Now that I am finished screaming into the void about schooling for kids with disabilities being assigned to RFK: understand what this means.
He’s lumping accommodations into HHS, meaning those needs are now considered medicalized. Different from everyday education.
This is eugenics.

The reckless decision to release billions of gallons of water from the Terminus and Schafer Dams is already hurting farms and farmers.
It’s a massive waste.
I'm demanding answers from the Army Corps of Engineers about what happened. And why.

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order.
TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

It’s fun trying to find that line between “I need to remain vigilant of the horrors afoot” and also “oh no my heart is racing and my jaw is making weird creaky sounds and I can taste pennies.”

In 2020, it became apparent that a lot of people had been asleep in science class.
Well, in 2025, it’s become quite apparent that they slept through history class, too.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?
In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

to recap:
— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it
we really do live in the dumbest fucking country
