It’s the Feds making Portland look like a war zone— not the protesters.

And honestly, these protesters are brilliant. They’re flipping the whole authoritarian cosplay on its ass!

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)

Anarchism and chaos aren’t the same.

Anarchism and abolition go hand in hand.

Both with a focus on building a more humanistic society through interconnecting self-sustaining communities.

Something we need now more than ever.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

Question: who’s your president?

Seems we have a nationwide problem, not just a Texas problem.

I’m going to assume you wouldn’t want to be blamed for Trump’s autocracy. So don’t blame us for Abbott’s.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Hundreds of children in multiple states are in quarantine and on remote learning due to measles outbreaks.

The decline in MMR vaccinations has resulted in the US experiencing an increase of measles cases with 1563 total cases & 3 deaths since January.

If you’re in El Paso, home to Ft. Bliss and Biggs Field, and need food assistance, the Mustard Seed Cafe (where I volunteered) provides hot fresh food Wed-Friday. No questions asked. It’s main purpose was providing meals in a restaurant and dignified setting for unhoused, but is now for all… free.

It’s heartbreaking that the richest country in the world needs food banks to feed its people but it’s unbelievable that our billionaire politicians have forced our military to feed themselves and their families from food banks.

People have no idea of the dangers of the firings at the CDC.

The people who work there care about your health.

We are at risk, because the republicans refused to TALK.

Do you consider yourself conservative or libertarian? Trump’s attacks on renewables:

* Attack free markets
* Stifle innovation
* Take lives
* Eliminate jobs
* Raise energy costs
* Harm national security

This regime is not on your side either.

www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump’s hatred for renewables means the US is falling behind the rest of the world

As well as embracing ‘beautiful coal’, the president has set about obliterating clean energy projects
