I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Wait, I thought the 2A (Second Amendment) was supposed to keep this from happening?!
It's why we've had to endure a horrific amount of gun violence, or so we've been told all our lives, right? Because something something FREEDOM, yes?
So where the hell is the "well-regulated militia?!"

In #Germany, a watershed moment: Just hours after commemorating the Holocaust, the centre-right has accepted the support of the #farright #AfD to pass a (largely symbolic) motion against immigration, tearing a massive hole into the so-called 'firewall', Germany's variety of the cordon sanitaire.
