The deployment of National Guard troops into cities has been so normalized that it barely merits a mention in the press or among the public anymore. D.C. remains occupied, Memphis is occupied, so is New Orleans... It's incredible to me.

I read that Ossoff told some young people that 'despair is a luxury' and that some people are mad. I think that it's incorrect to say that it is a 'luxury' but I'm with Audre Lorde who said that it is in fact a 'tool of your enemies.'

It’s simply unimaginable that CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz has just bowed to RFK Jr. and approved funding for an utterly unethical clinical trial that will withhold the birth dose of HepB vaccine in Guinea Bissau. It is to be conducted by researchers accused of academic misconduct.

“It’s a wholly unethical trial, and it shouldn’t be allowed,” says Dr. Paul Offit of Guinea-Bissau study

The President of the United States, in front of a crowd of his supporters, during a televised rally, admits to a Quid Pro Quo pardon, which is a felony and impeachable offence. And absolutely nothing will happen, because his party, which controls congress, are fascist collaborators and sycophants.

As a rape survivor, all I can say is holy fuck, I hate that she experienced this & I hope she has people who will help her heal to the fullest extent. I hope those who did this to her have the lives they deserve, and know that Dolly, Jimmy Carter, and Mr. Rogers would be disappointed in them.

This is pretzel logic only Trump’s team could come up with. We’ve got war with a lower approval rate than prostate cancer and recent credible stories about how we completely failed our injured warriors? What if we re-ignited it BEFORE people vote? Brilliant. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

I am still so angry about this. So many Black women who were-and still are-beyond qualified for the positions they held…laid off and kept out of the workforce due to misogynoir & this country’s vehement racism, sexism, and xenophobia. This country world rather fail than let Black women succeed.

It is already hard enough to be an international student in the US now, for a whole host of reasons, including the visa bans, the US-Canada trade war, and FX rates. Students are already applying for summer internships. But this proposal is cruel and horrifying by design.

I have already said a lot about this proposal, but I am especially sad for current international students, many in multi-year programs, who will have professional opportunities rescinded, or made entirely out of reach, as a result.

Cost to the US for blockading Iran and trying to escort tankers through Hormuz (ballpark est.): An aircraft carrier takes around $7m/day to operate. The Navy has two operating there, plus about 20 more ships. So we're spending over $100m/week, plus munitions costs, for lower shipping than pre-war.

Now with alt text -- people with screen readers shouldn't be left out of laughing at Mike Rogers!
Tweet from Mike Rogers, the old Republican politico running for Michigan's open U.S. Senate seat against Dr. Abdul El-Sayed:

"Prices are too high and Canada is not our enemy. We need to end the tariff war — now. In the Senate, I'll bring both parties together to lower costs and put Michigan families first."

Attached image looks like a still from a campaign ad - he's sitting in a working class bar, wearing a checked button shirt and a dark gray or green jacket, talking to the camera.

a sudden upward jump in wholesale gas prices yesterday and again in the Great Lakes coupled with rapid decreases in gas prices in Ohio means there could be a price cycle in OH and IN soon. MI still has room to drop. IL and WI are 50/50.

today, the fuel clock for diesel hit $50 billion- businesses and consumers have since March spent $50 billion more on diesel compared to the same time last year. adding gasoline's $78.46 billion, the tally is $128.6 billion more spent on fuel vs a year ago.
