The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Extraordinary that the Texas government would be so corrupt that it would have to black out more than 80% of its emails with Elon Musk.

@gallego.senate.gov Great hit on Jen Psaki's show tonight. You're one of my Senators, whom I proudly voted for!!

We have breaking news in Inside Medicine. We had heard rumors of RIFs to CDC. But this is the first visual confirmation that it has occurred tonight, and at high levels in the agency. Here is what we know...and then some well-sourced rumors (but rumors, nonetheless, not confirmed) 🧵...

Trump got his COVID19 vaccine today. He will always have access to everything he needs to maintain his health while denying others the same.

Seen on LinkedIn: “Staff at Centers for Disease Control and Prevention across multiple programs being fired tonight, including all current (civilian) Epidemic Intelligence Service, and several people working on the Ebola response.”

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

@who.int calls for protection of public health excellence in the US CDC

Folks should care *way* more about FL ending childhood vax mandates than they apparently do. This is *huge.* Other red states are going to follow suit, & national herd immunity will be lost. W/o it, *everyone* will be increasingly exposed to diseases we haven't been for years. That's important...

#CDC was alerted to 3 more #flu deaths in kids, bringing the total for the 2024-25 season (so far) to 278 — only 10 fewer than during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. About 90% of those kids weren't vaccinated against flu. So tragic. Kids should be vaccinated against flu. www.cdc.gov/fluview/surv...

Right-wing media are pushing for a more exclusionary America, calling for targeted deportations of noncriminal migrants and elected officials they deem “not American.”

Friendly reminder that AI data centers are working overtime to help cook the planet. If the fires are scaring you— start using ‘-AI’ at the end of all Google searches to cut out any AI response to your query. Refusal is possible & responsible. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵 An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.

📽️ WATCH: Student Kenneth Santizo captured ICE and FBI officers stopping a family on their way to church in the Boston suburbs. Agents broke the window, forced Daniel Flores-Martinez to his knees and slammed him to the ground while his children and his wife, a U.S. citizen, sobbed in the car.

“[T]he greatest crime of the poor in the eyes of the wealthy has always been to strike back. To fail to suffer in silence and instead disrupt their lives and their fantasies of a compassionate society that coincidentally set them on top. To say no.” -Shannon Chakraborty #timetoresist #laborday

Republicans know they can't win unless they cheat. Once again, they are gerrymandering to suppress the vote and undermine democracy. @govwesmoore.bsky.social, Maryland must be ready to fight back and fight for a better future! #MessWithTexas #FAFO #MDIndivisible

THIS IS HUGE! The FIRST 100% effective HIV PrEP drug, Lenacapavir, is APPROVED AND GOING GLOBAL. The makers are providing AFFORDABLE access to the drug in the United States AND beyond, signing ROYALTY-FREE licensing agreements with SIX generic manufacturers to produce AND supply it. 🧪🧵⬇️

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

No Kings Day was one of the largest days of protest in US history. From deep red small towns to our largest cities, millions of people turned out to make it clear that the American people will not bow to fascism. #NoKings

Remember that the ICE agents claimed they were looking for a totally different person before they smashed this guy’s car windows? And how he had asylum already? Well, looks like that might not have even been a ruse. ICE didn’t even file a notice to appear in court, they clearly had nothing on him.

NEW from @joshgerstein.bsky.social: You’ve heard of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Now meet the second man erroneously deported to El Salvador in violation of a legal settlement: Daniel Lozano-Camargo. Until now, he’d only been identified by a pseudonym in court. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

I've been shown what purports to be a draft version of a soon to be released Executive Order reorganizing the State Dept. The chain of custody is a bit indirect and it's important to be clear that there can be many versions of such orders circulating and they can be subject to subsequent edits etc.

1. The DOJ has sent threatening letters to several medical journals, focused around whether these journals are spreading misinformation that harms the American people and suppressing alternative viewpoints. I study how the norms and institutions of science facilitate discovery and self-correction.

I think a lot abt how marginalized people are expected to be perfect just to be treated w/ basic dignity, just to access legal protection. But democracy can’t mean rights for the respectable few. It has to mean fair and just treatment even for those seen as least deserving. That’s the real test.

Just a reminder that Trump/DOJ continuing to let Abrego Garcia sit in CECOT is *a crime*. Deprivation of rights under color of law is a crime. Was it an "error" at first? Maybe. But once they were aware of the error, and ordered by a judge to return him, and then refusing, it's willful 1/

Government funding runs out on March 14. Republicans can’t pass a bill alone, so Democrats have real leverage here. We’re calling on Democrats to commit to withholding their votes and insist on an end to the Trump-Musk coup rampaging across the government.
