Tweet from Paula Scanlan that reads, "the number of people I still see wearing face masks in the year 2026 is genuinely concerning" Tweet from Jerome Adams that reads, "Why do you care? Honestly asking. I thought the original mantra was “to each their own.” It sounds like you’re wanting to impose your priorities/belief systems on others while saying they shouldn’t impose theirs on you? What am I missing? Also, beyond Covid – many people have found wearing a mask, has lowered their allergy symptoms- and pollen counts are rising this time of year. And Asian cultures have worn masks for years – are you bothered by Asians? Again honestly asking. 🤷🏽‍♂️"

Appreciate former Sugreon General Jerome Adams pushing back on anti-mask sentiment on Twitter/X

Somehow there's always an unlimited budget for war.

Congress must return immediately and vote to put an end to this war.

Every Senator should be on the record—the American people deserve to know which of their leaders supports another potentially bloody and costly war in the Middle East.

No war with Iran.

Interesting -- seems like he thinks it should be open season to kill ICE agents

Wouldn't it be nice to live in a country that held powerful people accountable for crimes?

“We simply have redefined due process to mean ‘summary execution if you don’t agree with us’ thank you, no questions at this time.”

FDA won’t review Moderna application for first mRNA-based flu vaccine The decision, which shocked company officials, comes as the FDA says it will take a stricter approach to federal vaccine approvals.

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist.

Cool.

Exactly

An argument for the use of "people with lived experience" where applicable.

In a new paper, we mention people with lived experience had a role in the development of a care process algorithm... but we must've used the word 'patients' somewhere, b/c the journal is asking for patient consent forms!

Just a reminder that when the United States of America invited a healthy young Donald Trump to represent his country on the global stage, he secured five different draft deferments to get out of it.

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...

City Hall steps and balconies covered in students

Seattle City Hall right now, where students from around the city have gathered after a mass walk-out to protest ICE:

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

He doesn't want the Washington Post to survive any more than Trump wants the Kennedy Center to thrive or Musk wanted Twitter to serve as a genuine global town square.

They want to co-opt these venerable institutions, and when they can't, they destroy them. Deliberately. And that's what's happening.

It's horrifying!

If I were MacKenzie Scott, I would simply start a newspaper based in Washington DC.

It remains wild to me that they got so may people on board with gutting anything resembling social welfare in the name of “cutting costs” and people believed them, meanwhile they’re just ripping the copper wiring out of the drywall of what’s left to enrich their senile dear leader

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Masks Off Over the past year and, in particular, over the past month, the United States has suffered an alarming rise in the number of verbal threats, physical assaults, and even murders committed by agents of ...

As I noted here, ICE's masks have given them impunity to inflict harm without consequences, just like the Klan.

And just like the Klan, when they're unmasked by new laws, they'll be weakened across the board.

Law enforcement officers have always been unmasked in this country until ICE started wearing them last year.

*That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.

I'm 52 and never imagined anything like this would happen. But we've got three more years of this monster/clown president, so I can only hope it won't get worse.

Minneapolis police chief warns officers: Stop unlawful force by ICE or lose your job Chief Brian O’Hara says he’ll fire city police officers if they don’t intervene when immigration agents use unlawful force.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need a lot more of this.

Metrodora was such a debacle. I hope this will stop Dr. Laura Pace from her pattern of over-promising and then abandoning patients.

I expect every single law enforcement officer of any kind to be willing to die rather than risk killing a person unnecessarily.

Anyone who does not like that tradeoff should not seek to carry a gun on behalf of the government.

It's really that simple.

The work being done by these observers of ICE to document, illuminate, and share what is being done in Minneapolis, in below freezing temperatures, given all that has transpired is so remarkably courageous. They are being killed for that courage, as ICE further reveals their cruelty and cowardice.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.
