@emilyjaynef.bsky.social you are what a hero is- a person who does what they feel is the right thing in a moment that sets a good example for others. Accept it as a compliment to the spirit of all you have experienced and learned in your life. You did good. And we would do well to emulate you.
“I think this says that they will not tolerate us being active participants in our democracy—they want an autocracy,” Emily Feiner told Mother Jones.

LEAVITT: Definitely Trump truthing
Q: Canada becoming the 51st state

Normally when we talk about dictators “disappearing” ordinary people we don’t mean it literally
NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

I've never observed Lent, because I'm an atheist. But when multiple people flagged Hallow, the MAGA-linked pay-to-pray app, I joined the season of self-sacrifice by using it.
What I found was unsettling, but enlightening.

RFK's pledge to find "what caused the autism epidemic" in a few short months is a transparent lie, to cover a preordained conclusion.
But digging deeper, it gets much worse: it's about justifying a downright sadistic assault on children's health.

RFK's phony study into autism isn't just an assault on science — it's a war on children's health
The head of this "research" is no doctor — and has a history of torturing kids with fake autism "cures"
