RFK: MMR vaccine is the "most effective way" to prevent measles spread www.axios.com/2025/04/06/k... He must do MUCH more, including apologizing for – and definitively retracting – decades of harmful lies. Also, he continues to push unproven BS.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Few Americans know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

NEW: Trump Said Cuts Wouldn’t Affect Public Safety. Then He Fired Hundreds of Workers Who Help Fight Wildfires.

1/ We wanted to take a moment to quickly introduce you to our HHS reporters. THREAD 🧵

The Trump administration moved one large step closer to a constitutional showdown with the judicial branch of government when airplane-loads of Venezuelan detainees deplaned in El Salvador even though a federal judge had ordered that the planes reverse course and return the detainees to the U.S.

The Trump administration said it arrested and expelled hundreds of alleged members of Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua gang to El Salvador for imprisonment, even as a federal judge ordered a halt to some deportations

Our @elfaroenglish.bsky.social editor @romangressier.com in this episode of Latino USA, giving context on the recent deportations announced by the Trump administration. podcasts.apple.com/sv/podcast/l...

Anoche desperté a las 3 de la mañana pensando en que todos lo países nos odian, me odian, por ser venezolana. Feliz semana para todos.

It was not clear if the deportations happened before a D.C. federal judge ordered the administration to stop using wartime powers to deport anyone immediately, and turn around any planes in the air.

❗ Trump deporta a cientos de venezolanos a El Salvador pese a que un juez ordenó no hacerlo

Emma Goldman was deported along with another 600 anarchists, communists & socialists, while 10k+ more nationwide were rounded up in the Palmer Raids, 105 years ago during the First Red Scare and tbh idek which number Red Scare we're on now www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...

The White House claims planes bearing migrants to El Salvador were in international waters off the Yucatán, so that’s why they ignored the court order to turn them around. International waters, eh? Isn’t that the Gulf of *America* now?

Each new passing day reveals to us horrors beyond imagination committed by the dumbest, vilest, most selfish idiots among us. But getting your own wife deported and failing to acknowledge your role in that tragedy is a whole multiverse beyond the pale. What a weak man he is.

The Voice of America may not live up to its ambitious name for much longer. Today staffers were told to stop working. Some were told to hand in badges. And contracts with other American-funded networks were cancelled. This is a massive purge. 🧵

This is a very sad story, but what makes me crazy is that people tried to explain that this is what would happen and got caricatured as "woke" hysterics www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

I think it has more to do with you might get locked up for absolutely no reason at all and then flown to El Salvador to die in prison even though a judge said you should be released

This at least twice in less than 48 hours the Trump Administration blatantly defied court orders not to deport someone.

In the honor of International LC Awareness - The Calgary Tower in Alberta Canada was lit up in teal. Peace to all those living life with LC. My daughter is 14 and is in her 4th year of LC. @longcovid-adri.bsky.social @jvipondmd.bsky.social

This is outrageous. Judge Boasberg’s order went against government agencies which were in the US, and which were in direct contact with the plane. He must hold them in contempt of court.

Exactly what the Venezuelan state channel did and does.

Yellowknife loses power in lengthy Sunday afternoon outage Residents across Yellowknife reported losing power shortly after 5pm on Sunday in one of the city's lengthier outages of recent months.

This is GREAT news!

Early on in the time as Senator, I went for coffee with @drjaredwesley.bsky.social - and he became the “muse” who inspired my podcast Alberta Unbound. His research on western identity and Alberta identity is sharp and authoritative. And a must read for Canadians everywhere. #Alberta #ualberta

Only 6.6% of countries are full democracies. Canada is one of them. That's something to be proud of. Something worth fighting for. *Data comes from a division of The Economist. The report is interesting reading if you're worried about the state of modern politics.

“When I got to know everyone else in there, and heard all of their stories and how long they were in there, I was like, ‘OK, I’m not allowed to feel sorry for myself at all, because every single person in here is in a way worse situation than me,’” she said. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

”we have condemned 228 men to die in a foreign prison without charge or trial” is a fact that I cannot shake from my mind. It just keeps reasserting itself. God have mercy bc this is just the beginning.

Over the past several weeks, ProPublica has identified dozens of people who worked for DOGE. #ICYMI: We just added 20 names to our tracker, bringing the total to 66.

Reading about it on Twitter didn’t help, but again, most of the Hispanic media, Venezuelan media and Latam journalists are over there…

Been with a knot in my stomach all day over this. Stigmatized just for being Venezuelans. Again, we don’t know who they were, who they were or even if all of them are Venezuelans. Thinking about my 🇻🇪 friends and family in the US.

Ignoring a court order on the grounds that “ah-ah-ah, the law doesn’t apply once you get to international waters!!” is absolutely sanctionable. 8th grade-ass lawyering. Completely unserious.

This is what I’m talking about, not due process, we don’t even know who they are or even if they are Venezuelans. All aprehended and disappeared by the State.

I’m so tired of having to apologize or ask for permission or give extra explanations just because I’m Venezuelan. As if it wasn’t enough the over 20 years of chavismo and having to leave the country because of the dictatorship. Now we’re guilty everywhere just because.

A kidney transplant specialist and professor at Brown University’s medical school has been deported from the U.S., even though she had a valid visa and a court order temporarily blocking her expulsion, according to her lawyer and court papers.

Leyendo anécdotas en Threads de canadienses blancos con green cards que fueron detenidos o amenazados cuando quisieron regresar a EEUU porque venían de visitar a sus familias. Ya sabemos qué queda pal resto.

Yep. The United States is turning into an arbitrary state where the law doesn't matter. And if you don't know how ICE is on the inside, search for all the feature stories of the Latin American immigrants imprisoned there for months or even a year. I hope Rebecca can get out soon.

We've been saying for months at PWS that with pressure to get deportation numbers up, and few arrivals at the border, the Trump administration will start going after other vulnerable communities, "legality" be damned This is just the beginning

Show us the way, teenage girl in New Jersey.

never thought I'd see a Canadian PM campaign on the "US invasion issue"

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people. Sound efficient? HT @ellenmacarthurfdn.bsky.social

Mark Carney, the Canadian economist who helped steer two countries through major financial upheaval as the governor of their central banks, was elected leader of Canada’s ruling Liberal Party on Sunday. Here’s what to know about Canada’s next prime minister.

💛

Nice kicker. “.. The president .. has hailed announcements by Apple, TSMC and Honda, which he said would be opening a plant in Indiana. A company spokesman later said: ‘Honda has made no such announcement.’” @washingtonpost.com @davidjlynch.bsky.social

Looooool. No wonder my timeline wasn't loading. Twitter caído!

A friendly reminder. Yes, Carney will be Prime Minister without a seat as the Liberal party members alone elected him, just as Danielle Smith became Premier without a seat as the UCP members alone elected her. It's how our system has always worked, it's not new.
