Yes, a Nazi study on African children - what could go wrong? /s

Kennedy Plan to Test a Vaccine in West African Babies Is Blocked

NEW: Kennedy's plan to study Hep. B vaccine in African babies has been suspended by Guinea-Bissau. Experts say the trial is unethical in a nation where 1 in 5 kids are exposed to Hep. B, which can take decades off their lives. HHS: the trial is "paused."

This is tomorrow’s front page for The Minnesota Star Tribune. In a moment in which much of legacy media are enabling and condoning the worst actions of the Trump admin, the reporters and editors of the Star Tribune are not holding back one bit.

VK is Russian - I don't think Putin is interested in shutting it down.

I monitored Nazi terror Telegram channels from 2019 to 2022 or so and it's hard to overstate the degree to which DHS's X account mimics the tone, aesthetic, voice, and language of those cess pits.

Whoever is running socials for them has obviously spent a lot of time in that space.

Former members of ICE say recent violence is "by design" "What has changed is there has been an encouragement from the top to be much more aggressive in enforcement."

ICE officers tell media that the conduct in Minneapolis is part of a plan by Stephen Miller to provoke as much violence and death as possible—which in turn will be taken as pretext for more. “They’re essentially operating now in a resource constraint-free environment and doing very dangerous things”

They can choose to start eating whenever they want to. No one is stopping them from eating.

Since homeopathic "medicines" are just water, they cannot help people with sarcoidosis.

If you're posting links to porn, don't bother following me, because I'll block you.

Given today's news cycle about young far right extremists in the GOP, it's worth noting that one historical asymmetry between the two parties is that while young leftists have usually avoided involvement with the Dems, young far rightists have long worked inside the GOP. bsky.app/profile/seth...

I gotta admit…the extent to which institutions are capitulating or obeying in advance is surprising & demoralizing. At the same time, the extent to which ordinary people are like FUCK THIS is quite inspiring.

The people of this great nation aren’t acting like they’re going to be ruled anytime soon.

Two really easy blocks, if y’all haven’t got them blocked already…

We live in a country where moms and 7-year-olds are taken from New York to Texas detention centers with no warning, no lawyer, no time to act. My son is 7 coño! . Stop the nonsense—this isn’t nothing new, it’s everything we’ve seen before happening all at once, faster and harsher. #Pinks

It’s much more nefarious than that. They want the genocide if Jews and eventually if Muslims too bc their “globalists” trope about Jews have them believing Jews control the world. They believe if they rid the world of Jews they will take control of world and it will spark global revolution to 1/

“I just couldn’t vote for genocide” is actually just delusions of heroism. You’re not a hero for enabling the worsening of the world, you fucking morons.

I hope you all fall head first off your moral high horses.

You can’t continue to hide behind the “I couldn’t vote for her because of genocide” thing when people are now being snatched off the street and disappeared or placed in concentration camps built IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY.

Find a new talking point. This one just proves you’re a god damn idiot.

Protect this sister.

Cause you know the Watermelon Gang will make her an enemy of progressives.

This is astonishing.

The government has been using these crowd control techniques for several years against Israelis protesting the judicial reform and the war, and for longer than that against Haredim, and of course Israeli Arabs.

The absolute worst case scenario.

I agree, but there's no reason Pam Bondi or the DOJ should be involved.

Bizarre DHS Social-Media Strategy: Something to White Home About Contempt, cruelty, and weaponized sentimentality.

"There are fourteen words in the tweet, and two words beginning with 'h' are capitalized...a law professor in Illinois named Evan Bernick wrote that 'there is literally Nazi code' in DHS’s post." In that context, HH stands for what you think it does.

I also thought of that terrifying article.

Why? What is the rationale? Medical research benefits everyone - Republicans, Democrats, liberals, conservatives, etc etc. Is Vought religiously opposed to medicine like the Christian Scientists?

This is frightening.

Things were fine, the economy was strong. They created chaos and turmoil, so now supposedly they alone can fix it.

Democracies do not use their military to try and intimidate their own citizens with “shows of presence”.

This is fascism.

I don't know what my students' SAT scores are and I don't care. And I certainly don't care what a candidate's SAT scores were - they're totally irrelevant.
