I don’t know how medical professionals are going to be able to treat patients without the information they require from the CDC. The CDC is sometimes our only warning system about certain diseases.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

“There's been a responsibility for world leaders including Canada to uphold International Humanitarian Law and that doesn't simply go away at the flip of a switch or the announcement of a peace agreement,” says @sana.msf.ca, Executive Director of MSF.

LOL! I’m certain the Nobel committee never considered him whatsoever but the fact he wanted it so badly makes the snub all the sweeter. 😂

Many have noticed a pattern that on the days Russia attacks Ukraine the worse, Donald Trump goes on social media and thanks Putin. This has happened repeatdly.

While Trump is busy licking his wounds in public, this week his loyalist have fought tooth and nail to prevent the US congress from releasing the Epstein files and have declared anti-fascism terrorism punishable by arbitrary arrest or assassination.

🐸“You look at Portland and you see fires all over the place,” Trump said. “You see fights, I mean, just violence. It’s so crazy.…It’s so crazy. It’s like the movies you see for the kids, where you have these bombed-out cities and these bombed-out people.”🐸

We live in a country where the government honors insurrectionists who sacked the Capitol, and defines peaceful protest, even before it occurs, to be terrorism.
They know their position is weak, they know they are unpopular, which is why they are seeking to stamp out dissent.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

The House Majority Whip is also insisting that a peaceful "No Kings" demonstration is in fact a "hate America rally" held for the "terrorist wing" of the Democratic Party.

Really feels like they're trying to manifest a violent reaction to it.

Emmer: "This is about one thing and one thing alone -- to score political points with the terrorist wing of their party, which is set to hold a hate America rally in DC next week."

The theme of the rally is No Kings, and it's hard to think of a more pro-American sentiment than that.

It’s always what happens. Most of Bush policies targeted our own population, Regan’s "war on drugs" which did nothing to stop drugs, but did a lot to lock up Black and Brown ppl. Most of the time they use the tactics of fear to make ppl comply to these new policies.

Black People Knew This Would Happen

Generational experience has taught us what happens when the state builds a weapon for someone else: Sooner or later, it finds a way back to us.
