Trumper fascism is government by kayfabe. The fans know it's fake but they don't care. That's why the frog suit stuff doesn't work on the hardcore base. It probably doesn't need to. But the base knows that truth isn't necessary

They don't care that it's fake. They know. it's part of the kayfabe.

There's just nothing to back this up beyond Lay's marketing machine. It's just thin, credulous PR regurgitation by Fortune and the WSJ. Go look for yourself, it's wild.

Feels like the real story here is the corporate PR capture of journalism. We all love feeling superior, so we lap this shit up.

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.

Congratulations Paul, you get the Fell For It Again Award. Keep brainlessly regurgitating propaganda, buddy, I'm sure you'll go far with that.

She’s just a little girl from Gaza who dreams of having a meal again.
The war took her home, her toys, and now even food.
Every small act of kindness can fill her tiny plate with hope 🍞💔
Please keep her in your prayers and help if you can.

The mass firings at the CDC tonight drive home the fact that no one is coming to save us

But we can save each other

Wear a mask. Ideally a respirator like an N95

Even if you’re vaccinated. Even if you’re “not worried”

It protects you but it also protects everyone else

Bonus? Less colds & flus!

What The Trans?! 🏳️‍⚧️ @whatthetrans.com · 11h

I'm 24 years old. I have a mortgage and own my own home, and I have a full time job.

But under Cass' recommendations Levy, I wouldn't be trusted with hormones if he decides to consider it.

Shows how ridiculous it all is.

These new figures come in the wake of 2024's Cass Review of gender services for children, which recommended the creation of a 'follow-through service' for 17 to 25-year-olds. Cass said this would help "ensure continuity of care and support at a potentially vulnerable stage in a trans person's journey" and "allow clinical and research follow-up data to be collected". This sparked fears that access to healthcare, such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) would be restricted or even banned for under-25s -

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Azza. Before this Azza worked in a kindergarten and her husband owned a small coffee shop. They lost their home in the first two weeks of the war. They are trying to survive with their children Nisreen, 16, Layan, 14 and Ibrahim, 11.

153 kids are in quarantine in South Carolina.

118 kids in Minneapolis.

This is what happens when we ignore the science.

When we stop vaccinating, long eradicated diseases come back.

The kids deserve better than this. Measles can disable. It can kill. And it’s completely preventable.

Hundreds of U.S. students quarantined amid measles outbreaks

At least 270 unvaccinated kids are staying home from school as measles continues to spread nationwide. "Expect more," one expert said.

Standing up to fascism is always the right choice.

Rejecting censorship is always the right choice.

Fighting for marginalized and vulnerable communities is always the right choice.
