seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

Julia Lynch @jlynch13.bsky.social · 4h

RFK is undoing human subjects protections so he can conduct placebo trials of vaccines. That means infecting people knowingly. I wonder who will “volunteer” for these trials? If history is any guide, a lot of incarcerated and other powerless people.

Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.

I'd never vote for Rand Paul, but on this issue he's absolutely correct. This is a clear and profound distinction. No declaration of war. No evidence of crime. What Trump & our military is doing is mass murder. It's no different than any mass-shooting of innocents – just with bigger (military) guns.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 5h

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

To everyone claiming there were no arrests at the "No Kings" rallies yesterday, this is simply not true.

No, a Trump supporter was arrested for trying to use a gun against people exercising their First Amendment rights. He was arrested and his tacky Jeep with Trump flags was towed.

When do you think Trump and Republicans will realize they drove up No Kings protest attendance by calling it a “hate America rally”?

She nails it🔥

The Trump Administration made a deal with El Salvador that threatened years of U.S. law enforcement work to fight MS-13 so they could send people to CECOT—one of the most inhumane prisons in the world.

Exclusive: In order to deport immigrants to El Salvador’s most notorious prison, Secretary of State Marco Rubio promised President Nayib Bukele to betray arrangements protecting some U.S. informants.

Me too. I was thrilled to see that they got in and are cooking food but I hope they don't run out soon. I know they had a place to store a bunch of food but I don't know if they still have the physical location to do that now.

For those asking after the woman who was arrested for wearing a penis costume to a No Kings protest in Fairhope, Alabama, @gambleganders.bsky.social says she was released after being charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

I told her I bet Bluesky could find her a lawyer!

Hey, looking for Antifa 800# so I can find a Civil Rights Attorney after my arrest at the Fairhope, AL No Kings protest.
Anyone have those digits?
