Minneapolis General Strike
On this day 4 years ago, 13 seconds happened.
Four years ago Friday, the Chiefs won a playoff game that lives in franchise lore, but the Bills haven’t overcome that loss.

We are now all part of the crazy peoples' health experiments.
RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

It's so sad to see this disease go from the brink of elimination to potentially going back to something we will be seeing routinely.

People don't understand just how terribly bad this is going to be (and already is). Right now the people I talk to about this have the reaction of "yeah, can't believe these anti-vaccine parents, they're just nuts. Glad me and my kids are vaccinated" 1/6
The measles outbreak in South Carolina now stands at 664 cases, basically doubling in a week, and it's spread to several other states. The outbreak first began in Texas a year ago this week - which means the U.S. is going to lose its elimination status. My latest:

I’m still waiting on the “don’t tread on me” crowd to be as mad about armed masked men breaking down doors without warrants as they were about wearing a mask to Applebee’s…

A handful of billionaires have redesigned our politics for their own profit.
We keep watching, we keep scrolling, we keep fighting — and they keep getting richer.
Fight the system, not your neighbor.

I had forgotten about this. The Trump Administration is still trying to get the names and personal contact information of Jewish faculty, staff and students at Penn. I can't believe a Court hasn't shut down this request yet.
"If history teaches us anything, it is that making lists of Jews, no matter the ostensible purpose, is often a prelude to their and others’ persecution," write @sigalbenporath.bsky.social, @serenamayeri.bsky.social and Amanda Shanor.

💯Yes! Watch what they're doing, not what they're saying (or posting).
"You're asking me about something that the president just said... He's never going to implement it... We should talk instead about what he's doing... Every time we get distracted by what he talks about rather than what he does... he destroys and he redistributes to the rich."

Back then, wannabe dictators either declared dictatorship or staged a coup. Today wannabe dictators use “electoral autocracy” — they come to power via elections but then hollow out the electoral system through voter suppression, banning rivals from running for office, intimidation, & other tactics.
