Every American should know the basics of our Founding, don’t you agree?

Very sad news, so sorry to hear of the passing of the great Diane Keaton. From Annie Hall to Reds, Manhattan, and The Godfather trilogy, so talented, gone too soon. #RIP #DianeKeaton #film #screen #cinema #legend

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

“More than 4000 public servants lost their jobs ….. The CDC now has no capacity to respond to emerging infectious threats [or] foodborne illnesses. There is no infrastructure to contain outbreaks or coordinate with local health officials.”

A must-read to understand how bad the CDC massacre was. ⬇️

For more information about the Friday night massacre at CDC, I wrote up an analysis of who got terminated and what that means for public health.

Grateful to @saveamericamvmt.bsky.social for supporting and amplifying. We are in really terrible trouble.

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.

I'm an atheist but I love Jesus in all his forms. Nothing in his message is incompatible with compassion, care and understanding regardless of your religious convictions. Rev. Black is proving that love indeed does overcome hate - it just takes longer than we want.
