the audacity to be anti-immigrant while saying Gazans should be “cleaned out” from their homes, that Jordan and Egypt should absorb all 1.5M of them as refugees, and implying that Gaza will make for nice waterfront property [for israeli settlements, let’s be real].

More than 950 cases of H5N1 bird flu have been reported to the World Health Organization. About half of those have resulted in death. There have been 66 confirmed bird flu cases in humans stateside since 2024.

The president just withdrew the U.S. from the WHO.

i predict the people who are rounded up for “deportation” (which more than likely will include POC, queer, and trans people in addition to Latine immigrants) will be sent to “detention centers” that will actually be concentration camps.

where is everyone getting their news and reports about Gaza and Palestine? i’m feeling more disconnected from information on Occupied Palestine than i’ve ever been. i keep seeing a mix of info about excitement for the ceasefire and the continuation of genocide in spite of the ceasefire agreement.

the trump regime is hoping to end FEMA. a lot of takes on this are only discussing this as he doesn’t want to provide support to certain states or he wants federal support for certain states to be conditional. that may be so, but i think that’s also pretty reductive. that’s the short game.

The latest folks to NOT bend the knee:

Last night, Trump fired a number of inspectors general, but as you can see in this letter here, they are refusing to leave their posts as they believe his action is illegal. Federal law requires 1 month’s notice to Congress.

When I applied to Medical School at Emory University, I was open about my dedication to Palestine activism, and was told it would never impact my studies. But now, the school has suspended me for that very reason.

I was suspended from Emory over my Palestine activism. I will not let it stop me.

Trump ordered key federal health agencies to pause all external communications.

The health agencies' website updates, advisories, and scientific reports provide the public with critical information on a variety of medical issues, including food recalls, infectious diseases and new drug approvals.
