It’s so funny that for the past week republicans have all been like “the only people out there are gonna be Hamas.” Everyone in this crowd is signed up for Kohl’s rewards points.

APHA comment: Trump's first 100 days were not kind to public health

Decimated public health systems, a depleted federal workforce and the deletion of safety nets that maintain the health security of America are all outcomes of President Trump’s first 100 days
However, in the first 100 days of Trump’s administration, we’ve witnessed the gutting of our public health systems, removal of data and spread of misinformation, making America less secure and healthy...

We live in chaos now. The mad king keeps stomping around and breaking things and then trying to duct tape them back together.
Gee I wonder why there’s a shortage of air traffic controllers

If you were trying to bring down the US on purpose, your playbook would look exactly like what we have seen these past three weeks.

I try not to be alarmist, but as a Jewish academic with a lot of inherited familial trauma, it does not make me feel great that an avowed supporter of the German far-right now has access to my Social Security number.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.
I know. I was there in those camps.

First, they hijacked the name "Republican" and accused real Republicans of being fake (or RINOs) - they stole the name.
Now, they have hijacked "Christian" and are accusing real followers of being fake. They stole the name. MAGA Christianity is unrecognizable to real Christianity.

I am starting to suspect that they already knew they would be denied actual deportation. This part is just theater. Plan B is the actual plan, and it is very dark. Private prison needs to make a profit, after all.
The president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, announced that he will not allow U.S. military planes carrying Colombian migrants to land in Colombia.

Each day, I'm going to post this video of the richest man in the world & 1 of the 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧 & 𝐒𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 Trump's top advisors doing full on NAZI salutes & ask you to share it with friends or family...perhaps Tesla owners.
Ask folks why they support a party of Nazi sympathizers.

This is becoming absurd—federal employees are now being told to remove pronouns from their email signatures. We will always stand by our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, no matter how many things we’re asked to delete or change. Inclusivity is at the core of who we are.

Official federal policy designed to dehumanize. ‘Illegal alien’ - not undocumented, not illegal immigrant - these term still remind you of humans. Nazi playbook

No offense, Mark, but you have influence and power most of us don’t. Why don’t you speak up to those in DC you have connections with? Actions speak louder than words as you well know.
