Dr. Dmitri Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC says that RFKJr said he believes that Avian flu should be allowed to "burn through" the chickens and then children and others, so we can propagate a "stronger species". RFKJr believes in eugenics.

RFKJr needs to resign or be fired.

That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.

The right has been on a campaign of violent political terror for decades, what was remarkable about the murder of the United Health CEO was that the political violence broke containment from their ideological uses. Abortion clinic bombings. Oklahoma City. Atlanta Olympic Park. Sikh temple shooting.

I wrote quite a lot about how the left’s hateful rhetoric fueled the killings of the healthcare CEO and Israeli embassy staffers. I’m going to either ignore this weekend’s assassinations in Minnesota or maybe write something both siding them.

ICE is the Gestapo. Centrist media said that the leftist call to “Abolish ICE” was out of touch and ridiculously unrealistic.

But if we ever get democracy back ICE and everyone in it has to go. We can’t have a reformed ICE. “Gestapo Lite” or “Cool Ranch Stasi” won’t be supportable.

Shout out to Jeffrey Goldberg for reporting on this now instead of waiting two years to put it in a book.

Trump and Elon are turning the country into an MLM scam.

Can we poison RFK jr’s roadkill or something?

We got there! Together, we raised over $564,000 for

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

You and me both sister.

When you’ve been led to believe that the evidence, the better argument, the sound logic should prevail, and that you have to study and train and hone your thinking just to be taken seriously and then…you wake up to this shit every single day?

I’m finding that challenging.

They just stole fema money back from NYC. comptroller.nyc.gov/newsroom/sta...

Trump and Elon just stole $80 million of already disbursed FEMA funding out of NYC’s bank account comptroller.nyc.gov/newsroom/sta...

In addition to this being loser shit—they have a THREE SEAT majority in the House—do we imagine that saying stuff like "What leverage do we have?" during an unprecedented crisis will inspire more people to support Dems?

Omg this season of Bad Sisters is so good.

@ndhapple.bsky.social They’re STILL short-turning L trains on weekends at Union Sq! Given that the elevators and 6-7 Av ramp are fully completed, I have to wonder if they didn’t just cut subway crew schedules a while ago to be accommodating of delays in the work and never brought them back

That, but also bird flu is spread all over the world by migrating waterfowl (who are largely immune.) All cows have to do is be outside where infected waterfowl are pooping.

We are eventually going to be endemic here for bird flu and are going to have to vaccinate like China.

I just submitted my application to a private vet school in the Caribbean that accepts my existing credentials as prerequisites.

I would have to get private loans to be able to go. Which isn’t likely. Most people who go have parents who co-sign for them. But I do want to try.

I’ve been trying to find a way to describe what Musk is doing to the government. He’s not taking orders from the White House, he’s not pursuing any kind of consistent ideological project other than wreaking havoc. He’s not following any laws and appears to exist outside any other authority.

The horror of this moment derives partially from the fact that it *is* being thoroughly reported, and you are being given an hour-by-hour summary of the crimes. You know precisely what is going on, and that knowledge does not confer even the barest sense of political agency.

It’s been widely reported that Musk is only loosely communicating with Trump.

January 6 = Beer hall putsch
Project 2025 = Mein Kampf
Taking over Gaza = Invasion of Poland

Were you a fan of the US military involvement in Vietnam? Welcome to the sequel brought to you by Trump: the US invasion of Gaza.

Wasn’t the outrage over Hillary Clinton’s private email server at home the possibility that it *might* contain sensitive information?

But now South African Michael Scott can just install a commercial server at OPM to scoop it all up?
