All you Trump backers who lie about supporting Ukraine…this is what you actually support. These Ukrainians are being killed partly through the policy choices of the Trump administration. The USA could have saved many of these lives but chose not to. www.cnn.com/2026/08/05/e...

This is Monstrous…. These people are really arguing in court that terminally ill people shouldn't be exempt from work requirements. So even if you have been diagnosed with terminal cancer you haver to prove you are too sick to work if you need Medicaid. Dystopian.

Elon Musk is planning to spend at least $100M in the midterms. He's mastered the playbook: drop millions to get industry friendly people elected, they'll push for policies that support your companies, you'll profit. Citizens United let the ultra-wealthy control our elections.

“All told, what the Trump Administration is doing is pushing disabled people out of sight, back into nursing homes, and it's imposing crushing burdens on families who don't want that -- burdens that will likely force many women to leave the workforce and to provide uncompensated care.”

The Trump Administration's freezes of funding for Medicaid home-based services in California and Minnesota are a double-whammy of injustice. A brief thread. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is one of the main reasons for sanctuary cities. If undocumented people are afraid to call police, it’s open season for criminals and everyone is worse off. Republicans want to make you feel less safe in the hope some will turn reactionary and vote for them. It’s also red meat for Fox News.

This paper shows that immigration enforcement can _increase_ crime. Undocumented immigrants already have the lowest crime rate, but tough-on-immigration policy makes immigrants less likely to report crime. So immigration enforcement worsens the problem it was ostensibly meant to solve

Community Engagement and Public Safety: Evidence from Crime Enforcement Targeting Immigrantst By FELIPE GONÇALVES, ELISA JÁCOME, AND EMILY WEISBURST* We study the role of victim reporting in the production of public safety. We examine the Secure Communities program, a crime-reduction policy that involved police in detecting unauthorized immigrants and increased deportation fears in immigrant communities. We find that the policy reduced the likelihood that Hispanic victims report crimes to police and increased offending against Hispanics. The number of reported crimes is unchanged, masking these opposing effects. We show that reduced reporting drives the offending increase and provide the first elasticity of offending to victim reporting in the liter-ature, calculating that a 10 percent decline in reporting increases offending by 7.9 percent.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Inside the Heritage Foundation, Christianist Kevin Roberts is hard at work installing people who believe that the United States was the bad guy in World War II. This is must-read reporting. Free link: www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/m...

Trump's former top food safety official has called the Trump administration's mismanagement of the cyclospora outbreak "catastrophic": "This one deserves a lot of questions, and it is starting to approach a catastrophic level in terms of how mismanaged it’s been on multiple fronts."

When Elon Musk says "zero" children died in Africa from his DOGE cuts, he really means zero children died who are *worthy of any concern.* It's vile coded signaling to his global fascist audience. From me and @polphilpod.bsky.social, a deep dive into Musk's fascism: newrepublic.com/article/2135...

The Real Reason Elon Musk Keeps Insisting DOGE Cuts Killed “Zero” Kids

In his explosive interview with The Economist, the SpaceX billionaire inadvertently revealed something darker about his true vision for the future—and about his affinities with global fascism.

Would assume everyone knows it by now, but just in case "First the traitors, then the invaders" is an explicit reference to The Turner Diaries, where a white supremacist revolution overruns "The System" and kills all their enemy during the evocatively named "Day of the Rope".

X owner Elon Musk indicates he would prioritise political violence (assassination of pro-migration politicians is the common sense meaning) over violence against "invaders" (refugees, asylum seekers, maybe ethnic minorities generally) while endorsing call for violence (killing) against both groups

The explosive diarrhea-causing cyclosporiasis outbreak has now spread to 41 states, with cases surging past 11,500. Last year, RFK ordered the CDC's Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network to stop tracking cyclosporiasis.

This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

I want people to understand the full impact of the devastation that First Nations in Canada are facing. It's NOT just that people and wildlife are losing their homes...it's the history that is being lost for generations to come.
