If this administration can pluck random people off the street and deport them without due process β€” none of us are safe.

The average American is probably* sticking their head in the sand, either because the news is too depressing, or because nobody understands how to get accurate information anymore.

The American Medical Association is urging the public to get vaccinated against the measles:

"Measles is extremely contagious and can cause life-threatening illness. There is no cure or specific antiviral treatment for measles. Vaccination remains the best defense against measles infection."

After tRump’s speech last night, many commentators asked why, if he and Musk are looking for efficiencies, they fired a lot of people working on government efficiency. They don’t yet understand that Mump doesn’t care if government is efficient; in fact, he’d be fine if it didn’t exist at all.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

@maddow.msnbc.com I think a lot of politicians are publicly supporting trump β€” or not opposing him β€” because they’re afraid for their lives. 19-year-olds join the military every day and are willing to die for our country. Why aren’t the politicians willing to make the same sacrifice?

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

"The increase to Musk's wealth since Trump was elected president three months ago is greater than all of the American aid given to Ukraine over the last three years."-- @timothysnyder.bsky.social
