This should be a bigger story.
A Reagan-appointed judge just ruled Trump’s Energy Secretary illegally ran a secret panel of climate deniers to cook up a biased report and sabotage clean air rules.
It was @asharangappa.bsky.social who first put this idea in my head, but really starting to feel like they're gonna try to get Maduro to cop to some insane 2020 election conspiracy in exchange for leniency

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds
This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror.

This. A handful of Americans have the power to stop this NOW, and they are refusing to.
I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity.
They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity
This should alarm everyone. The FBI searched a journalist’s home and seized her work devices, despite no criminal charges. This is a direct threat to press freedom.
Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”
Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela
Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.
Listen to @bradleywhitford.bsky.social
The government shutdown is especially tough on men, who are losing $1.00 for every 75¢ a woman loses.
Doing studies to make the proof. Reverse engineering a conclusion is not how science or medicine work
Where are the commanding officers of those sailors in the background. How are they letting this happen?
I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane
Same guy who lied that immigrants were eating pets. Actual statistics show he's lying here, too.
The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social
"There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”
My quote of the day
Nobody ever thanks you for saving them from the disease they didn't know they were going to get.

This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.
I’m so grateful that I have tenure and the academic freedom to call it like I see it. “Dr. Kathleen Bachynski, a professor of public health at Muhlenberg College, described Kennedy’s comments as “absolute gibberish” and slammed the HHS secretary as a “dangerous buffoon” who is “threatening us all.”
RFK Jr. lackey Vinay Prasad single-handedly decided to restrict access to the COVID19 vaccine.
In part, he used the more restrictive European vaccine guidelines as justification.
But those countries also have nationalized healthcare. Their citizens won’t go broke for a hospital stay.
Oh and we need to amp this up, fire up people to fight now. Don't let a three-day-weekend approaching cool your anger. Channel it, focus it. RFK Jr. needs to go. Make it your mission starting today.
We need well organized, well coordinated mass demonstrations across the land - 20 mil. at a pop
Universal work stoppages
Resistance flags and attire EVERYWHERE
Everyone trolling trump and the GOP like Newsom
All-in from entertainers, artists, athletes, public figures
Unrelenting good trouble
👏👏👏👏
DC statehood is now an imperative. No more dicking around. Next Dem majority, get it done immediately.
