This is a must read if you are concerned about what’s happening in the U.S. and want to see why the Trump Action Tracker is such a valuable resource

Great for the Trump Action Tracker to get some attention!

Q: Did the president ask the DOJ to close the Homan investigation and does he have to return the $50,000 LEAVITT: Mr. Homan never took the $50,000, so you should get your facts straight ... you had FBI agents going undercover to try and entrap one of the president's top allies and supporters

Is it really *that hard* to say that it is totally morally wrong to say to people who have come here legally, worked, paid taxes, built their lives here, contributed to Britain, that they have to fuck off now, rather than "unfunded".

Important study (that rather flies in the face of recent vaccine decisions) that considers the risk of Covid (and long Covid) on the cardiovascular system and the need to note and rehabilitation to better manage CV symptoms. Also suggest vaccines are an important tool to prevent such complications

An abundance of caution should mean not overturning a 30 years recommendation that was shown to protect babies.

“ABC and CBS are making a serious miscalculation. Their servility to Trump will not earn them peace, only greater pressure.” That’s the German professional association of journalists, @djv.de, calling on major US media to support their journalists instead of preemptively silencing them.

Shame on Downing Street for going along with this. So much for being committed to a free press

A must read from @drjenndowd.bsky.social When “Stuff Happens” After Vaccination open.substack.com/pub/jenndowd...

In the U.S., about 1 in 5 people live in rural areas. That’s 60 million people, yet their challenges are sometimes left out of public health conversations. 👇👇 thosenerdygirls.substack.com/p/health-in-...?

🚨 Don’t let VAERS myths fool you! You may have seen claims that “VAERS proves COVID-19 vaccines killed kids.” That’s not what VAERS shows.

Why do we give newborn babies the #HepatitisBvaccine? This is an important tool to protect infants and children from hepatitis B, a virus that can cause serious illness like #liverfailure, cirrhosis, and liver #cancer. thosenerdygirls.substack.com/p/why-do-we-...

There are tons of myths and misconceptions out there about the #flushot. Time to break some of them down and set the record straight! 👇 thosenerdygirls.org/busting-flu-... #vaccineswork

NOTICE that Trump is calling the drugs allegedly smuggled by "Venezuelan members of Tren de Aragua" ARE WEAPONS. This is so obviously pretext to justify internment and deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.

Another must read - this is happening at break-neck speed and the world needs to start taking notice.. and no, it's not being hyperbolic or alarmist.

Let’s get this straight, once and for all: Homophobia is not an opinion. Transphobia is not an opinion. Xenophobia is not an opinion. Misogyny is not an opinion. Racism is not an opinion. It’s hatred. — Are we all clear on this?

The Supreme Court's "shadow docket" allows justices to effectively make rulings in secret without explaining their decisions. Is it any wonder why so many do not trust the Roberts court? https://youtu.be/xtiISydG9l0?feature=shared

Every decent politician should be ‘disturbed’ by Tommy Robinson’s fascist march in London and Musk’s calls for violence on our streets. Every decent politician should stop claiming this horror is an expression of ‘free speech’. It’s vicious, racist incitement. DO something about it.

I don’t even know what to say.. dark times looming, and seemingly we have learnt nothing.. nothing at all..

'Die Rechtsanalystin Asha Rangappa stellte fest: „Die Amerikaner werden dazu konditioniert, ihre Mitbürger zu verpetzen, die sich nicht an die Parteilinie halten, was man äußern darf. Und die Arbeitgeber machen mit. Das ist die neue Geheimpolizei.“'

Just looked again on X. While Keir is posting about business, Shabana as home secretary called out violence against police yesterday but nothing about the racism or Musk. Silence from other bigwigs like Lammy, Cooper, Reeves..

This is McCarthy era behaviour and shame on the university for losing 160 staff n students this way- the accused do not even know what the complaints were about and are not allowed to see the accusations which seems quite frankly out of the 1984 playbook

Can you imagine your child being shot in school, and having the worst day of your life *overshadowed* by a different shooting, whose aftermath somehow will be leveraged to make it more likely more shootings will occur in the future?

Charlie Kirk’s death is awful and abhorrent but it’s appalling that the President is calling for national mourning for a right wing propagandist and hasn’t said a word about Officer David Rose or the brave employees at the CDC

Makes me fear that this is Trump's burning of the Reichstag - the excuse to fully militarize the state

Keir Starmer called me and the Green Party "Plastic Progressives." My response:

2/ IF you are going to interview Makary, get up to speed on the many tests done or underway on vaccine safety and effectiveness. You can start here: www.cidrap.umn.edu/adult-non-fl...

Why does he even need to be “urged”?! Spineless

Just heard a phenomenal presentation by @chrischirp.bsky.social (organised by @grassrootsforeurope.org) on the TrumpActionTracker (frightening) but also constructive project in response - so glad to hear about that and thank you, and thanks @sandylaping.bsky.social

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

🚨The Supreme Court today gives Trump a license to engage in racial profiling, with Justice Kavanaugh writing in concurrence to expressly endorse ICE and Border Patrol targeting any Latinos they observe in Los Angeles speaking Spanish and then demanding their papers.

Justice Sotomayor is crystal clear in dissent as to what's happening: "We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."

This is one good illustration why diversity on the court matters: Sotomayor can imagine a version of the world where this ruling would affect a younger version of herself, her family and people that look like her. Kavanaugh cannot.

What the actual..

70 years ago.

"Reform has touted its plan as a “legal reset”. But it is better understood as a total rejection of the UK’s postwar international commitments to protect the human rights of everyone within its jurisdiction."

This type of fear-mongering and misinformation fuels vaccine hesitancy. For a physician to make statements that are factually incorrect is not only unethical but dangerous.

A tenet of Fascism is keep repeating lies and people will become so confused about what is the truth that they’ll start to believe them. We all have a responsibility to keep repeating the truth in the face of politically-motivated lying. Don’t just roll your eyes, speak up.

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

This is frankly one of the worst things Donald Trump has ever posted, which is really saying something

Delighted to be speaking on this on Tuesday!

NEW: The anti-Trump protest happening right now on the streets of Washington DC is HUGE! It looks like tens of thousands have joined. This is the view from 16th Street - people stretching as far as the eye can see 👏

Look I'm not a lawyer or a politics expert but this looks like the behavior of someone who does not believe the courts will apply to them
