The #1 risk to poor health, death, and disability is diet. Cutting back programs that supply food to Americans is counter to the concept of “making America healthy.” That data is readily available, I would think that someone in this admin could have easily made that connection. 🤨

We can't ignore facts:

A concentration camp is a facility where large numbers of people, often political prisoners or members of minority groups, are detained without legal process, typically under harsh conditions.

Just because people cringe at the word doesn't make it false.

Can we stop with the cutesy alliteration and call it what it is, a concentration camp?

Read this thread and the documents. This is heinous.

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use
2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use
3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them

This lives in my head rent free these days.

My God. Please make sure everyone you know knows this.

Stop with the cutesy names like Alligator Alcatraz or the Southern White House or Gulf of America. Stop using the names meant to change your reality. You’re acting like children. Be an adult. It’s not alligator Alcatraz. It’s not a tv show. It’s worse. And it’s damn sure not cute

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

Why does a congressman from TN give a shit about what NY is doing? How about he worries about the very real problems that his state deals with.

Re Zohran’s grocery store plans- the government already runs discount grocery stores ALL OVER THE WORLD.

They are called commissaries and they are on every US military base.

No one has ever had a problem with their existence

That man can only spew hate & division. Some day, history will remember him solely for his pettiness, his insults, his failures, his weakness, and his cruelties.

Becoming a Bodybuilder Taught Me Women Aren’t Meant to be Thin "We’ve been taught to disappear, but our true power lies in taking up space," writes Anne Marie Chaker.

Prehistoric human remains shows that women were buff--with a bone structure that resembled elite rowers. Bursts of the “return to skinny” have always surfaced at pivotal moments—right when women are on the brink of claiming more power. It’s no coincidence. time.com/7293999/body...

I just want to tend my garden and raise my chickens and read my books without having to worry about unstable men in power destroying everything. Why is that so much to ask?

I kind of wish more who think radically politically & act politically enjoyed fiction. It makes me sad to see folks only read theory & nonfiction. We need to gather what can only be gained by journeying with art. I think I'll provide recommendations for fiction that pairs well with the fight here.

Trump’s attack against Iran is illegal and immoral. And any leader who tells you otherwise is lying to you.

Nonfiction is great to educate in events and theory, and a great many other things as well. The beauty of fiction is that it allows you to experience something from a point of view different than your own and can teach a great depth of empathy.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Really you just have to take it one steady and unavoidable descent into utter madness at a time

and once again I ask - if not Gestapo, why Gestapo shaped?

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

I was born 150 years too late, because I could really go for a doctor sending me off to the seaside for some air and insisting I stay absolutely zootled on laudanum the whole time

It’s illegal in North Carolina (where this happened) to leave an animal in a hot car - it’s a class 1 misdemeanor. Breaking into said car by anyone other than authorized personnel is not allowed, but she didn’t break in. She opened an unlocked door.

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday.

This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.
