It’s almost like my posts come from my experience teaching critical media analysis in my college composition courses or some shit and I’m not just whistling into the void for funsies

Sometimes, & i know this is tough to grasp, some people learn shit when you discuss it openly in a semipublic forum

Glad the troops are getting paid but the president should not have the power to do this. This is another usurpation of Congress’s power of the purse. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Three mass shootings in the same city on the same day. Mississippi had the highest gun death rate in the country in 2023! Maybe Trump should send his military troops there in violent red states and leave blue states, who finance red states, alone!

They have fired the staff of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, who are disease detectives that respond to outbreaks around the world.

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous it is to dismantle our disease surveillance infrastructure.

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)

"Who could have imagined nine years ago that the US would be zapping vessels suspected of drug-running, vast distances from American soil?
...Who said it was OK to fire at civilians who are not firing back?"

"Trickle down immunity" is now a big problem for the US military. And so for everyone else.

This is fascism. This is a police state. Masked men with guns in unmarked cars are driving through residential neighborhoods during the daytime looking to kidnap women and children.

Resist this. Never normalize this or else these fascists thugs
