I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

that's how i saw it too!!! the first act of the real mima, for real this time (/real)

you couldn't waterboard this confession out of me

Can we help this beautiful family today?

not only is this purported libertarian man a feminist in words AND action, but he never once shows a sliver of creepiness toward underage girls.

interrupting my own progress on 3 different writing projects to blast out a 4000 word screed about how ron swanson was a liberal wet dream of a species of libertarian that has never existed in america and never will

I'm not sure how poorer districts in any state will be able to stomach the costs from IEPs. I expect disability support staff (i.e. paraprofessionals) may be furloughed.

I've yet to see this properly analysed from a psychological point of view. Obviously RFK is a nut, but there's also a broader pattern in the GOP ranks that seems deeply peculiar, of wanting positively to welcome the threat of disease and death. It feels like a collective psychosis.

some of it is eugenic thinking — the MAHA agenda overlaps with the historically American form: quackery, miracle cures, “better genes” coupled to “better morals”

NEW: @CDCgov hit hard by massive firings that several staff describe to me as a “bloodbath.”
Among those RIFd:
—leadership of the center for immunization and respiratory diseases;
—leadership of global health center
—leadership of the measles outbreak response; 1/4

if you repost AI slop, even to make fun of it, you're part of the problem. catch this block

i don't want to see this shit man

What drives me nuts about this dialogue: diversity and inclusion training was a corporate response to the statutory requirements civil rights laws. None of these laws have been repealed by Congress. Congress can pass the laws under Section 5 of the 14th Amendment, which has also not been repealed.

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!

This isn’t funny. Judges only speak to the press when they’re in extreme distress

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.

Alaa and her daughters have lived to see a ceasefire, but they are still in dire need of assistance. They have only managed to navigate displacement, genocidal violence, and her daughter's deteriorating health with the help of donations. Let's help them continue to endure.

Azza has had a campaign for a while and been able to raise no money on it- let’s help her rebuild ❤️

This nails a lot on the head: we know with extreme deskilling & poor education that sadly a non negligible number of people are NOT experts at anything. This causes an easy to predict vicious cycle where the use of chatbots causes more of a loosening of these vulnerable people's grip on reality.

And now Stonewall National Monument under Trump has erased the very thing she fought for.

Love the support, Zohran. Thanks, sincerely.

I don't know that I ever thought I'd see a cis politician say Sylvia and Marsha's names, let alone one advocate for continuting the work they were part of. Thank you, Zohran, maybe a world that doesn't want us dead is possible?

okay maybe it's the soundtrack or my broken psyche but this made me genuinely weepy. NOBODY talks about trans youth homelessness in public office. goddamn

love the music choice! SOPHIE would approve <3
