I've noticed that as the United States has become increasingly dishonest and corrupt, cover-ups no longer need to be conducted in secret.

RFK Jr. has fired all members of the Preventive Services Task Force, which requires insurance companies to cover certain treatments. The Supreme Court ruled he could do so in June.
Likely next step: Appointing quacks who will end mandatory insurance coverage for PrEP.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.
If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

The Supreme Court's first decision is Ames v. Ohio. Per Jackson, the court holds that members of a majority group do NOT have a heightened burden to prove they faced workplace discrimination, reversing the 6th Circuit. Unanimous. (More opinions to come.) www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.
