The people in power are completely, utterly, & abjectly terrified of facts. They fear journalism, science, data, & general powers of observation.
By making entire swathes of the population question objective reality, they are poisoning the well & trying to shield themselves.
Do not let them.

The DOJ has arrested Don Lemon, a well-known journalist, for using his Constitutionally protected right to observe & document our government peacefully.
Today is a nationwide general strike. Do not buy things. Do not work.

“in theater” is a crazy way to describe minneapolis
Q: Can you be specific about how many ICE and CBP agents are currently operating in the state?
HOMAN: 3,000. There's been some rotations. They've been in theater a long time. Day after day, can't eat in restaurants, people spin on you, blowing whistles at you. But my main focus now is draw down

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

It may just be me, but the number of people I know who have never before spoken out about anything remotely political who are now making their voices heard FEELS like a tipping point.

Is the membership fee for a chunk of real estate in Jared Kushner’s “New Gaza” plan? Or is it going to Trump’s pocket via some offshore bank account based in Qatar? We may never know.

I can't stick to science because THERE IS NO FUNDING FOR SCIENCE THANKS TO THE CONSPIRACY OF DUNCES IN OFFICE.
Science is inherently political...which this regime has proven beyond all doubt.
Knowing science means the lies don't work. They're scared of science and scientists. Remember that.

This is a small immediate action you can take to support the businesses where the murder this morning happened. They were closed yesterday. Now they’re going to have to close today. Few of them can take multiple days without business.
