We must never accept or get used to the fact that this is happening in America.
“I’m plainly convinced that my situation in this ICE jail is direct retaliation for my coverage,” Mario Guevara told @ajc.com in an exclusive interview from the Folkston, Georgia ICE detention center where he is currently detained, despite a judge's bail order. “I haven’t committed any crimes.”

Before the vaccine, close to 10% of measles infections resulted in deafness. It currently causes 100K children/yr to become blind. 1/1000 who recover completely will later develop a fatal encephalitis. Every infection disrupts the immune system, and can cause loss of all immunity to other infections

Brilliant, but scary that The Onion is the voice of reason.
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.

Marco Rubio is making a fool of himself on @facethenation.bsky.social this morning. The producers should cut his mic and let Margaret Brennan speak. Also, she should remind him that we had an agreement that “Mr Art-of-the-Deal” walked away from.

IMPORTANT: Stop calling the troops in LA National Guard Troops. They are not. When Trump activated them against the wishes of the Gov they became FEDERAL troops… like the 82nd airborne with no Law enforcement power! Don’t let them confuse you!

I don’t live near DC, but if you do, consider going out to support!
In case y'all haven't heard about this, Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are holding a livestreamed sit-down on the steps of the US Capitol.

A small crowd has gathered to listen, but I bet we could get that crowd to be much bigger.

A thing I think would help:

As much as pointing to the individual horrors and saying "that's bad", we need shared standards to point to for "how to tell if something is good/just/worthwhile/quality/etc" and hammer on them over and over and over again. Don't assume people already have this clarity.

I’ve personally shown more courage fighting City Hall and bearing tremendous personal sacrifice for it. To paraphrase Major Benson Winifred Payne, if they want sympathy, they can look in the dictionary between shit and syphilis. That is where they will find my sympathy.

US higher ed is:
*an incredible tool of soft power
*which generates billions, subsidizing US students
*attracts the brightest people in the world to come here, and allows the US to retain the best of them
For Rubio & Trump, these are problems to be fixed.
