This is coming through loud and clear. Smdh. FDT.

You should also use *your* leverage.

🤔Seems like every US city with a significant Black population will get its own very expensive and completely unnecessary martial law occupation under this administration.

LA was first. DC is next.

I'm not even going to do another thread about how this doesn't decrease crime. You already know.

Someone forgot to take down this webpage:

Whatever you’ve been doing, STOP & LISTEN (read). This is happening on our soil in our name paid for with our tax dollars.
Every one of us should call our House members & Senators. 202-224-3121
And flood the call lines to Gov. DeSantis’ office: 850-717-9337

LEFT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has a tattoo in honor of a family member.

RIGHT: Where our government incarcerates a person who has facilitated and/or engaged in the sexual assault of over a thousand children.

Can you even imagine talking this much smack to a man WHO ALREADY BEAT YOU?!?!

Police officer dead after ‘antivax’ shooter targets CDC headquarters An active shooter was reported on the Emory University campus in Georgia. The suspect, who was killed, was said to have blamed his illness on the Covid vaccine

They spread the lie for years that public health professionals are enemies. Now, a policeman is dead, and the lives of CDC personnel and their kids were at risk.

There'll be "deep concern" and thoughts & prayers.

But architects of that lie will celebrate privately because this has been the goal.

Can we get together and listen to the dial up just one last time??

CDC Teams That Study Gun Violence and Collect Data Are Decimated by Layoffs The Trump’s administration’s cuts come after the field of gun violence research saw renewed federal support during the Biden era.

The first thing I thought of when I heard about today’s shooting at the CDC is how the Trump administration essentially demolished the CDC department responsible for gun violence research and prevention.

I honestly think 4% is low these days...

So basically they are going to look up how many black people were admitted in a given university and decide whether it’s too many. We all know they aren’t going to look at thousands of schools, so this is really about the Ivies…again.

There's no need to put torture in quotation marks here.
Solidarity confinement for more than two weeks has been legally recognized as torture.

NEW: Ayman Soliman is locally renowned for helping the families of dying kids.

Now, friends say he’s been "tortured" in isolation as the Trump administration tries to deport him.

There’s no words for the rage I feel when I think about RFK Jr’s decision to cut funding for this life saving research.

His anti-vaxx grift has already killed and disabled many people.

Measles is back. Covid is still here and still killing.

Now he’s basically siding with cancer.

If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research… I have nothing left to say to you. Please unfollow me.

Catastrophically gross.

The Ick is just overwhelming.

The more I learn the clearer it is that this administration is an existential threat to life and human dignity worldwide.

"We do not have unlimited money (FOR KEEPING PEOPLE ALIVE) in the United States."

Death? Punishment? Ego trips?
Unlimited.

This is a crisis and must be treated as such.

By slashing teams that gather critical data, the Trump administration has left the federal government with no way of understanding if policies are working — and created a black hole of information whose consequences could ripple out for decades.
