"To characterize the document the White House produced as a health care 'plan' is overly generous.

Why Trump’s pitiful new health care ‘plan’ is even worse than it appears
The White House’s health care gambit isn’t just a sham, it also diverts the process from an actually helpful solution.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Resistence is NOT futile
Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”
He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”
Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.
Marriott still has my business.

This is how I would respond to the email Musk sent to government employees.
1. Slipped out the back, Jack
2. Made a new plan, Stan
3. Didn’t need to be coy, Roy, just listen to me
4. Hopped on the bus, Gus, don’t need to to discuss much
5. Dropped off the key, Lee and set myself free

I have long believed that not enough has been written about how GOP members have felt physically intimidated by Trump supporters. It doesn’t excuse their cowardice, but it still deserves more attention.
“They’re Scared Shitless”: The Threat of Political Violence Informing Trump’s Grip on Congress
With the president smashing norm after norm, even lawmakers within his party have feared for their personal safety, and at least one has told confidants that it has swayed his decision-making.

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.
The average person with the flu gives it to around 1.4 people. The average person with measles gives it to between 12 and 18 people.
Measles cases continue to surge globally, putting millions of children at risk.
More than 10 million people globally were infected with measles in 2023, a 20% increase from the previous year.

Too bad we couldn’t prevent this… #sarcasm #getvaccinated
Most of the cases are among school-aged children; at least thirteen patients have been hospitalized.
Updates: confirmed measles cases, hospitalizations in West Texas

The real fight isn’t about bathrooms or drag queens—it’s about who holds power & at whose expense. Culture war is just a distraction, keeping working people too busy fighting each other rather than noticing who’s actually robbing us blind: billionaires—not each other!

Protesters in front of the US Treasury building.
"Elon Musk has got to go."
Yes, yes he does. No one voted for this billionaire who has taken possession of several government buildings and locked employees out of their computers and offices.
All, we presume, with the permission of Trump.
