I’ve never seen anyone lie with such arrogance.

This is how you’re supposed to treat fascists and their lies. Media pay attention.

It’s breaks our hearts to type this but unless and until all CDC’s data protections are restored and overseen by trusted professionals you should consider CDC a bad actor. If you feel you must share data, share simply summary stats. No PHI. No cross tabs. No geotags.

⚠️ STATES, LOCALS, TRIBAL NATIONS, TERRITORIES ⚠️ HHS has eliminated EVERY SINGLE SAFEGUARD FOR DATA PROTECTION AT CDC. Giving data to CDC is no longer safe and puts your residents at risk. Unless and until all CDC’s data protections are restored you should consider CDC a bad actor.

A mass shooting at a crowded bar on an idyllic South Carolina island has left four people dead and at least 20 injured, officials say. n.pr/42CYV7t

This is Trump's America anntelnaes.substack.com/p/shot-in-th...

The GOP is trying to suppress voting by requiring burdensome proof of citizenship through a rule change by the Election Assistance Commission. Don't have a passport? Changed your name on marriage? Expect a giant paperwork hassle to register to vote! Log a comment against this by Oct 20th!

Washington Post is now just a pure Republican disinformation machine benefiting from the legacy of the newspaper that no longer exists.

JD Vance blames Chuck Schumer for the fact that the White House mistakenly laid off key public health officials, including those dealing with measles and ebola. The Trump regime's message is: We demand total power, but we're not responsible for anything.

That is different from what the admin said. They claimed it was coming out of DOD R&D funds. Tariff money cannot be touched by the Trump Regime without congressional approval.

Reporters: stop using the deferential term "detaining" when talking about ICE goons' abduction of innocent people from US streets. You proper term would indeed by "abduction", but if you want to pretend neutrality you could use "capture", which at least says nothing about the captors' motives.

Save this graph for the next time @MarshaBlackburn @SpeakerJohnson @JDVance try to hold $50 Billion for rural hospitals out as a of win for the 🇺🇸 people We’re bad at math but $1.1 TRILLION in cuts (for tax cuts for the rich) > $50 BILLION They think we are all morons

A rare admission from the administration that policy choices have knock-off effects. In this case: immigration crackdowns raise your grocery bill. @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

> It is 2025 BC. I am a soldier from one of the outlying provinces called to defend the pyramid in Memphis > It is 2025 AD. I am a soldier from one of the outlying provinces called to defend the pyramid in Memphis

Doubling down on the worst of the worst miscarriages of justice.

Illinois law requires all registered vehicles to display front and back license plates, without exception. But to evade accountability, masked federal immigration agents are driving around in unmarked cars without plates. chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...?

500 hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics are at risk of closing because of the Trump-Republican big, ugly bill. Many are in rural areas. Meanwhile, Republican-held US House districts and states Trump won in 2024 rely more on ACA coverage. They're selling out their own voters.

The RIFs that began Friday will reportedly cut 65% of CISA’s 2,540 employees, one of the dumbest and most dangerous moves imaginable. CISA defends the nation’s cyber and critical infrastructure. Destroying it now only makes sense if you’re afraid of election integrity.

Ah yes, cutting teen pregnancy prevention while ending federal right to an abortion…

Meta AI adviser spreads disinformation about shootings, vaccines and trans people

With the holidays upon us, don't give to Salvation Army. Not even change. It's a scumbag "charity" run by anti-gay zealots. Habitat for Humanity is great. Your local Food Bank is great. So many "charities" are for-profit scams. Use Charity Navigator to vet them. www.charitynavigator.org

Mainstream American Protestantism is basically a bronze age-esque civic religion where the purpose of the faith and community is, expressly, to justify and reinforce state authority

Epstein files giving House Republicans over two months paid vacation and counting.

This. This. This.

The deportation order derives from the crime of which he has now been exonerated. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

So to summarize: - There is a pattern where Vought makes the RIFs too wide, apparently to flood the zone with sh*t and see who will draw protests. - They restore some people after outrage and work by us. - But we are still left with many who remain fired at the end.

Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

Trump just used the shutdown to wipe out the special ed department. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility They kidnapped a disabled child!

ICE GOONS are harassing two 15-year-old boys on bicycles in Chicago.

Republicans feel empowered by their leader's autocratic coup against the Constitution to pursue their most cartoonishly evil agenda items, like literally making it easier to kill seals and whales abcnews.go.com/Politics/wir...

The cruelty is the point

EXCLUSIVE: A cell-site simulator, commonly referred to as an IMSI-catcher or "Stingray," may have been used at the ICE facility in Portland. Analysis of cellular signals in the area showed phones receiving abnormal spikes in requests for their unique identifiers. san.com/cc/exclusive...

Is Lindsey Halligan gunning for Pam Bondi’s job? Did Trump just expose U.S. intel to China to go after John Bolton? And is the MAGA Supreme Court ready to destroy federalism? All this and more on Legal AF at 8p ET/5p PT.

So now the Administration are saying that the mass firing of CDC scientists, including many responsible for preventing outbreaks, was an “error” and many will be brought back. Whether by intention or incompetence, dismantling public health will kill people.

The talk comes ahead of a visit to the US by a Ukrainian government delegation, planned for the coming week.

I'm sitting here thinking about having a 15 daughter being chased down and abducted by masked men while the local police watch and let them carry her away to god-knows where w/zero accountability we have to understand that girls are in severe danger of sexual violence from anonymous ICE goons

Envisioning the EPA Police going door-to-door, raiding family medicine cabinets + teen girls’ dresser drawers, when the mifepristone alarms go off down at the wastewater treatment plant

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s important to understand that the demonization of ‘Antifa’ isn’t just about kneecapping the enemies of MAGA. It’s about creating an opportunity to bring down the law-enforcement apparatus on anyone who dares dissent. open.substack.com/pub/davidnei...

#AlexAlott was charged with allegedly assaulting a federal officer with an umbrella. Yesterday, she was exonerated because VIDEO disproved the accusation. But Daniel, who attended the trial to support her, was detained the same day that the trial finished. THIS IS FASCISM. FILM EVERYTHING.
