Most people aren’t masked, but a lot more are than in typical public spaces (or medical conferences), and if someone has symptoms it’s easy for them to test, mask, protect the people around them.

Shout out to #honkfest for being more COVID-aware and thoughtful than any medical conference I’ve attended (for musicians, it encourages testing before attendance, encourages masking in crowded indoor spaces, and actually offers high quality masks and COVID tests)

Mourning the destruction of the CDC today. This administration will be responsible for so much unnecessary death & illness.

BREAKING NEWS: CDC employees terminated in apparent Friday night massacre.

The Trump administration is using the shutdown to further weaken the our national public health infrastructure.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Calling No Kings a 'hate America rally' when having no kings was a precondition for having a United States of America

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

They make up lies about paid agitators doing violence, and attach them to the name of a prominent Jewish person. This is antisemitism, and it infects every part of the GOP.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

“No Kings” protest being billed as a hate protest is certainly…. Um pretty absurd rhetoric

Reposted by Natalie (prev “NanouTheNomad”)

Jack Jenkins @jackjenkins.me · 2d

Speaker Mike Johnson, standing next to Emmer here, urged Democrats less than a month ago to "turn down their rhetoric," saying, "Nazis and fascists is not helpful."

As such, striking to see him stand quietly as a fellow Republican insists there is a "terrorist wing" of the Democratic Party.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

Natalie (prev “NanouTheNomad”) @drnataliestahl.bsky.social · 3d

This is a very fair rule

Erin "Skeleton Factory" Ryan @eringloriaryan.bsky.social · 3d

Hey ladies, as a general rule if somebody can't describe what the placenta does, you should not be taking any pregnancy-related health advice from them.

Was telling my mom about $TRUMP today (though I still struggle to understand & explain cryptocurrency!) and we did the math that if we made $500K/year it would take us 10,000 years to earn $5 billion which is… a long time.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan
