Without going into detail, I'll just say that it is INFURIATING to see up close how doctors (esp the white man variety) not only ignore prior Covid infections, but also don't bother to mask around patients experiencing heart failure 🤬

I know at least two people who’ve had heart attacks & heart failure after they had COVID. But a doctor assured one of them that it didn’t have anything to do with COVID, so they’re none the wiser & not protecting themselves from further infections.

There is literally zero evidence to support the idea that Democrats can’t win if they support trans people, but tons of evidence that they can’t win by not supporting them.
The Democrats fundamentally don’t believe in representative democracy, they believe in aristocracy.

ICE is targeting watchers:
“Documentation can be the difference between an official narrative and an evidence-based public record. Courts in much of the U.S. have recognized a First Amendment right to record police in public while they perform official duties”

Filming ICE is legal but exposes you to digital tracking – here’s how to minimize the risk
Federal agents have pepper-sprayed, tackled and detained people recording their actions. If you post your recordings of agents, you also risk the feds tracking you and those around you.

NEW: Many were confused why Gov. Greg Abbott hired an inexperienced, Christian nationalist election denier as a top advisor on election security. We obtained audio and records that show Nate Schatzline is using the job to attack Muslims - apparently with the governor's support. (Gift link).
Greg Abbott Hired an Election Denier to Protect Texas Elections. He’s Using the Job to Attack Muslims.
Nate Schatzline, a Christian pastor who left his state House seat to work in the governor’s office, told a GOP group he doesn’t use the term “radical Islam” because “all Islam is radical.”

The best possible interpretation is that a company with 190,820 employees and a $4.40 trillion market cap refuses to do basic quality control.
But the more likely answer is that feckless Google executives have enthusiastically embraced corruption-fueled fascism at every possible turn.

The kernel of truth here is that Donald Trump was and still is terrified.
He's occupied DC with 1000s of National Guard for more than a year.
He's shut down Lafayette Square for the past 9 months and counting.
He's building a White House ballroom/bunker with a drone port and "nuclear concrete."
