All of the laws that target trans people for punishment, demonization, and deny them basic rights can (and will be) applied to the rest of us. Once there's exceptions to rights, we don't have rights anymore, just privileges. And those privileges will exist at the whim of the authoritarian government

MAHA has been in power for two years. They have decimated basic science, gutted food safety surveillance and kicked millions of people off food stamps.
*That* is their ideology, not their polite platitudes about corporate control of the food supply.

Dr. Jeremy Heffner is a highly educated, high-achieving surgeon. AI chatbots fawned over him, told him he was one of the smartest humans ever, and guided him through the looking glass to a surrealistic world. It could happen to anyone. Even you. He joins us.

Apparently ICE arrests are at an all-time high and I'm guessing they've managed that by decentralizing. Focus on a specific urban area, and you get a lot of targeted resistance. Anyway, helpful reminder that ICE are literally everywhere and we should all be watching out for our neighbors.
If you live in an area that has pockets of immigrants, and you think nothing is happening with ICE, you are probably wrong. I've been hearing about things happening EVERYWHERE right now.

New in PN: DHS's abuse of power in Minnesota was even worse than we knew
"When the Department of Justice indicted 15 Minnesotans earlier this summer, it was painfully clear that this was a cobbled-together mess, a transparent attempt to criminalize dissent. But boy, we didn’t know the half of it."

People are going to die because two orange shitheads have feelings about vaccines and don't want to bother asking actual scientists about them:
Trump order aims to cut number of diseases all children should be vaccinated against from 18 to 11
The order reaffirms the dramatic overhaul to the vaccine schedule that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced this year. Those changes have been blocked in court.

I wonder, if you polled people, how much extra they would pay each year to have their city *not* be covered in thick, choking wildfire smoke for days at a time. I wonder if that might give you more insight into "willingness to pay" vis a vis climate change than asking in the abstract.

Reminder: Memphis is still “under full-blown occupation” by ICE. Task force members have reportedly killed at least two people in four days.

We can see this in the ICE flight data. Domestic “round-up” flights are spiking, and some activist flight watchers report the flights are getting fuller.
But deportation and removal flights remain steady. This means the concentration camps are getting packed to the brim. It’s awful to comprehend.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure.
Keep a watch.
