Keep calling him out.

Then impeach him.
Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

In Noem’s defense, she doesn’t know a lot of words. After “shoot” and “puppy,” “suck,” and “it,” there are not many left, so she tries to get as much use of them as possible.

My favorite protest of the day💙

They’ve lived through history—and now they’re making it. 85 elders from the Quadrangle in Haverford, PA, some in their 90s, stood tall to say: No Kings!

Their target? Trump’s authoritarian rise.

Their message? Cont’d

In Haverford, 80-somethings and 90-somethings take to the road to protest Trump
They saw the Holocaust, WWII and Vietnam, and these senior protesters on Philly's Main Line have seen enough of Trump.

Antimicrobial resistance causes more deaths than malaria and HIV combined, yet remains a critically underfunded health problem. US funding cuts are likely to make that significantly worse, say experts, rendering some diseases practically untreatable:

Universities: Do. Not. Comply.

You cannot negotiate with fascists. You can not adequately comply with fascists. You cannot satisfy the wants and whims of fascists. They will eventually demand everything.

Complying now just emboldens the regime and signals to other universities they should comply.

"[A] democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." - FDR (1938)
