This is horrific. We have to do everything in our power to stop this. If not, who are we?

Brazil approves the first vaccine against dengue. The disease killed 6000 Brazilians in 2024.

This is a really remarkable achievement. I got dengue in 2015, and even with the mild case I had, it was a really miserable experience.
Anvisa aprova vacina brasileira contra dengue, a 1ª do mundo em dose única.

Após 12 anos de pesquisa e cinco de testes, imunizante foi produzido pelo Instituto Butantan. Em 2024, a doença matou quase 6 mil brasileiros.

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

this is an insane response for basically any shooter profile and motivation
WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump administration orders 500 more National Guard members to Washington after shooting, Hegseth says.

This is a deeply unsurprising response, but I will repeat it yet again: we—DC residents—are unified in stating that we want federal agents and the National Guard out of our city, and they do not keep us safer. This has always been about control, not public safety.
US Defence Secretary Hegseth: Trump has asked for 500 additional troops to be deployed to Washington, DC, after two National Guard members were shot.

Folks, two things can true at the same time.

These 2 National Guard members should not have been shot, and it's a disgusting act of violence. And, Trump + Miller have deliberately deployed them to incite division { violence. That's part of Miller's plan. They have no reason to be in our cities.
National Guard members should never have been deployed in Washington, DC.

Yeah, some of us have been paying attention since it happened.

Here's hoping we learn more as the day progresses.

Ms. Kuyateh was one of 19 third-country nationals sent to Ghana on Nov. 6. At least 61 TCNs have been removed there since September.

Others report similar treatment. Nigerians were forced to cross into Togo w/o documents, rendering them essentially stateless

Rabbiatu Kuyateh was detained this summer at her annual ICE check-in, her son said. She moved to the D.C. area 30 years ago as she fled civil war in Sierra Leone.

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.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day when we honor the memory of those killed simply for being.
Violence comes from weapons & fists just as it can come from ink on paper.
Today, I remember Elisa Rae Shupe, a veteran lost to anti-trans policies.
"Love recognizes no barriers.” Maya Angelou
"You cannot erase non-binary and transgender people because you give birth to more of us each day." - Elisa Rae Shupe 🏳️‍⚧️
I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.

She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.

RIP Elisa.

Exposing the Epstein Network is not going to be politically convenient. If your interest in unravelling a child rape network is to only take down Trump, you aren't interested in justice. Sure it can take him down, but you must adult up; accept it'll take down some of your favourite politicians too.

A fly who feeds on shit can thrive, but never return to polite society where the bees & butterflies roam. A fly will forever be a shit eater.

Every person in Trump's circle thrives on shit. But that's who they are now: shit eaters. They can never be brought back to polite society.

Remember the immigration raid on the apartment complex in Chicago almost two months ago? The one with the Black Hawk helicopter and federal agents rappelling on ropes? @ProPublica decided to take a deeper look. We found little evidence to support the government’s claims. 🧵
