could get bad enough that the political opposition and civil society will start to seem suitably responsive to the threat. But that's precisely why they should be acting that way now. www.offmessage.net/p/the-median...
