In WAR, it’s considered a WAR CRIME to TARGET MEDICS. ⛑️

Apparently, POLICE aren’t held to that BASIC STANDARD. 🤬

What I Saw in LA Wasn’t an Insurrection. It Was a Police Riot. As Trump mobilizes the marines to quell an “insurrection” in LA, it’s essential to be clear about how the protests started and what actually happened.

As marines descend on LA, as Trump moves closer and closer to martial law, it will be tempting to victim-blame. To equivocate. To find some reason the protesters deserve what’s coming. They don’t.

Trump announces that any American who dares to protest his $45 million birthday military parade on Saturday will be met with "very heavy force."

I think it would be better if the protests happened anywhere BUT his stupid idiot-ass parade.

He’s just trying to get people to actually come and make him look important.

His birthday means nothing to anyone but him.

Republicans’ SAVE Act strips away centuries of progress to make sure women & people of color can vote.

This bill would make it harder to vote—especially for married women, servicemembers & their families abroad, working parents, and low-income people.

We won’t go back.

Photo of a wall from a sidewalk plastered with several repeating memes - the Shiba Inu doge dog with caption "it's not the dept of government efficiency", picture of dollar bills with "it's lining their pockets", and several of Musk and Trump saying "it's not budgeting" and "theyre not saving our tax dollars". One with a cracked egg saying "it's not about lowering your costs"

I knew this would happen, but it's still surreal to hear another nation's leader talk to us in a televised address the way US presidents have historically spoken to the citizens of countries led by dictators and despots.

I would hope this is in relation to Mexico; Trump has talked about strikes into Mexico. But it's not clear. This is where we are

Is Musk's Ketamine use so bad that he has to wear those sunglasses constantly?

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.”

There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

NIH ban on renewing senior scientists adds to assaults on its in-house research Policy follows firings of tenure-track scientists and suspension of training programs

Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world.

And there it is: Doors are open for kleptocracy in America

Me!!!! I do!!! I agree!!!!

So, a billionaire and a convicted felon team up to take over the world — helped by a guy who had a brain parasite, a retired football player, a reality TV star, and the mean girl from Catholic school, who failed geography.

Lord, have mercy…
Are we all caught up, now?!

MLK Now - Boston Review Canonization has prevented a reckoning with the substance of King’s intellectual, ethical, and political commitments.

Dr. King saw that Du Bois “did not content himself with hurling invectives for emotional release & then retire into smug, passive satisfaction.”

“It is not enough for people to be angry,” he argued; “the supreme task is to organize & unite people so that their anger becomes a transforming force.”

America? You’ve not been the best neighbour recently, but I’m still concerned. That guy you said could come into your house to do some work? Not sure if you are aware, but he’s let a bunch of other people in who appear to be cleaning you out. You might want to get on that, while there’s still time.

I see some people have nostalgia about the 90s and I swear they lived in a different 90s than me.
