A disproportionately working class profession of millions - who maybe more so than any other profession defies the simple lazy “working class versus high education” discourse - who are largely in charge of maybe the most important thing in our society: helping keep loved ones alive and well
I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.

Making America Sick Again.
A sparkling example of "experts" cherry picked by RFK Jr. to fit his agenda.

Milhoan, a pediatric cardiologist (not a vaccine expert) has "concerns" that children might die of measles or afflicted w/ polio, but also "saddened when people die of alcoholic diseases".

Measles cases are rising.

You can't hide your lyin ICE.
hey everybody lifelong tech expert here

> "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility

that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps
And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.

One of the hardest things to do is bring campaign-level communications to the work of governance, and snowstorms are notoriously one of the biggest litmus tests that less-engaged voters use to judge mayoral administrations. This is an excellent way to communicate.

Jim Pattison Developments, which owns this warehouse in Virginia that ICE wants to use, is based in Vancouver, if anyone wants to write to them or look more into it.
(Jim Pattison himself is 97 years old, and was #9 on the Maclean's list of Canada's richest people in 2024.)
Canadian angle to ICE fuckery: ICE is seeking to buy a Jim Pattinson Developments warehouse in the US to use as a processing facility. Jim Pattison is Canadian (Save On Foods, etc). Seems like this is a thing we should know? www.vpm.org/news/2026-01...

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.

In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver.

This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

Danish Foreign Minster Lars Løkke Rasmussen speaks after WH meeting: "For us, ideas that would not respect the territorial of the Kingdom of Denmark and the right of self-determination of the Greenlandic people are of course totally unacceptable. We therefore still have a fundamental disagreement."

I won't do it. But I might.
Professor of rhetoric: ad baculum. It's a classic Trump threat - mention the thing he "won't" do as an implied threat. Media reports it out as "won't do it," target of implied threat understands, "he might."
