“Originalism”. Have you heard of it? It’s the white supremos’ response to the Warren Court’s expansion of civil rights in the 1960’s. COMPLETELY MADE UP BULLSHIT that rewrote history AND the Constitution.

This COUP was a 55 year process. Their project is almost complete. It’s called Project 2025.

So...if a Russian asset wanted to sabotage the American government's outbreak surveillance system in preparation for biological warfare against the US population, how would their absolute dream celebrate-victory-with-vodka-and-caviar outcome look different from what just happened at the CDC?

Don't undercount their hatred of science. Science challenges received truths and propaganda. They don't understand it, or they'd realize how dependent they are on it.

I can. The regime thinks it has enough resources to keep itself safe, while the more Americans it can kill and impoverish, the easier it is to hold power.

This is stupid and evil, but that is the Republican identity now.

Why is this administration pro-disease? I simply cannot understand this.

Lena Sun @lenasun.bsky.social · 21h

NEW: @CDCgov hit hard by massive firings that several staff describe to me as a “bloodbath.”
Among those RIFd:

—leadership of global health center
—leadership of the measles outbreak response; 1/4

Christ.

Lena Sun @lenasun.bsky.social · 21h

RIF notices also sent to the CDC’s 2023 and 2024 class of civilian EIS officers known as its main disease detectives, per sources. These are the people who are typically the first responders in an outbreak. 4/4

I wonder if all the Portland protesters could sing Baby Shark on repeat … that might just be enough to drive the ICE agents away.

I love that a shark has joined the resistance!

Just returned from a South Portland pumpkin patch.

Reporting sightings of a petting zoo, corn maze, hot cider, hay rides, donuts, the most adorable baby in a bunny suit, and tons of happy kids holding their chosen pumpkins proudly.

What a hellscape!!
