I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Good morning and happy Monday to everyone. How to join Antifa in less time than it takes to read the next sentence.

Do you oppose fascism?

I think the only thing Chief Justice John Roberts and I both enjoy is a gay dinner party on Martha's Vineyard. Glory!

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

That's not pointed out nearly enough, probably no longer taught in grade school.
My money is on the percentage of non-indigenous Americans not knowing why indigenous Americans are called "Indians" is waaaay north of 50%.
Ignorance has become The American Way.

💣CDC Cuts💥
Even with some staff having their firing rescinded, CDC has been deeply damaged by the cuts from 🧠🪱 that remain intact. We do not have a complete list as this was done in secrecy. 🧵

The entire CDC Washington office is gone. This is the office that informs and advises Congress, whose members represent the American people. 🇺🇸

Bobby has erased anyone in DC who can speak for CDC officially. 🙉🙈🙊

Also cut, every office that protects YOUR data from abuse. The Privacy Office, the IRB, Tech Transfer, Public Records. These should be the LAST office to be cut.

What is Bobby planning that he has eliminated every ethics check and protection on Americans’ health data? 🚨🚨🚨

The entire HR office is gone. The Office of Human Resources reviews conflicts of interest. They would raise concerns as Bobby continues to put anti-vaccine nutjobs in CDC roles they are utterly unqualified for.

The Prion and Public Health Office is gone. They monitor and investigate CJD (“mad cow” disease). Prion diseases are rare and fatal and critical to investigate before they infect our food supply.

We knew Bobby had sold out to Big Ag but we think his puppet masters should rethink this one.

For anyone still fired that we missed, let us know! We know there are many more but there is no HR office to ask.

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈
