Some women were actual founders of antifa, not just ‘girlfriends’

Sophie Scholl was a member of White Rose, an anti-Nazi group at the university of Munich. She was murdered by the Nazi regime (for treason) on 22 February, 1943 She was only 21 years old

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

It’s honestly difficult for me to *process* how disastrous this is. The court cases that come out of this are going to decide the future of so many people who don’t need to die of disease.

So apparently Charlie’s wife was the talent recruiter for Trump’s teen beauty pageant before they met and also had a ministry that may have been involved with trafficking teens from Romania. Seems like Erica Kirk might be in the Epstein files.

Meiselas: Trump says he’s focusing right now on laying off the Democratic agencies and government employees, whatever that means. Again, completely pathetic behavior, and in normal times, this would be impeachable and/or 25th Amendment territory.

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.

“Americans decided we didn’t want to live the rule of King George III. They declared their independence and fought a bloody war for democracy. We fought in two world wars to preserve it. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away, King Donald I. F‑‑‑ that!”
