I hate when people tell other people to just move...

I've heard it said to people living under oppression in red states...

Most oppressed people can't afford to just uproot their entire life and go someplace else...

And where are they going to go?

People are coming here daily for a better life.

“Americans should just up and leave” yall are so out of touch with working class Americans if you think ppl who can barely afford groceries. Can afford to just up and move to a new country.

You could just talk about Jim Crow. I promise you, there's no need to leave America's shores to talk about life in a fascist state

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 5d

Under the Third Reich, most Germans generally lived in the law-bound normative state, while Jews and other disfavored people were victims of the arbitrary and violent prerogative state.

The dual state is characterized by the facade of normalcy obscuring the fact of an authoritarian state.

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.

Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

The acting CDC director has finally signed off on the vaccine advisory panel's recommendations for the COVID vaccines.

While the CDC is trying to sell this as a win for antivaxxers, in reality this means that COVID vaccines will be more accessible than they have been in recent weeks.

CDC Immunization Schedule Adopts Individual-Based Decision-Making for COVID-19 and Standalone Vaccination for Chickenpox in Toddlers

ATLANTA—October 6, 2025— The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) today updated its adult and child immunization schedules to apply individual-based decision-making to COVID-19 vaccination and recommend that toddlers receive protection from varicella (chickenpox) as a standalone immunization rather than in combination with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination.The immunization schedules adopt recent recommendations by the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which were approved last week by Acting Director of the CDC and Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services Jim O’Neill. The schedules will be updated on CDC.gov by October 7, 2025.

As a result of our lawsuit, immigrant families can still access Head Start's early education and child care services.

The Trump administration can't pick and choose who's eligible for this vital program based on the president's anti-immigrant agenda.

Federal Judge Blocks Trump Effort to Bar Some Immigrant Families From Head Start

A federal court stopped the administration’s attempt to exclude some immigrant children from the nation’s largest early childhood education program, protecting millions of families while the case continues.
