There is a straight line from the failure of Reconstruction to "We don't need to count everyone's vote in the 2000 election" to "People from places like Madison & Milwaukee aren't real Wisconsinites & shouldn't have their votes count" to "ICE can murder people in cold blood in our cities."

Under RFK Jr.'s leadership, the CDC is looking less like an institution that keeps Americans healthy and more like a politically-motivated anti-vax machine.

I’m old enough to remember when there used to be a Congress that knows it’s a separate branch of government with actual responsibilities articulated by the Constitution.

👇🎯 Approximately everyone enjoys day-to-day consumption patterns that our grandparents could not dream of. This doesn’t mean people don’t struggle to maintain that standard of living, or that inequality doesn’t exist, or that we can’t do better. But ignoring this is not helpful.
Cars, computers, smartphones, etc. The expectations for consumption are just through the roof.

Actually it's an idea about a framework for a concept of a plan
Mike Johnson talks about the Republican "healthcare plan" like it's highly classified information: "We're not gonna be on a conference call explaining all our plans and strategies for healthcare reform, because they're leaked in real time."

The Supreme Court’s conservatives bear SO much blame for this disaster. They really thought they could let Trump fire every agency leader EXCEPT members of the Fed, and Trump would abide by their stern admonition to leave the Fed alone. Embarrassing stupidity. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

Putting the ill in illogical, the bs in absurd.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appears to support mRNA vaccine technology in some cases like cancer vaccines but not others, despite just last week pulling $500 million in funding from mRNA vaccine research.
After Scrapping mRNA Contracts, Kennedy Says mRNA Vaccines ‘May Be Very Effective’ for Cancer
The Department of Health and Human Services’ mRNA pullback only applies to their use in upper respiratory disease, according to Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

This op-ed from NIH director Jay Bhattacharya is *infuriating*. He says we have to stop funding mRNA vaccine research because it hasn't "earned public trust." Motherfucker, WHO DID THAT.

As a vaccine for broad public use, mRNA technology has failed to earn the public’s trust.

The fundamental choice has not been as stark since World War II: democracy and freedom, or dictatorship and tyranny.
Trump and his sycophants are siding with the latter. The rest of us must loudly, proudly, and boldly proclaim our allegiance to the former.
