I recently sat down with three leaders who are part of the @obamafoundation.bsky.social's alumni network to hear more about their work to strengthen democracy in Hungary and Poland. They’re an example for us all. Take a look:

The federal governments official position on disease prevention, as stated by HHS Sec RFK Jr & CMS Director Mehmet Oz, is that all diseases should be allowed to burn through populations to kill & disabled as many as possible. Disabled should be put in camps or left to die as they generate no profit

153 kids are in quarantine in South Carolina.

118 kids in Minneapolis.

This is what happens when we ignore the science.

When we stop vaccinating, long eradicated diseases come back.

The kids deserve better than this. Measles can disable. It can kill. And it’s completely preventable.

The federal government under Trump wants you dead and gone. Dead people don't need healthcare or government services, which means the rich will pay lower taxes.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Governor you MUST declare a statewide emergency and deploy your National Guard to protect citizens and arrest these federal criminals.

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

This is not MAGA's desire. This nis the master of the cult that are trying anything they can to keep the cult's false worldview together. The rightwing pedofiles revelations are piercing that worldview decisively.

Anonymous @youranoncentral.bsky.social · 21h

MAGA wants to redefine anti-fascism so they can have a blanket term to "justify" murdering and kidnapping everyday Americans that question the Trump regime, call out its numerous criminal actions, and / or ask for the release of the Epstein files.

That’s not how you science.

Tweet from Republicans Against Trump says: “RFK Jr: There’s no proof that Tylenol causes autism. We’re doing the studies to make the proof.” Below is a photo of a White House meeting showing RFK Jr., Marco Rubio, and Donald Trump at a long conference table.

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵

Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.
