Casar: One of the most important things I learned is how so many of the most right-wing elected officials break things, do not want services to work, and then campaign on them being broken in order to gain political power.

Trump: "We're gonna have tremendous goodies in the bag for women too. The women, between the fertilization and all the other things we're talking about, it's gonna be great. Fertilization. I'm still very proud of it, I don't care. I'll be known as the fertilization president and that's okay."

being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

Most of us think maga voters aren't worth our attention. In this thread, I explain why I think that's wrong. The key is this: don't try bringing them over. Instead, encourage them to give up on democracy. Don't attract them, demoralize them.
1. Last week, there was a story in USA Today about a Trump voter from Wisconsin who watched as ICE agents detained his Peruvian wife in an airport on their way back from their honeymoon in Puerto Rico. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
He voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center.
ICE's deportation actions signal that anyone who isn't a U.S. citizen is 'at risk – period,' immigration attorney says.

Donald Trump lied to Americans on the campaign trail.
He said a vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for a recession.
Instead, the opposite was true. We’re now barreling toward a recession with no end in sight.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID.
This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC.
What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

For those of you who watched the video of an Idaho woman experiencing handmaid‘s tale treatment, now is the time to decide what you would do in that situation—whether it's you or whether you're nearby when this happens to someone else. We are in a moment where we all have to decide who we are.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:
-FDA, which oversees Neuralink
-FAA, which oversees SpaceX
-USAID, which probed Starlink
-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.
"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night.
800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream.
There is a movement to be harnessed here.

Flu vaccine materials are now being taken down from CDC site too. bsky.app/profile/cram...
On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now
