Defending the Amistad captives before the Supreme Court in 1841, John Quincy Adams argued that the president does not have the power to deny due process to anyone in the United States, regardless of where they are from. He said, "I submit to your Honors that, if the President has the power to do it in the case of Africans, and send them beyond seas for trial, he could do it by the same authority in the case of American citizens. By a simple order to the marshal of the district, he could just as well seize forty citizens of the United States... and send them beyond seas for trial before a foreign court." He reminded the justices that this was the behavior of a king, and that when George III unjustly sent men overseas, "that was one of the most odious of those acts of tyranny which occasioned the American Revolution."

A large infographic titled "Vaccines & autism - what does the evidence say?" Large studies of over 1.4 million vaccinated children have found no link between vaccines and autism.

Called it 😒

An exerpt from an AP article: "Laid-off federal workers with disabilities worry about the future. Some also worry that disabled federal workers may have been disproportionately hurt by the terminations. Tighe and Goidel were hired through Schedule A, which allows a probationary period of up to two years. Other federal employees typically have one year of probation. Tighe suspects that if she hadn't been hired through the special hiring authority, she might still have a job given that no one else on her team was let go."

It's not as pithy but Make Conflicts of Interest have Consequences Again
A screenshot of search results for "confict of interest" summarized by AI: A conflict of interest arises when an individual or entity's personal or private interests potentially influence or compromise their judgment or actions in a situation where they have a professional or public responsibility. It can be a situation where someone cannot make a fair or objective decision because they stand to benefit personally from the outcome, or where their personal interests clash with their professional duties. A 2nd screenshot of the search result for "conflict of interest" summarized by AI: Here's a more detailed breakdown: Key Aspects of a Conflict of Interest: Clash of Interests: A conflict arises when personal, private, or financial interests conflict with professional or public responsibilities. Potential for Bias: The situation creates a potential for bias or partiality in decisions or actions, as the individual's judgment could be swayed by their own interests. Compromised Integrity: Conflicts of interest can undermine trust and the integrity of decisions, as they may raise concerns about fairness and objectivity. Legal and Ethical Considerations: Many jurisdictions have laws and regulations addressing conflicts of interest, particularly in areas like public office, professional practice, and corporate governance.

The latest in eugenics-based policies from the self-proclaimed "pro-life" party: the autism registry.
#rfkjr
#autism #disability #eugenics
An entry from the holocaust encyclopedia labeled 1939-1941: "German officials ordered the registration of all newborn babies and children under three years of age who showed signs of severe mental or physical disabilities. This order highlighted the participation of midwives. They were paid a small sum for each infant they reported. Parents were encouraged to surrender their children with disabilities to the care of state-run residential clinics. There, medical staff secretly murdered the children by starvation or lethal injection. As German policymakers shifted the country’s economy onto a war footing, they began to view people with disabilities as a financial, as well as genetic, burden. The so-called 'racial hygiene' policies of Nazi Germany took a radical turn. Portrayed falsely in propaganda as “mercy deaths,” the secret, so-called 'euthansia' program soon expanded to include adults with disabilities as well."

We don't talk about the fourth one nearly enough. Does disappearing people to "prisons" count?
It's time to face the fact that it's not just a handful of people disregarding human rights, but everyone enabling and supporting those people as well.

The four unalienable rights, as articulated in the Declaration of Independence, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, along with the right to alter or abolish a government that becomes destructive of these ends.

Hold on, so yall let this unelected, foreign businessman come in and access all the data needed for his businesses, eliminate the agencies that could hold him accountable or be competitive against his businesses, and now he just gets to walk away with no consequences and run those businesses?

So much unnecessary damage, loss, and turmoil.
For what?
Money? 🙄
#peopleoverprofit
Other countries have worker protections.
A linkedin post written by Katelyn Jetelina, an Epidemiologist that says: Today, thousands of health workers lost their jobs, effective immediately at the CDC and FDA. People are literally finding out if they were fired at security when they try to badge in. It's cruel and unnecessary, which is the point. But beyond jobs, historical knowledge, and projects stopped in their tracks, this will impact Americans' health. Viruses don't pause when the government stops working. Neither does bacteria, worker safety, or chronic diseases. HIV prevention? Gone. Environmental health (like heat risk to children with asthma)? Gone. Environmental disaster teams (think Ohio train derailment)? Gone. Gun violence prevention? Gone. Injury prevention? Gone. Communications? Gone. Worker safety? Gone. Division of reproductive health? Gone. Disability health? Gone. TB prevention? Gone. Office of blood disorders? Gone. National survey focusing on drug use and mental health? Gone. Can someone explain to me how this makes America healthy again? ...because it seems to me, this isn't about health at all-it's dismantling the very systems that protect us.

I haven't done a deep dive into the law to see exactly WHAT is being cut yet but just getting started with the CR and the numbers are looking dismal.
They are literally gutting the budget. Don't fall for their spin on it.
#shutdown #federalshutdown
A spreadsheet analyzing the new CR bill that shows the differences in funding from fiscal year 2024 to fiscal year 2025. There are $3 billion in cuts just from one act (The Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2024), not including all the sections that were eliminated entirely.

Like having clean air and clean water? Let this administration know!
www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...
We have 30 days until the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) laws are rescinded. This is the 50-year bedrock of American conservation. Normally, these actions take years but the administration has provided 30 days for public comment on gutting clean water and clean air. Drop what you're doing, please populate the federal register with dissenting. (Link in post)

Found the worst take on this whole situation:
(Didn't read the article and won't bc the title is enough to know they have no idea)
Idk a single taxpayer that wasn't directly affected or wouldn't have been if the "pause" continued.
Government works invisibly when working as intended. 🤨
Congrats NYP!

Reminder to #ICE and #borderpatrol, yall don't have to fill the private prisons so someone else can get richer.

Reminder to everyone, #immigrants have constitutional rights and protections too.

#nowarbutclasswar
An exerpt from an article from the ACLU that states "As the ACLU has previously documented, the federal government's immigration detention system overwhelmingly relies on private prison corporations. Private prisons corporations... have pocketed billions from ICE detention contracts over the past two decades."

Gonna start incessantly responding to posts about layoffs with lists of worker protections other countries have. It's too convenient for big companies to get rid of good employees to pay newer ones less in the US.
Both people lose.
We should make it inconvenient and expensive.
