I’m tired of pretending this is all normal. We’ve reached a point of no return. There is no more beyond this. This is the end. We can’t pretend to be okay with this. We don’t need words anymore. Words have expired. We need action. Globally. Something has got to change. It has to.
Because of the layoffs at NIOSH, multiple lifesaving programs have been shut down even though they’re required by law.
i would imagine hasan knows, rationally, not to talk in situations like this. he did anyway because cops of all stripes are very good at making you feel like in *just this one particular situation* it makes more sense to talk a bit. don't ever give in to that impulse.

“The Texas National Guard (TNG), which has around 23,000 members, signed its 287(g) task force agreement with ICE on April 11.”
Dr Oz says being healthy is a patriotic duty
Worse, he says they spend 70% of Medicare & Medicaid funds on chronic illness & aren’t “getting their money’s worth”
This is the quiet part said out loud.
They don’t want to cure chronic illness, they want us to take the blame. They don’t want to pay.
60% of Americans have a chronic condition. Among people over 65, it's 95%.
Saying most of our health care spending goes to chronic conditions is just another way of saying it goes to health care.

"Woke" -- changing norms through social pressure -- is not, contra the reactionary centrists, another form of tyranny. It's the *alternative* to tyranny. It's new norms winning through the marketplace of ideas. The alternative is what we see now: enforcing norms via the threat of state violence.
The masked ICE agents are in DC today, as rumored, whisking people off the street while covering their faces completely.
It's darkly funny how little attention the masked secret police receive. Last year it seemed that the chattering class would never shut up about masked undergraduates. Perhaps they saw the encampments as more of a threat to their interests than the jackboots?

Trump policy: Newark loses its functioning airport and gains a concentration camp.
We don't "know" the current crop any better than the pre-Internet ones, because there were tons of ways to "know" them before the Internet. Newspaper profiles, documentaries, books and videos they'd release or be featured in, speaking tours. None of those were Internet based!
Some of you act like the concept of news was invented in the past twenty years. Do you really think people weren't familiar with Nazis or scammers before the Internet?
When they say “immigrants” they mean “servants” and when they say “expats” they mean “masters”

There is this very surreal feeling when you are planning out hopeful events for 5-6 months away while also stockpiling medication, checking your go bag, and making sure you are ready to leave your home at the drop of a hat. Also you are working all day like nothing is going on in the wider world.
VICTORY, THEY FUCKING PROVED THE COVID/MAST CELL LINK IS THE SPIKE PROTEIN

article to come later this weekend but here is the Cliffs Notes version:
THE entire NIOSH engineering group has been fired among most ALL of NIOSH. It is devastating. www.cbsnews.com/news/worker-...

"You can't reform a carton of sour milk," Fetterman told Ben-Ami, accordint to notes from the meeting, referring to the Palestinians. Fetterman said he did not believe in a two-state solution and claimed he had never met an Arab person who would condemn Hamas. "Correction," the notes from the meeting stated. "Only a single Arab he has met with that staff was present for wouldn't outright condemn Hamas." Fetterman wen on to make statements that shocked people. In opposing a cease-fire, he said, "Let's get back to killing." A person who heard the conversation told me, "He said, 'Kill them all.'" In a statement, Fetterman denied the account, adding, "Any reference to killing was solely about Hamas, and I do support the destruction of that organization, down to its last member."
I know many are desensitized to this since it has essentially been US policy since October 7 (not to mention before), but this is actually the most scandalous passage in the Fetterman piece.
