As usual, the Trump administration is disingenuous. The people participate out of love.

>”It begs the question of who’s funding it.”

To account for the lavish self-funding of my own #NoKings participation: poster board cost me about $8.00 at Staples, I already had Sharpies, and gas downtown and back runs maybe a buck & a half. Same with my friends. I feel like we’re all mini-Soroses.

Conservative Christians seem to have removed the entire New Testament and Jesus from their bibles. They are the modern day scribes and Pharisees that Jesus rebuked in the Gospels.

If you're with ICE, you'd have been with the Nazis.

It's that simple.

Bird flu is coming for us.

The newsletter from agricultural producer news site WATT Poultry is now a primary source of my anxiety. H5N1 is exploding in North American poultry. Every day, a headline like this.

But no human cases. Either there aren't any or there's no testing. Given CDC's dismantling, I can guess.

Headline: "Avian flu invades flock of nearly 2 million Washington hens"

Survivors guilt is a real thing. I think many of us are experiencing it. Personally I haven’t experienced any hardship yet but it still shreds my soul to see what is happening. Anyone with any amount of compassion or integrity is affected by it all. If we stop feeling it then our humanity is lost.

Yes, this.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

The Trump administration hates children.

Trump is a hypocrite. He shouldn’t have gotten vaccinated if his administration is against them. Let him suffer the consequences just like everyone he is punishing.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

I love social media snark. It’s good to have it back.

And restore the CDC and other departments that research and develop knowledge, cures, and ways to protect our health.

They aren’t Christians. They are Christian nationalists. There is a big difference. Real ones promote love and mercy to people, the other wants to control and punish people.

Thousands of hard working, dedicated American civil servants are having their lives upended by an evil heartless despot and supposed Christian.
