ain't no fuckin way

Disgusting. “The administration’s goal, ICE acting director Todd M. Lyons said, was to deport immigrants as efficiently as Amazon moves packages: ‘Like Prime, but with human beings.’” www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

What our leading public health officials think

Marxists: AI is a technology for capital to crush labor power and take control of everything. Sensible people: this is doomerism and hysteria. Navarro: AI is a technology for us to crush labor power and take control of everything.

“They told us we’d never see the light of day again… We thought we were the living dead… I’ve never even got a traffic ticket…” The 60 Minutes story Bari Weiss tried to☠️ about Trump sending innocent people to be tortured in an El Salvador mega prison: www.thereset.news/p/breaking-h...

America is not now, and never has been, a Christian nation. In fact, it was *explicitly* designed *not* to be. Most of us learned this in junior high—at the latest. But Vance is a white nationalist who’ll say or do anything to get even a *shred* more power, so this perversion of our history fits.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head. That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

If everyone who was appalled at RFK Jr’s completely unhinged week, yelled at their house rep to co-sponsor the articles of impeachment against him, we could start an Epstein files style people power movement. @standupforscience.bsky.social TAKE ACTION HERE: Standupforscience.net/impeach-rfkjr

I would rather have been wrong about this.

hey @repnikema.bsky.social the CDC is IN OUR DISTRICT...why wouldn't you co-sponsor the articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. He is destroying the lifeblood of public health in the US.

I feel like that makes it worse, bc it underscores that it's not just (using just loosely) RFK Jr randomly being a conspiracy addled eugenicist wackjob -- this catastrophe was coordinated and had the backing of the conservative legal movement

Again. It’s not the legitimate scientists at HHS who want to “overhaul the childhood vaccine schedule. It is RFK Jr. and his handpicked group of megalomaniacs who believe that their ignorant whims override the entirety of the body of scientific evidence for vaccines.

💯

Congratulations to everyone who wrote an op-ed about how he just wants americans to eat better

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines. It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States. And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

🧪The damage being done to our public health infrastructure will have a domino effect & will affect us from generations to come. Risk of disease and healthcare costs will go up. We will become sicker and sicker. Listen to these doctors. RFK Jr. has to be impeached. #ImpeachRFKJr #SacktheQuack

this is illegal

Just to be clear. It’s the John F Kennedy center legally. Just like it’s still the department of defense

I think Asha Rangappa is right — they are lining up the external and internal enemies. Or trying to. This is very risky and will almost certainly blow up in their faces.

If you think Trump's march to authoritarian power is unstoppable - or already a fait accompli - just note how panicked and weak he was tonight and he wheedled and whined about nothing is his fault. That's not a man who thinks he's winning.

very weird feeling watching a seemingly coked out president yell at you for 20 minutes straight

If you’ve ever wondered what 50mg of Adderal looks like, tune into Trump’s speech.

LOLLL Trump claims he’s cutting drug prices by 600 percent, which is not possible

Sounds just like Chapter 15 of Mein Kampf.

JUST NOW…

The media needs to stop writing headlines like “The CDC changes course on vaccines and autism” and “The CDC defends measles response”. NONE of this is coming from legitimate scientists at the CDC. ALL of it is coming from RFK Jr. Every such headline is causing further harm to public health.

As we wrote in 2024: Hare Psychopathy Checklist: “Perfect” score for total psychopath = 40 Average score in general population = 5 Average score for someone in maximum security prison = 22 Donald J. Trump = 34

Measles outbreaks are spreading across the U.S., and the country is now at risk of losing its disease-elimination status. Infectious disease experts say this is directly tied to Trump appointing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead HHS. Are we great yet?

The RFK, jr effect.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends. It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Modern vocabulary for describing emotions can be limited and vague. An emerging field of history that investigates how our forebears experienced feelings could allow people to better understand the emotions of the past—and present. @galbeckerman.bsky.social reports:

Incredible: "Nancy Mace of South Carolina has told people she is so frustrated... that she is planning to huddle with Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia next week to discuss following her lead and retiring early from Congress." www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/u...

Republicans had a very bad day yesterday: -Trump fell asleep during his cabinet meeting. -Republicans continue to lose critical cases in court. -They vastly underperformed in a Tennessee congressional special election. They are panicking and will become much worse. Pay attention.

The reason this was a serious race in the first place is @aftynbehn.bsky.social and the people-powered movement she built. The result of this overperformance: a lot of Republicans in so-called "safe seats" are scared tonight, and Trump's redistricting push will take another huge hit.

credit to NYT for not sanewashing the appalling bigotry we saw today in the WH "Even for Mr. Trump — who has a long history of insulting Black people, particularly those from African countries — his outburst was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry."

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there. Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

among other things: TN-07, the Congressional district that voted today, is the result of gerrymandering - Nashville, which used to have its own congressman, was split into thirds, and TN07 contains one of the thirds. The rest of it is rural.

Some background! I wrote about Tennessee in 2023, asking whether it's still a democracy www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

@jenpsaki.bsky.social every time you say a democrat “has no business” doing so well in a “red” district, you’re essentially reinforcing the idea that it’s inevitably red. So lazy. She had a lot of business doing so well. She had a great message.

There is something very wrong with Megyn Kelly.
