A reminder:

This isn’t ideology
This isn’t incompetence
This isn’t business as usual
This isn’t temporary
This isn’t normal
This isn’t ethical
This isn’t legal
This isn’t meant to be popular
This isn’t meant to be good for anyone

This has been a strategic attack against the U.S.

Act accordingly

When leadership hides, the reason is no good

Supreme Court reverses lower court rulings while hiding behind the shadow docket

Congressional Rs hide from press and negotiations, hide on vacation, then hide from constituents

The administration hides their intentions

Trump hides from accountability

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

Wow! This would be a good weekend to make sure that you and your kiddos are up to date with vaccines

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.

My former political party is scared to death of these #NoKings rallies. That’s great. So let’s have a gazillion Americans out rallying all around the country on October 18th! Let’s scare the shit out of Trump & his party.

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.

It really feels like one of the purposes of AI video is to get us to a point where no video we see on social media and no photograph can be trusted or assumed to be true, and we fully enter a post-truth world.

Truth is used to fight oligarchs, so they seek to destroy truth itself.

“The country’s grid operator says shifting from coal to clean power is not only possible but inevitable.“

“This is not a climate-zealot kind of approach. Our old coal-fired power stations are… getting replaced by the least-cost energy, which is renewable energy.”
