And, 2nd, Kennedy has set up a grift machine of corruption and greed, making millions from his bogus MAHA health agenda. Even his wife, Cheryl Hines is making a bundle. These people should disgust all of us. Kennedy & Oz were approved by the Republican controlled Senate. Remember that on 11/3.

PMC COVlD Update, Sep 21, 2026 (US) 🔥13th COVlD wave 🔥40 states/territories with outbreaks (see Alt text) 🔥3.8 million estimated weekly infections 🔥Outbreaks in NYC 🔥Extremely high levels on the Big Island of HI Mask up and get boosted. 🧵THREAD (1/4)
The US has at least 34 states and territories with COVlD outbreaks. These include Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Guam, Hawai'i, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and West Virginia. Levels on the Big Island of Hawai’i are particularly high. Note also, the NYC area is seeing outbreaks.

There are likely outbreaks in additional states. The summary statistic of 40 only includes counties with observed data, rather than estimated data. For example, Idaho, Louisiana, Maryland, and Tennessee likely have outbreaks, but monitoring is poor.

The Trump administration is turning a conference room inside FEMA’s headquarters into a space to host immigration hearings starting as early as Tuesday, according to agency officials.

The move, which has raised concerns among FEMA staff, is the latest example of the Trump administration shifting the agency’s resources toward immigration enforcement.

Please do a BREAKING post about the Mayor of Los Angeles, and how much crime has decreased since she took office. LA recently reported historic drops in violent crime, including decreases tied to community safety initiatives like the Office of the @mayor.lacity.gov Summer Night Lights program
Mayor Karen Bass • Jul 3 •
•••
Those long, summer nights can be times of trouble, but by providing positive activities for families and young people and activating our parks at night, Summer Night Lights is proven to increase public safety - and it's a way for people to have a lot of fun, too.

A 27% DROP
in homicides in neighborhoods most impacted by violence, referred to as Gang Reduction and Youth Development (GRYD) zones across the city. This coincided with a 19% citywide drop in homicides, the lowest on record in 60 years for the City of Los Angeles.

It’s not “an oil deal with Venezuela.” It’s Trump kidnapping an autocrat, refusing to hold elections, then leaving the remainder of the regime in place but only if they allow him to pillage their natural resources, which they are doing to remain in power oppressing the people.

Food companies wanted deregulation. Now there are dozens of recalls across the country. Mining companies wanted deregulation. Now the black lung rate is at a 45-year high. Financial companies wanted deregulation. Now financial losses to fraud are the highest on record. Noticing a pattern?

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
