Individual States Join World Health Organization After Trump Drops It Illinois is the latest state to take this step.

The Illinois Department of Public Health sidestepped the federal government this week by independently joining the WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN). It is the second state to do so, after California joined the network last month. trib.al/0ecIsxF

Nuclear defense is why we built a base on Greenland in 1951. We had this idea 75 years ago. The base has been there since then. You don’t have to invade a country where you already have everything. Invasion just destroys what you have and much else besides.

Fed’l judge tells the administration to stop violating the rights of people in Minnesota www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

It’s been 28 days since the Epstein files were supposed to be fully released.

Gov. Walz to MS NOW:

"Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system … is a dangerous, authoritarian tactic.

"The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her."

Now that we’re all about “complying with the law” re Minnesota, does that extend to complying with the law re Epstein files?

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Truth bomb‼️

This man should be the one speaking on college campuses…

“They’re planning for us to turn on each other and make this culture war a civil war. I am begging you, please, for the love of God, for the love of our neighbors… do not take the bait.”

Watch

As a bookish kid, I admired the Supreme Court for having the character to unanimously come out against segregation in the 1950s, when no other branch of our government would have had that courage.

So it saddens me to see it lose its way and endorse judging people for the color of their skin today.

Ossoff on RFK Jr: "Absolutely he should resign. And he never should've been confirmed to begin with... in any normal Senate, he never would've gotten so much as a hearing. This is someone who throughout his public life has embraced just about every piece of quackery & pseudoscience he's come across"

It's Time to Release the Epstein Files People who fight this hard to hide something have something to hide.

We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.

JB Pritzker And The Void Of Federal Leadership Here's a template for Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer.

The question for Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer in some sense is: What do you think and feel when you watch Pritzker’s remarks? Are you inspired, like millions of Democratic Party voters? Or do you think he’s a fool for not pivoting to tariffs? www.offmessage.net/p/jb-pritzke...

If anyone in or out of government wants to chat securely as the unraveling unfolds, I’m vermontgmg.14 on Signal. That’s my normal username, everywhere, with an extra Vermont: the 14th state.

The year I was born. we basically had no idea why cancers happened and now we understand the underlying force behind it with 100% clarity and the molecular forces behind it with many orders of magnitude more resolution.

We were entirely in the dark, and now the room is lit.

Friend, with all due respect, this assumes a good faith process on the part of the DOJ. May I ask if the past seven months have illustrated anything resembling a good faith process to you?

I'm not interested in what notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell has to say. I'm interested in evidence of what she did.

Release the Epstein Files. Stop Donald's coverup.

A heat index of 102+ didn’t deter nearly 1K people from showing up in South Elgin, IL for a #WeCanLeadChange emergency pop-up #StopTheTrumpTakeover rally with @foxvalleyrising.bsky.social & many more. TOGETHER, we are strong! Hydrate, friends!

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This guy is trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize? When he's bringing war to the American people? He sent the United States Marines into the United States of America."

The Constitution protects your right to record law enforcement in public.

Bowser: "I think I speak for all Americans -- we don't believe it's legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil."

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.
