DOJ withheld evidence from the grand jury which would possibly negate the charges against Letitia James.
Halligan claimed Hames was going to rent the property as a second home but James never rented it. She lived there.

BASH: So you'll only look into that side and not federal law enforcement?

The CDC literally fired its own disease experts by accident—including measles and Ebola teams—and is now scrambling to rehire them. This regime runs the government like it’s pressing CTRL+Z on humanity.

The President using the military as his personal police force to intimidate American citizens is deeply un-American. This is the behavior of an autocrat. Full stop.

1988 strike.

Ricardo Levins Morales Art Studio @rlmartstudio.bsky.social · 2h

This week in 1988: 1,000+ ACT UP demonstrators shut down the FDA headquarters, demanding (and eventually winning) action on developing HIV/AIDS treatments. ACT UP's militant and creative actions always included powerful visual artwork, and paved the way for movements in the decades to come.

A photograph from the 1988 ACT UP demonstration outside the FDA. Many people are participating in a die-in on the front steps, holding mock tombstones with messages like "RIP - killed by the FDA" and "Dead from lack of drugs." A line of police officers (some with classic 80s mustaches) wearing riot helmets stands between them and the building; one cop wearing white gloves is walking through the demonstrators. Affixed to the 2nd story windows of the building is a series of posters and a large blank banner reading Silence = Death.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Reason I wear a mask-
I like how my brain is without Covid entering it.
Covid is not a rhinovirus (cold).

Yes yes- you can have Covid with just a few sniffles, if that. But it’s your brain that’s your mst important organ…

Wear a mask in poorly ventilated places.

Protect your gray matter!
