“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”
A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

This is the verbiage of SF360, which they are tempting to push through Iowa legislature. From my reading, it would make administering vaccinations such as covid illegal.

He wants to eliminate FEMA and he spent the day at a NASCAR race amidst a three-state catastrophe. Where is the damn media about this? Where is the outrage they would show a Democrat president?

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

The President & the richest man in the world are recklessly attacking medical research—with researchers being laid off, studies being canceled, & kids now unable to get the lifesaving treatment they need. It’s absolutely heartless & will have devastating consequences for us all.

I fear they’re coming for ALL school vaccine mandates next. Including measles, mumps and rubella.

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

I just heard of the third beautiful, brilliant trans soul who needed to exit this life early. Three this week. One a teen. My heart aches for every single soul who is terrified and shattered and broken. Who feels like there is no other way. You ARE loved and wanted and so special. Please stay.

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

The Trump administration is gearing up to restart immigrant family detention—ICE is already inviting private prison companies to bid on contracts.
Say it plain: This means profit from family detention, and US citizens in mixed status families will be caught in it too.

It's also not true. White maternal death rates are also not great when compared to other countries. The downside of using the people you systematically opress as your benchmark is you fail to recognize how your own policies are killing you.
