When tyranny comes, where are all the people who said they needed all the big guns because of the 2A? Turns out the tyranny is coming from the right and...

crickets.

At least the UK papers are reporting the truth. US media is afraid to anger Trump www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

Two weeks ago, on a road trip, we passed through War Ravaged Portland. We moved fast for fear of our lives, so we didn’t see much.

Here’s what we saw.

When Trump calls climate change a "con job," he is representing his fossil fuel billionaire friends, not science.
Β 
Climate change is REAL. It is an existential threat to the planet and future generations.

We must transform our energy systems away from fossil fuels.

Trump's autism announcement mangled evidence. But the backlash seems a bit much?

A researcher on studies finding NO link has also been a paid expert in lawsuits. And I would caution against relying on judges to decide where the strongest evidence lies.

β€œIn her essay on campus free speech, Laura Ann Rosenbury claims to favor β€œdisagreeing better” and respectful engagement with β€œthe widest possible spectrum of views.” But the essay glosses over her own actions as Barnard College’s president for the last two years.”

That’s right

Did we all take organic chemistry & the MCAT & miss the social part of our early 20’s and work 80 hours a week for 3+ years for the brain worm guy who doesn’t know what a p-value is to destroy our nation’s public health system? No.

Time to lean into our expertise and speak up.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

My mother also put me in cold baths to lower my very high fever when I had measles in 1964. I was only 6 yrs old but can still remember how miserable I felt. Had a vaccine been available them my Mother would be first in line.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

You can see the fascist lie in real time. They will simply claim a tie between leftist activists and Kirk DESPITE THAT NOT EXISTING and therefore define all leftist activism as terrorism. It’s an insane backwards lie, but that’s what they’re doing.

NEW: Shame on the Wall Street Journal for moving forward without details about their single-source reporting on this. The ATF is now saying the "internal law enforcement memo" about "transgender and anti-fascist ideologies" has NOT been verified and DOES NOT match their information.

I have friends from Nepal on the TPS visa which ends in August. They came after the 2015 earthquake from the Langtang region where entire villages were destroyed and thousands died. They have raised children here, bought houses, made good lives and now are returning to nothing.

I got chicken pox at the age of 32 and ended up hospitalized. We didn't have a vaccine when I was a child in the 1960s.

Big news: California, Oregon and Washington State just announced a joint "West Coast Health Alliance" to counter Trump/RFK destruction of our public health system.

As I argued last week (see below), this is becoming a new frontier in Dem Gov resistance to Trump.

I was shocked to be honest. I booked the appt online then called CVS to double check because It seemed too easy to be real. Wishing you luck!
