I am so angry I can’t stand it

One pro immigrant protester being carried unconscious to the other end of the street here in Paramount, CA, was hit by a federal agency vehicle. Getting attention from protester medics.

Greetings! A large immigration operation and subsequent protest in Paramount, CA has led to a large amount of gas and “less lethal” munitions. Situation ongoing. Will update as I can.

"You can start thinking about getting COVID as almost as an accelerant to aging. The viral infection accelerates the aging process in people," said Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly, director of the Clinical Epidemiology Center at Washington University in St. Louis. abc7news.com/covid-long-h...

1) If you have had Covid you are at risk. 2) THEY AREN’T FUCKING “BOOSTERS” THEY ARE NEW SHOTS. THE VIRUS MUTATES. 3) They are able to do this because the uptake is already so low. This is not the end game, it’s an opening gambit.

If you see a mask, wear a mask. No need to ask them anything. No need to ask them if you should wear a mask for them. No need to tell them about how it would be mildly irritating for you.

Also, many people are more vulnerable than they realize. Have you had Covid? You’re more than likely one of the “vulnerable”? Many serious conditions are silent, until they aren’t. Health supremacy harms all of us. Wear a mask, clean the air, stay home when sick.

The “covid is only a threat to the vulnerable” narrative primed the pump for the eugenics movement we’re seeing now. It conditioned people to see the disabled & vulnerable as acceptable losses. People who were probably going to “die anyways”. It paved the way for fascism.

I firmly believe that this--anti-mask/free-floating ableism re COVID--is one of the reasons why people became cruel, disaffected and disarticulated enough from any sense of the collective good, disarticulated enough to happily usher in technofascism.

Cool how the net result of COVID-19 wasn't preventing deaths or changing society for the better or anything it was just letting all of you normal people indulge in your complete sociopathy toward the disabled freely and without restraint

Oh look, United Farm Workers just won an injunction against Kristi Noem and her fascist fed freaks who were running around grabbing farm workers for no reason. Sí se puede and fuck right off, Border Patrol!

there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch

Well yeah. We’re going to need spares if we poison some of them

I can’t believe JD Vance killed the pope. Ridiculous

You must shake this denial. The easy reality we all used to live in is gone. We have been lied to and abandoned by leaders who promised a different world. You deserve better. So we must work together to make that happen, and we cannot make each other sicker while doing it.

And y’all taking your masks off are complicit— You are letting them, you are hand in hand in that push toward forgetting by pretending there is no ongoing risk to yourselves or others. You, your loved ones, get repeatedly infected, brush off ongoing symptoms in pursuit of a 2019 normal long gone.

I don’t think it’s widely appreciated yet just how much COVID disinformation is an assault on democracy. COVID conspiracy theories were the best recruitment tool for the far right in decades. They’ve left us damaged—undermined faith in our governing institutions, science, and modern medicine.

Ya don’t say??

Cory Booker just spoke for 25 hours straight about defending democracy. Here's why we’re not clapping. — In 2019, he backed anti-BDS legislation — In 2019, he told AIPAC: “If I forget thee, O Israel…” — In 2021, he pushed normalization with Arab states—at Palestinians' expense

I keep thinking about @sarahkendzior.bsky.social : "They don't mind being caught, they mind being punished. Learn the difference. Trump and his backers have been committing crimes with impunity for decades." Suffering no consequences is part of flexing their power. It reveals their collaborators.

Today is the 10-year anniversary of the U.S.-backed war on Yemen. While much of the media is focused on a leaked national security group chat, the victims of U.S. warfare on Yemen are gravely overlooked.

It would be so funny if just one time they got as mad at republicans as they get at college kids who don’t like watching children get massacred

I hate it when I accidentally tell all my secrets to the editor of the Atlantic. Real oopsie doopsies

Yes sir, you’re getting it

They’re bombing Gaza again. Horrors upon horror www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

The 10 Senate Democrats who voted with Trump to advance MAGA funding bill: -Catherine Cortez Masto -Dick Durbin -John Fetterman -Kirsten Gillibrand -Maggie Hassan -Angus King -Gary Peters -Brian Schatz -Chuck Schumer -Jeanne Shaheen Primary them all & elect a new Senate leader or start a new party.

NEW: Family of Mahmoud Khalil just released footage of his arrest “Stop resisting” “He’s not resisting” Agents seen continuing to ignore Mahmoud’s wife as she asks basic questions

Mahmoud Khalil has been quietly sent 1000+ miles away to a Louisiana ICE facility. Note this ACLU/RFK Human Rights report from *just months ago* on ICE detention in LA — "Inside the Black Hole: Systemic Human Rights Abuses Against Immigrants Detained & Disappeared in Louisiana"

Everybody's got one assignment right now and it's to make the work of this administration as hard as possible — not to do it for them.

Yes, the high ranking Democrats are in on it. Yes, this was obvious many years ago: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/ten-articl...

We just received word that the DOJ has begun removing data detailing criminal charges and convictions related to Trump loyalists. This started with records from the January 6th insurrection, but additional records are now being erased. We will keep you updated once we have more info.

Please read—this is becoming serious!

The Capitol Police arrested a group of peaceful protesters who demonstrated today in the Cannon House Office Building against the Trump’s decision to freeze foreign aid and lay off thousands of USAID workers. The president has made his message clear: disagree with them, and they will come after you.

Since Trump has claimed Elon doesn’t run DOGE, we wanted to make sure you know who is running our government. This list has been updated with 15 names.

Become an Anarchist or Forever Hold Your Peace crimethinc.com/becomeananar... Neither courts nor laws will suffice to halt the descent into autocracy. Massive numbers of people will have to take direct action on their own initiative, on a decentralized basis—in other words, to become anarchists. 🏴

Three updates: 1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

if you were accidentally fired while transporting a nuclear warhead and currently need a place to stay with said warhead please know that i have a sizable backyard and an abiding desire to be a nuclear power

I keep seeing "Why aren't the Americans striking" and "Because our healthcare is tied to our jobs" and it never gets less true or less depressing

Maybe I went to a farm and sniffed up some avian flu in my sneaky cat nose. How would you even know? Not like they’re tracking that stuff for farm workers, who are literally such important people for us all

More than 300 FAA employees have been dismissed.

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?

You can do it. I’m staring at you supportively because I believe in you

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Note: In 2024 alone, Musk’s enterprises were awarded approximately $3 billion across nearly 100 federal contracts, averaging about $8 million per day.

Ignoring disability rights activists on post-viral chronic illness led to widespread Long Covid, ignoring animal rights activists on factory farming led to widespread avian flu, ignoring environmental activists on deforestation is going to lead to even more pandemics. When will we start listening?

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

What the actual *?! The White House has designated Mr. Musk’s office, the United States DOGE Service, as an entity protected from public records requests and most judicial intervention until at least 2034, by classifying its documents as presidential records.

Maybe if we tell them there’s a student encampment inside the White House democrats will spring to action.

The U.S. Labor Department has been temporarily blocked by court order from sharing data with Elon Musk and his staffers. 🥄
