“It’s like The Twilight Zone,” one CDC staffer says of the sudden shifts at the agency.

Scientists vanish, truth gets censored, and the new boss thinks expertise is optional. Tune in as “Data” and “Evidence” are written out of the script.

Anyway, seems like the white community should really do something about all this white-on-white crime.

We found hundreds of examples of federal agencies & institutions purging their websites of anything Black, including:

-Profiles of Black military heroes (Army)
-Documents on the Tulsa Race Massacre (National Archives)
-Resources for educators for teaching slavery (NMAAHC)
How the Trump Administration Made Government Websites White Again
The administration appears to have changed, deleted and restricted access to resources related to Black history from government websites.

A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵

An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.

I read it last year and wished I'd read it sooner.
My book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT was published in 2020. It has the Trump/Epstein court files in it and a history of their joint transnational mafia ties. For five years, I have heard from former Trump voters who said this book -- specifically the Epstein documents -- changed their minds about him.

Scammers are always poised to profit from your fear.

On Thurs., 7/10, I'll be chatting with @bridgetgillard.bsky.social author of “Little Bosses Everywhere: How the Pyramid Scheme Shaped America.”

The event is free. The information is priceless.

Donald Trump gives people permission to be their worst selves. His politics are not just representative, they are generative. His words seep into people’s souls and slowly corrode whatever potential for human decency ever resided there.

About two years ago, I saw a tweet from @mcuban.bsky.social A man in his late forties had just lost his job, and he was desperate for help. Cuban responded:

“Start learning large language models (LLMs). Right now!”

That moment stuck with me.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state.

That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress:

Sit back and do absolutely nothing.
