Trump administration cuts Oregon DeafBlind program over Portland schools' DEI support Over 100 deaf and blind Oregon students could lose services after federal funding was axed over diversity program concerns.

Why would you cut funding for programs serving the deaf and the blind while benefitting to the wealthiest 0.1%? If we look for comparable cases, we see that this is exactly what governments obsessed with eugenics always do. The deaf and blind are to disappear, not to be mainstreamed into society.

We have become an authoritarian state, and our top newsrooms are in denial | Press Watch The frog in the proverbial pot is dead.

The top story of the moment is the one story that our most influential newsrooms won’t touch: That the United State has become an authoritarian state. At some point, the evidence becomes overwhelming — and we have reached that point. The frog in the metaphorical pot of water has boiled to death.

Chartbook 403 Trump as a Gulliver ... with no clothes. It is hard to make sense of Trump’s understanding of international trade and tariffs according to any conventional rationale.

Adam Tooze looks at the delusional nonsense that masquerades as trade policy in the Trump era. No economists take it seriously because it isn't.

We are run by lunatics. How will we emerge from this?

Climate change is without doubt the greatest threat to humanity. It’s not a future problem it’s a today problem. We’re already observing our planet warming at an ever increasing rate and that our weather is becoming more extreme, i.e more extreme droughts & more extreme flash flood events.

Peaceful protesters were attacked and arrested in Cincinnati for standing up for an asylum seeker who faces death if deported.

Police ignored actual threats and targeted people with signs and cameras. Some of them journalists.

This is what repression looks like.

The Trump regime is arresting protesters now. This was the plan all along | Will Bunch Federal felony charges against nine ICE protesters in Spokane reveal how Trump's secret police are expanding their web.

Will Bunch: Free the Spokane 9. Largely ignored in a small market, this week's federal indictment of 9 anti-ICE protesters in Washington state, including a former council president, shows how far the Trump regime will go to crush dissent. This was always the plan. www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Trump deploys National Guard to LA amid immigration protests In a controversial move, Donald Trump has authorized 2,000 National Guard troops to assist with federal deportation operations in Los Angeles without the consent of California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Far smarter take on the situation here from Ian Bremmer than we see on US cable, which ranges from totally hysterical and lacking any actual basis in fact (Rupert Murdoch TV), to half-hysterical (Jack Tepper) to something coming closer to actual journalism (ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS).

RFK Jr. ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has removed every member of a scientific committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to use vaccines.

RFK Jr ousts entire CDC vaccine advisory committee so he can replace them with quacks and charlatans.

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
