Hegseth’s staff broke Eisenhower’s globe. The symbolism is too much to bear. (And of course, they ignored the TRAINED EXPERTS WHO HANDLE HISTORICAL ITEMS. Because EDUCATION? EXPERTISE? WHO NEEDS IT?….im going to get some coffee…)
"Ordinarily, moving historical items within the building is a deliberate process overseen by curators. Hegseth’s staff dispatched its own team to relocate an Eisenhower globe. They dropped it...The resulting gash appears to be several inches wide." wapo.st/3WF2YQo

The threat of streaming the execution accomplished its purpose. The fact that they were *willing* to do it was a performance of brutality meant to impress and scare us. But…it made people angry. Intensified opposition. Their threats are motivating people to fight harder.
BREAKING: Trump says the execution of Nadal Hasan will NOT be live-streamed.
In light of the upcoming No Kings protest, here is a brilliant video by Joanne Freeman on why protests matter. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmaZ...

Since the start of the Trump Administration more than 500 innocent U.S. citizens have been illegally detained by Trump’s ICE agents. They’ve been treated like criminals and had their constitutional rights violated. ICE is completely out of control. projects.propublica.org/american-cit...

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.

RFK Jr is funding a grotesquely unethical study on newborn babies in Guinea-Bissau; ethicists, pediatricians, clinical trial experts, & infectious disease experts are calling this horrific trial The New Tuskegee. It is unethical to withhold a life saving intervention from half of newborns FFS.
The CDC just re-opened a previously shelved study that would withhold the hepatitis B vaccine from children in Guinea-Bissau, despite decades of evidence showing it is safe and effective. This is a violation of human rights, using “science” to harm some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

Of course, the vile Trump regime sides with bigoted parents over vulnerable kids.
The Department of Education on Monday officially rescinded the Biden-era Title IX rule, which extended protections to LGBTQ students. The move, Education Secretary Linda McMahon said, will give parents “greater comfort” www.the74million.org/article/educ...
