From now on, I shall intervene in these cases and remove from office those judges who evidently do not understand the demand of the hour." JK it was Hitler

Last week, Iowa became the first state to strip civil rights protections from a previously protected class.
This week, Iowa proposed a law that would make it a misdemeanor for a healthcare worker to administer a a COVID vaccine, even if the patient specifically requests to get a COVID vaccine.

Musk just gave the game away in his interview with Joe Rogan.
He said that it's because of Social Security that "people are living longer than expected"—which coupled with a lower U.S. birth rate creates a situation he finds intolerable.
He _is_ a Yarvinist—and he's coming for our Social Security.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

If you are scared to protest now, remember: this is the easiest it will ever be. Life under dictatorships is pure hell & lasts for decades, probably the rest of your lives if you don’t stop them now. Read about Iran, Syria, Afghanistan – sooner or later you have to overthrow them. Choose sooner. #3E

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

Department of Education plays a crucial role in making sure disabled kids receive the same access to education across states, and distributes funding for the needed accommodations.
Elon Musk's use of AI to slash education spending could put disabled students at risk
It may also "raise serious security questions given the sensitivity of the data."

Homeless children are easier to rape
with every GOP decision - I want you to ask yourself - does this make it easier or harder to rape this demographic.
Like taking children to guantanamo bay.

One devastating effect of eliminating the Department of Education: *1.4 million* homeless kids would be abandoned.
The Department funds programs that support these students, guaranteeing their right to stay in school and access resources.
Dismantle it, and those protections—and the funding—vanish.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
