I agree. I just read this paper and it is spot on.
READ. THIS.
I am trying to help people focus and connect the dots. We cannot continue to wait and see what happens next. The apathy makes me so frustrated. Wake up. We can and must outsmart them.
He doesn't want to die in jail, where he belongs. He plans to never leave the WH. He is willing to have a civil war so he can keep stealing our money and strengthen white supremacy. They have a plan. Every action has a purpose. We need a plan and immediate action. People will dieβ¦for his comfort.
The president is trying to create a situation to declare martial law. That is why he is calling Portland a war torn city. It is why he is mobilizing ICE and military in states and cities known to protest. He wants to provoke violence so he can declare war. That allows him to defer elections.
This is a code red, all hands on deck call. California cannot do this alone.
Remember that the Supreme Court ruled that the President cannot be charged for actions as President? That is why he ignores laws and orders. If people who oppose the actions of this government do not come together and execute a well designed plan, we lose democracy. We must meet this moment - now.
Most people in the US do not understand the severity of the situation we are in. This is not just a rogue president where we can ride it out and vote for someone else in a few years. This is a well planned takeover that has been shaped for decades. Every action creates opportunity for the next.
I was talking to a friend who is in her latest 70s today. She is not seeing the doctor or doing follow ups because it is too painful for her to go to the doctors office. Telehealth has saved me from canceling appointments when I was too sick to drive.
It appears a collection of leaders and organizations, all at once, decided to obey in advance.
To everyone who caves to this regime, know that you are not protecting yourselves; you are teaching power what it can do.
Youβre muzzling yourself, and the rest of us along with you.
You are complicit.
Individuals are being targeted on hit lists for their opinions.
Private companies are being coerced into monitoring employee social media.
They are weaponizing Charlie Kirk to curtail your free speech rights.
Deeply concerned about those perineal cleansing products. They are primarily used with older adults and people who are ill. That could be a nightmare of an infectious agent in that location and population.
βSeverance" actor Tramell Tillman has won the Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series. He is the first Black man ever to win the award #Emmys
His Momma is a nurse. He knows. π©΅
We have the victims, and we have their stories. We do not need the files. We need to believe the survivors and give them justice. This system of disregarding the voice of the survivor is why reporting of SA continues to be lowβand that is by design.
The Pitt is the only βmedicalβ television show I have watched that made me feel seen as an emergency nurse. While I have never had all of these crises in one shift, I have had all of those crises. I don't work in the ED now, but it brought me right back, intentionally, accurately, and respectfully.
All violence is political violence.
Same. π
Yes, it is a struggle. I always think I might wear them. Also, my weight fluctuates and I end up having three sizes of clothes because I am worried that I will need them. I do a major purge once every few years.
More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.
Agreed. They have intentionally targeted cities that have a history of resistance and populations that have higher numbers of minoritized people. They want us to be scared to protest and resist. I am not afraid. I dissent.
Democracy is worth fighting for, but I would really prefer not to have a civil war if it can be avoided.
I want ICE gone. But at the very least, they need better trainingβthey clearly donβt know what the F theyβre doing.
π¨ A man was killed on the 210 Freeway after running into traffic while fleeing an ICE raid at a Home Depot. This is the second known death in Southern California tied to these raids.
I personally donβt care about the files. They will be redacted and altered if they are released. No doubt they will be changed to reflect well for Trump. We have testimony from the women who were assaulted and harmed. Their word should be enough.
I was thinking this was a good reason to choose ethics. I do harm reduction for my brother because I couldnβt save him. I am glad you chose to become an ethics expert. The learners in my classes (and me) learn a lot from you.
I am so sorry your brother and family experienced this. I fear we are headed towards more abuse, exclusion, and less rights. The presidentβs recent statement that immigrants are made to work in fields is racist and ignorant and evidence of his white and βable-bodiedβ supremacy ideology.
