It really seems like this administration is trying to eliminate the field of public health. MPHs and DrPHs will no longer be considered "professional degrees" by the DOE and, therefore, will face limits to accessing federal student loans. aspph.org/department-o...

ICE is in Fremont's SUNDALE neighborhood TODAY conducting "Knock and Talks" according to Fremont City Manager's office. Stay vigilant and Know Your Rights. ICE agents are in uniform and unmarked vehicles. “Knock and Talks” focus on specific individuals and seek voluntary cooperation.

#BREAKING: The Trump administration is asking #SCOTUS for an immediate “administrative” stay of a Rhode Island district judge’s order that is otherwise requiring it to resume the distribution of SNAP benefits from other funding sources no later than the end of today.

The threats are real, but so is our power. ICE relies on fear and isolation. We can counter with preparation and solidarity. COYOTE has put together an evolving list of resources and tips for immigrants and their allies — for our current era and for all the difficult times to come.

"'The federal administration, of course, has escalated its rhetoric and its enforcement posture in the Bay Area,' Lee said. 'We know border patrol agents are being stationed on the Coast Guard Island, but let me be clear, we are fully prepared.'"

These Aren’t Kids And Hate And Misogyny Aren’t Funny!

via @moveon.org: Can protests really make a difference right now? YES. They build courage. When people see so many others in the streets, it gives them permission to speak up in their own lives—with family, at work, in their communities. Courage truly is contagious. #NoKings!!!!

👇👇

WTAF?! Republicans and their freakin' conspiracy theory delusions while they cut funding for cancer research and actual public health threats.

Senator JD Vance warned against weaponizing the IRS. Vice President JD Vance is getting ready to weaponize the IRS. Trump’s illegal meddling is one of the many reasons why millions of Americans will take to the streets on Saturday. We hope to see you there: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

This is the best way to respond to Trump’s authoritarianism. It shows in black and white that he’s lying (again). This should be the example to be done nationwide. Clips from Portland, OR; Chicago, IL #ProudBlue Video credit: gigipoetryislife/Tiktok

Mike Johnson sent everyone home & refuses to talk to Democrats. “There’s absolutely no reason for the House to be out of session,” said GOP Rep. Kevin Kiley. He’s stalling Adelita Grivalja’s swearing in to avoid a vote on the Epstein files. Most people get fired for not doing their job.

This 👇🏼is OUR flag!! 🇺🇲 I will be out on Saturday for OUR flag! I refuse to let them take OUR flag and bastardize it any longer! I'll be sporting MY stars and stripes at #NoKings Y'all should too!!🇺🇸 Be safe Be smart Be there!!! Be as courageous as you can and PUSH THE FUCK BACK!! #resist

"I voluntarily gave up my rank as the president suggested...I have no regrets about my decision. I have given up the service I loved for the freedom to do the right thing, the freedom to speak my mind and the freedom to speak in defense of our country." wapo.st/4ofqqfy

ICE consistently violates the rights of Americans by assaulting & kidnapping people for singing, playing music, & peacefully protesting. This administration is focused on normalizing violence against peaceful protestors by ice to instill fear & silence dissent. #Pinks

Senate is back in session today. 1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown. You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

Shutdown fight—to save the average American family $13k in Obamacare health insurance subsidies. GOP want to dissolve this and then allow rates to rise to any amount.

Guess who just got both the updated COVID vaccine and flu shots today? Your dear Leader Trump. Maybe you should get them too. Sincerely, An Epidemiologist Who Told You Trump Would Get COVID Booster.

Folks, this is a great group of folks who fight for social justice, public health, and a more fair & equal world. Highly recommend these folks. go.bsky.app/4dXVNkw

The Discord age-verification hack is much worse than was originally reported. 70,000 users were affected, with images of IDs, selfies, user names, IP addresses and, in some cases, financial details. Hackers are posting screenshots from over 1.5 terabytes of stolen data.

Republicans latest censorship strategy: taxing speech. Alabama is demanding that anyone who sells content in Alabama pay a 10% "sin" tax and to pay for all the damage it believes the industry does to Alabamians.

Kentucky has sued Roblox over a "Charlie Kirk assassination simulator" being accessible to children. BUT their age-verification law doesn't require Roblox to verify, so the AG is suing for *waves arms* "deceptive trade practices." The right's assault on speech was never going to stop with porn.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs. Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

Campaigns of symbolic erasure precede campaigns of actual erasure.

"'No one’s ever seen a candidate like me in Virginia and quite frankly most places across the country,' Reid boasted not long ago. He’d be right—except that, for those keeping count at home, Reid is the second Republican to be engulfed in a Nazi porn scandal in just over a year."

And @microsoft.com's MSN bows to religious fascism, whitewashing content from outlets like Christian Post that portray LGBTQ+ people as violent, controlling and focused on converting children. www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

JFC. Ron DeHaas, founder of the Christian antiporn app Covenant Eyes, has stepped down from NCOSE after his 38-year old son was charged with sexual abuse of a child. Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

A former DOGE staffer developed an AI tool that hallucinated the size of Veterans Affairs contracts. For example, it concluded that more than a thousand deals were each worth $34 million, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000. (Published June)

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Almost two weeks ago, I found out I was one of 40 people getting laid off from NBC News. Those who know me know I’ve wanted to go independent for a long time. Later this month, I’m launching @spitfirenews.com. We need journalism that is louder than ever. spitfirenews.com/p/an-introdu...

Just saying

Don’t look away
