@npr.org STOP using the words “law enforcement” referring to lawless, criminal, and #fascist federal agents! Your wording is complicit with Trump Brownshirts @timothysnyder.bsky.social “people wearing masks who trespass, assault, batter, and kill are not enforcing the law. They are violating it.”

Deporting children with cancer. Using a 5-year-old as bait. Shooting moms. ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

After illegally abducting Maduro, Trump has just sold $250M of Venezuela's oil to Vitol. John Addison, a senior trader at Vitol who helped broker the deal, gave $6M to Trump's 2024 campaign. Pay-to-play imperialism.

Just published in @amjpublichealth.bsky.social: a collective analysis of the power ecosystem that jeopardizes public health and produces inequity, titled “Why Building Power is Key to Protecting Academic Public Health and Advancing Health Equity”
We are angered and disheartened by the lack of progress our fields have made over the last 20 years and dismayed by the dismantling of health equity efforts happening in real time. In response, we are determined to reimagine academic public health and drive social change. We believe public health scholars need to share and build power with communities facing inequities now more than ever.

Trump dismisses civil rights, fair housing cases in Chicago to focus on ‘real concerns’
HUD will stop monitoring a civil rights agreement over the General Iron matter and dropped a case alleging City Council members blocked affordable housing using "aldermanic prerogative" veto power.
