Good night

This is the calm before the storm.

Wouldn't it be ironic if the shit hit the fan on 6/6/26? Hmmm

Fun Fact: Morgan Stanley said we got about three months before oil reaches $200 a barrel. Are you prepared for that? Probably not. You need 3 months worth of rice, beans, and water (and something to cook with). Also buy a $25 set of wide band radios on Amazon. Two-way comms. Stay frosty.

I struggle with the reality that some of the nation’s least wealthy people continue to support a man so deeply, irredeemably corrupt he routinely uses the power of public office to enrich himself.

Kennedy Refuses to Commit to Backing New C.D.C. Director on Vaccines

Thread 🧵

1/4

When institutions are already on fire 🔥, they hand leadership to a woman and call it progress.

When it fails? She takes the blame. 👎

Token 'punishment'.
When a good friend retired, she returned to her homeland Israel. She is Jewish married to Christian man who is from Kenya. He is Black. In Israel they were so disrespected they finally moved elsewhere

Tucker Carlson apologizes for 'misleading' people on Trump: 'We're implicated in this for sure' The former Fox News host, once a prominent supporter of the president, has been vocally opposed to how the president has handled Iran.

Too late dipshit. The coming civil war is on you. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Important decision!

RFK Jr. Won’t Commit to Following New CDC Nominee’s Vaccine Guidance Erica Schwartz, a former US deputy surgeon general, is supportive of vaccines.

On @kavehmd.bsky.social’s podcast, @angierasmussen.bsky.social and I both said that Dr. Erica Schwartz is a great pick for CDC Director, but her ability to do her job hinges on one thing:

RFK Jr. needs to STFU and get the hell out of her way.

Well, he refuses to commit to that.

Southern Poverty Law Center indicted on federal fraud charges by Alabama grand jury Justice department’s inquiry focused on the civil rights organization’s prior use of paid informants to monitor hate groups, the CEO said

The Trump regime doesn’t like the Southern Poverty Law Center labeling hate groups as hate groups, so it’s weaponizing the Justice Department to try to destroy the SPLC. This is DOJ taking the side of the Klan.

Trump extends ceasefire with Iran, says blockade ​of Iranian ports will continue | CBC News U.S. President Donald Trump said he is extending the ceasefire with Iran to give its leadership time to "come up with a unified proposal."

The headlines are saying “Trump extends ceasefire,” but here’s a reality check: The U.S. military blew a hole in an Iranian tanker 2 days ago, with the ceasefire supposedly in effect. Trump follows the rules when he feels like it.

I’m generally in favor of ridiculing Trump, but the TACO thing bothers me. He‘s threatened genocide in Iran. He’s called for the execution of members of Congress. We *want* him to chicken out.

RFK Jr. blaming immigrants for infectious disease outbreaks is a belief shared by many whom he installed in leadership roles at HHS.

Jim is one of our nation’s most eminent virologists. Allowing the flu to spread among our troops is a national security issue, putting military preparedness at risk. This is how deep the rot is among this country’s leadership.

Prince Group had operated forced-labor scam compounds across Cambodia. At least 5 high-level S&C partners were assigned to the PG bankruptcy case.

OC: Some of S&C's quotes “do not appear in chapter 15 of the US Bankruptcy Code” and “multiple cited decisions” were “misquoted or misidentified”.

One thing I do need is a good medical malpractice lawyer in TX. Does anybody know one who would work pro bono?

Worldwide flu outbreak killed 45,000 American Soldiers during World War I In September 1918 there were two killers in the world. World War I, which would claim 20 million lives by its end, and the flu pandemic known as the Spanish Flu, is estimated to have killed between at...

~53,000 military personnel died in combat in WW1. ~45,000 other soldiers died from the flu. #PeteHegseth may be ignorant of history, careless about the lives of those in uniform, but the army remembers. www.army.mil/article/2104...

We're approaching late-stage Dubya numbers here, folks

Victims and witnesses often don’t come forward because they lack protection and actual support. As proven by many people on BlueSky who use any opportunity to attack women for their accents, perceived wealth, or for not speaking out at the “right time.”

There is no strategy or plan here.

healthy. But the truth is that today in the US there is no health security. The interest in the collective health of the nation is being swept aside by the anti-science, anti-vaccine medical freedom movement, where everyone, including soldiers, can do what ever they please no matter how much it

An emerging contageous virus, like a flu virus, will easily spread in the confines of a military base or a military operation…unless the troops are vaccinated. So the brilliant leaders of HHS and DOD decide to stop protecting the troops by no longer requiring flu vaccination. In 1918, before

If it sounds too good to be true, I can tell you going door to door in neighborhoods is an incredibly powerful technology.

We did it in 1994(!) canvassing against an anti-gay referendum in freaking Idaho. And, we won! With honest face-to-face conversation, it's possible to change minds and votes.

Trump Is Said to Be in Talks to Send Afghans Who Aided U.S. Forces to Congo

The Trump administration, after shutting down a resettlement program for Afghans who aided U.S. forces, is now negotiating to relocate up to 1,100 of those individuals to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Virginia, please vote and stop this insanity. We’ll have your backs in the midterms.

Trump Is Asking the Supreme Court For More Help With His Anti-Immigrant Agenda Green card holders enjoy broad protections from removal under federal law. The administration is looking for ways around it.

friends if a statute says the government can't treat a Lawful Permanent Resident like a newcomer to this country unless he "has committed" particular crimes, are mere criminal charges enough, Y/N?

also the Supreme Court will be addressing this question tomorrow
