Thought this year we’d get by without one of these posts… but then came Trump’s late-night “Happy Thanksgiving” rant. His dangerous rhetoric continues to divide this country when we need unity the most.

This is almost word for word what xenophobes in the 1930s and 1940s said about Miller's Jewish ancestors and relatives. He's so hateful he couldn't possibly recognize that of course.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

🧵 1/3 Anyone else notice that Vaccines.gov the federal vaccine locator is just… broken?
And honestly, would any of us be shocked if it never comes back, given that HHS took it over from CDC this summer?

CDC Quietly Turned Off Its Vaccine Search Tool. It’s Not Clear When It’s Coming Back.
“I have heard that they are planning to ‘update it’ and shudder to think what that will mean,” Demetre Daskalakis, a former member of CDC leadership, told NOTUS.

They picked the wrong veteran to screw with.
I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.
