Children and adults will die because of this.
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.

$2000 a month or a year will only cover healthcare for the most healthy in society.
It won’t cover disabled or chronically ill people
It won’t cover those in poverty
It won’t cover catastrophic illness
What happens to them?
They die.
This isn’t a healthcare plan. It’s an elimination strategy.

I don’t think ICE should ever be allowed to cover their faces
These thugs are grabbing people off the street. Violently arresting and detaining them.
We have no idea if they’re real agents or not.
But I find it especially egregious to allow them to cover their face and take children

A comfortable life used to be the American Dream. Not being a financial mogul. Not fighting for the top spot on the food chain. Working to get your share of the pie with the whip cream on top. Grabbing enough food to fill your plate, but leaving plenty on the table for others. Let’s do that again.

The White House's memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize.
“What you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism,” says Jason Stanley, an author who’s leaving the US because of “concerns over fascism.”

Over 100 people showed up to demand answers from their GOP representative on why he wants to slash Medicaid for billionaire tax breaks. Let’s continue turning up the pressure on Republicans like Tom McClintock who keep avoiding their constituents.

What a fantastic article. Weaving and knitting are often seen as women’s work which is just another 💯 reason to keep working at them.

All of those people who are now crowing about the President having broad executive power to do pretty much whatever he wants felt exactly the opposite when a Democrat held the office - and likely will be outraged if a future Democratic president uses his/her power as it is now being exercised. 1/

Let’s be clear, the WBush admin wanted to sell off & privatise everything in the parks, too. I was privy to a leaked draft of re-written NPS Mgmt Policies produced by a Bush lackey, but we pushed back. We were successful. I’m not sure the same can be done now. shorturl.at/fmBjN

🚨🚨 Musk wants power to turn off the money:
“The sensitive systems control the flow of more than $6 trillion annually [and]…are responsible for distributing Social Security and Medicare benefits, salaries for federal personnel, payments to government contractors and grant recipients and tax refunds”
“The sensitive systems control the flow of more than $6 trillion annually [and]…are responsible for distributing Social Security and Medicare benefits, salaries for federal personnel, payments to government contractors and grant recipients and tax refunds”
Fed source to me: “It’s like a bank heist and the bank is America. Not really being hyperbolic to say control of those systems would allow an extremely fast collapse of the economy. Imagine it’s a plumbing system and someone takes a sledgehammer to the central pipe.”
