who made this

Just spoke with my CDC sources.

They said RFK Jr. has ordered officials to hide tuberculosis cases, even as three active TB cases were just reported in Maine. He’s also suppressing bird flu reports.

Pandemics don’t start with viruses they start with secrecy.

RFK Jr. must resign now!

I got you

'On Tyranny' Author Timothy Snyder on Democracy and the Risk of Tyranny YouTube video by Public Policy Forum

We are definitely facing a regime whose end point is the weakening of the state as the defender of the rule of law and which wishes to use the state to deter and to punish opposition.
-Timothy Snyder

“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach.

Can’t wait to read what really happened.

I feel like this is going to become a series…🤔

AGAIN, this is a real tweet posted by the official White House government account. Yes, really.

Greater prairie chickens lekking near Alma, Kansas. Formerly common, habitat loss and hunting nearly wiped them out in the 1930s; now they're thought to number around 500,000. The photos are a bit grainy from being shot from a distance and heavily cropped.

Love that most of your bird photos are “local.” I’m on the Missouri side of greater KC.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

Headed to El Salvador to meet with government officials and discuss return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia YouTube video by Senator Chris Van Hollen

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

The next step for Trump is to send a US citizen convicted of something like child murder and rape to CECOT in El Salvador. It'll set the precedent to send citizens there while neutralizing outrage over it because of the heinous nature of their crimes. Then it'll any felony and then protestors.

No American can afford to ignore the systematic erosion of what it means to be American.

We are way past political and ideological disagreements.

What’s at stake is our adherence to the Constitution and rule of law. What safeguards all of our rights.

Without it, we cease to be America.

Elon Musk and the Christian right call empathy "toxic" and "suicidal" — blame their shared misogyny MAGA demonizes empathy as the "pathological feminine" — and it's why women shouldn't be Supreme Court justices

Both Elon Musk and Christian nationalists call empathy "toxic," "suicidal," and even "satanic."

But what they're really worried about is that empathy is *feminine*.

And in MAGA, a woman is the worst thing a person can be. An analysis.
