Organizers in Twin Cities making rare plea for folks to share broadly:
ICE ops have changed & escalated this week. They've moved to a 'flood-the-zone' strategy, nabbing anyone they can from bus stops, the sidewalk, cars, or homes. This means indiscriminate abductions and obviously no warrants.

RFK Jr. has just unilaterally declared that the CDC will stop recommending several vaccines for children.
As best I can tell, the vaccines RFK Jr.
Will no longer recommend are HepB, rotavirus, RSV, COVID19, Hepatitis A, and influenza.

It would also give *Ryan Lizza*—who could, in theory, have leaked this info at any point over the last 12-16 months—a role in both RFK’s appointment and the untold preventable deaths. But Lizza either isn’t self aware enough to realize that or is too busy selling Substack subscriptions to care

They want us to be frightened of one another, thinking there must be an enemy, but the only enemy now is the grags and those poor fools like your brother… They are the victims of the sneaking bastards in the darkness. Marlon Cheerysson — Raising Steam #pratchett

“OK. Ok. Let’s believe he’s a good man. But his second-in-command - is he a good man too? You’d better hope so…And the rest of the court, they’ve got to be good men. Because if just one of them’s a bad man the result is bribery and patronage." Sam Vimes - Men at Arms

When the story of media complicity in the rise of American fascism is written, this tweet by a Politico reporter last July should be duly noted.
In a story by Natalie Allison after the assassination attempt against Trump,  acquaintances of Trump say there’s a “new softness” to him — he’s “existential,” “serene,” “emotional” and “spiritual.”

On the way to Asheville’s Azalea Road dog park there is/was a stand of utility poles with assorted equipment - transformers, switches, etc - ten feet in the air. Clearly someone had been thinking ahead. Except of course they ended up under ten feet of water. Fat tails. They’ll get you every time.
