Im so disappointed in fellow Americans I don’t even know what to say or do anymore. It feels…insurmountable at times.
Notice ICE recruits aren’t hiding their faces. Disgraceful way to make a living!
We’ve got money to hand ICE fat salaries, signing bonuses, even student loan forgiveness (no college degree required). But we can’t afford to pay teachers, fund better healthcare, or keep Social Security alive.

This story reveals one element of contemporary authoritarianism: the government creates conditions where we can’t keep track of what’s real & what isn’t, which rumors are true & which are false. So we get tired, distrustful, & conspiratorial.
This requires wrecking journalism & higher ed, too.

We are at that point politically - regarding US politics - that, when an almost gramatically correct post appeared on Trump's TruthSocial account, people assumed he was either in a coma or dead.
Or when he didn't make a ruckus for three days - people assumed he was dead.
His death solves nothing.

But by far and away, the biggest priority for a Heritage Foundation-captured CDC is going to be using the agency's legal frameworks for access to medical data, and weaponizing them to control women. *Most* of the Project 2025 plan for CDC is a witch hunt against abortion on an unprecedented scale.
