This is absolutely incredible messaging from NY Public Health- shocking tho it is to see trust in the federal government necessarily collapse like this. When the history books tell the story of this era, states, mayors, and community resistance like this will be the heroic part. What a moment.
Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health.
The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information.
They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift.
Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air
Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr

I’m still processing what happened this morning.
Is it now the administration’s position that the U.S. military does not observe or adhere to the laws of war?

Someone needs to explain the Budapest memorandum to this stupid motherfucker.
Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons at our urging.
We gave them our word we would be there for them if it ever backfired.
Now we’re throwing them under the bus.

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.
Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

This “big, ugly bill” is dangerous and will destroy rural health care. In Kentucky alone, 35 hospitals are under the threat of closing, stripping care from families, cutting jobs and crippling local economies. 1/2

It is amazing the resegregationists targeting schools and workplaces aren’t ever referred to as an extreme ideological faction imposing their worldview onto others, guess that’s reserved for Black people asserting their humanity.

Always underestimated...
Nobody from Target can explain why they thought ending DEI programs and cutting ties with Black businesses would have no impact on Black consumers spending money in their stores. They knew we'd stop. They simply underestimated the impact of us cutting them off. That's why it's still "no" for me.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Just when I think I can't be more embarrassed by 45, something like this happens. Was not my idea to betray Ukraine or bully anyone and here he is. Betrayer and traitor. And those are the nice names I have for 45 and Vance. We the people are all objects to be abused by them.

One pernicious step after another, Bezos encroached on the Post editorial policy. Today he seized it fully. The old Washington Post is gone. I'll never write for it again as long as he's the owner.

It is notable that Big Law is completely absent from the legal fights to protect democracy. In 2017, they bragged about their pro bono work for the resistance. Now, they are silent -presumably cowering in fear of Trump and Musk.
