Yet another measles outbreak. There are outbreaks across the country. If you were born after 1957 and do not have documentation of two measles vaccine doses, talk to your healthcare provider about a lab test to check for measles immunity. More detailed guidance here👉 www.cdc.gov/measles/down...

They didn’t just burn Black towns. They overthrew Black power. Wilmington, 1898: The only successful U.S. coup. Black officials killed. Prosperity erased. 📕 Erased exposes the truth they buried to protect white supremacy. Read it before they ban it again: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

Here is a list of town halls taking place next week that you should show up at. I am sorry, I mean Chuck Schumer’s book parties. If there are any missing, please add in the replies. The only thing he should be doing today is cleaning out his office.

Arlington Cemetery removed them from their maps of gravesites. This is to disrespectful of our heroes that fought for our freedom.

The Defense Dept has deleted references to Black, Hispanic & female service members as well as topics such as the Civil War from its website in order to remove all references to diversity, equity, & inclusion. Sgt William H. Carney, a former slave, is the first black man to get the Medal of Honor.

Just heard that Trump is putting an end to atmospheric monitoring site NY67 that is run out of my lab. This is one of the oldest NADP sites in the US, continually measuring acid rain and other pollutants since 1977. Closing it down is tragic.

Glad this is still getting attention because it was a genuinely insane move in a wide variety of ways, including that had these guys gotten their way it may have actually breached levees and led to floods across California farmland.

There’s been zero explanation for this given but it seems exceedingly likely it’s pure retaliation for the Maine governor challenging Trump. Really sick. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/06/s...

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Max Kennerly@maxkennerly.bsky.social

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...
