After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

In case anyone forgot, this administration had already prohibited public funding of mRNA vaccine research. Moderna was one of the single biggest private funders of mRNA vaccine research. This will set us back decades.
Moderna CEO says Trump’s policies have so curtailed vaccine market they won’t be investing in new research. So that’s awesome. Good luck when the next pandemic hits. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8fWErMy/

Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel said the company doesn’t plan to invest in new late-stage vaccine trials because of growing opposition to immunizations from US officials. #health #business #medicine #US #government

“I am disheartened and sad…that we cannot demonstrate our sympathy for the beleaguered, that we are told immigrants, which most of us are or descended from, are unwelcome, that we cannot show our frustration in peaceful demonstration, and that we can be attacked and even killed by Federal troops.”
Martha Stewart Issues Rare Political Statement After Stern Text From 14-Year-Old Granddaughter
'I'm not sure it's excusable to not be speaking up right now,' wrote Stewart's granddaughter, inspiring a heartfelt post from the lifestyle media mogul.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:
- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Republican politicians who think that Minneapolis is a political problem are missing the point. It is a moral problem. But they are in so deep that they cannot see just how morally bankrupt they have become. They do not understand that we are as revulsed by their complicity as by Trump's cruelty.

The party that has spent unlimited resources and energy getting states to pass laws to allow citizens to openly carry loaded weapons anywhere - now believes that exercising this right is permission for law enforcement to murder you.

Our government killed a man yesterday. And instead of demanding & opening an investigation into the killing, our government IMMEDIATELY labeled the man a “domestic terrorist.” Immediately.
That’s what fascist regimes do. It should send a chill down the spine of every American.

A good look at how the combo of tariffs and energy policy is turning The Big Three (2.5) into an America-only niche, incapable of competing elsewhere. I'd also point out that Detroit reorienting its entire strategy based on policy unlikely to last another 2 years is... peak short-sighted Detroit.

I suspect 9 of 10 Americans are unaware that the Hmong are here because they aided the US in the Vietnam war, and then had to flee as refugees afterwards. Quite the “thank you” we’re giving them 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
