The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

This is how democracies die.

Step 1: Dislike the facts.
Step 2: Attack the fact-finders.
Step 3: Replace them with loyalists.
Step 4: Control the "truth."

We live in a rogue and dangerous country.

Do what you need to do to maintain your internal peace. Hold the core of your spirit. Pray for peace. Commit yourself to justice. And just rest.

All media needs to report this in context:

Kristi Noem outrageously threatened to “liberate” Los Angeles from its freely-elected officials and THEN when Senator Padilla started asking her about it he was manhandled and handcuffed as he approached her.
NPR watch: On ATC tonight, reporter said there was a "struggle" between Sen Padilla and the thugs, and then an "escalation of the tensions."

Jesus.

Listen for yourself: www.npr.org/2025/06/12/n...

Thugs at the direction of Noem/Trump/Miller manhandled and handcuffed a US Senator.

Some "struggle"
Sen. Padilla was removed from DHS presser and briefly handcuffed
California Sen. Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from the press conference after entering the room and trying to speak with the Secretary of Homeland Security.

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

IMPORTANT: Before the fascist attack on Senator Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem said that her gestapo in California were staying to "liberate the city socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country."

Don't let that slide by.

There has long been zero fucking excuse for Senate Dems to cede the power they have to slow or stop that body’s work from proceeding and now there is less than zero
House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.

We're told the FDA is now making plans to end most of its routine food safety inspections

That oversight work would be effectively outsourced to state and local authorities, under this plan

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

I can’t stress how the HHS layoffs & budget cuts to State Health Departments impact you personally. You may think you have nothing to do with public health or the government but the government has worked to keep you safe & healthy everyday. “Public health saved you today & you didn’t even known it”

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

Peter Marks, a top vaccine official at FDA, has resigned after threats to resign or be fired.

Marks stood up "Operation Warp Speed" during COVID to expedite delivery of safe vaccines.

This is a huge loss to the field. How many more heroes will we lose as science continues to be eroded?

I've picked up a few new Patrons in recent weeks! Membership ebbs and flows, but after twitter turned into a garbage fire, I couldn't reach new readers anymore, and it pretty much just ebbed. I'm back to 180 patrons and hope to get back to 200ish, where it was at its height

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public
