This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

Abhorrent. My tax dollars being used to handsomely reward people to destroy, to cause pain, to damage .... when so many people doing work to help, to heal, to teach, are struggling to get by.
This is super hard to take.

Notice ICE recruits aren’t hiding their faces. Disgraceful way to make a living!
We’ve got money to hand ICE fat salaries, signing bonuses, even student loan forgiveness (no college degree required). But we can’t afford to pay teachers, fund better healthcare, or keep Social Security alive.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
Release from HHS: HHS will wind down its development of the mRNA vaccine development activities under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

The statistical anomalies were concentrated & targeted to swing states, Texas, & specific to Election Day voting.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work.
You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules.
Get your lies straight.
