I consider that a badge of honor

"Uncooperative statistician": the term used (typically by a senior clinician) to describe a well-trained and knowledgeable statistician who refuses to conduct flawed or fraudulent research.

When a government points its finger at you — when it decides you are the enemy — the entire machinery of the state lines up behind that accusation. That’s not hyperbole; it’s the lesson of history, written in blood and exile and mass graves.

Excellent reporting on who called the ICE raid on firefighting teams in WA. The question to ask is why bravery firefighters with years of service don’t have a path to citizenship. Firefighters question leaders’ role in Washington immigration raid idahocapitalsun.com/2025/09/01/f...

I try not to doom post much but they just created a state funded right wing paramilitary org with a budget bigger than nearly every national military, and the opposition did basically nothing but give speeches and die in office of old age

I remember standing in church with hundreds of others praying we would not attack Iraq. We did. It cost trillions of dollars and millions of lives and was based on lies and here we are. Again.

Sadly I did not know this for the first 55 years of my life. They do not teach you this. This is absolutely true. And we should honor all of them this Memorial Day and always

Julia Parsons, a U.S. Navy code breaker during World War II who was among the last survivors of a top-secret team of women that unscrambled messages to and from German U-boats, has died at 104.

Liberals are like boats. You're super happy the first day you get to own one, but then you realize owning one is super freaking expensive, and you wish you had spent more time on your life choices.

It is time for Congress to revisit and re-work the War Powers Act. Everything this lawless administration has done, it has done under the authority this act gives it. Our Constitution lays the responsibility for declaring war w/ Congress. It is time for Congress to take that responsibility back.

Every citizen in the USA should be obliged to read or watch The Handmaid's Tale. Now. Oh. Damn it. It's already banned in parts of the USA. When a book becomes alive. Too quick. It seems it's already too late for a rising. But I do hope I am wrong. #TheHandMaidsTale #USA #Facism

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

Tim Harris reposted

The Trump administration ripped Kilmar Abrego Garcia off the street, ignored due process, and illegally deported him to a torture prison in El Salvador. It is un-American, immoral, illegal, and needs to stop.

I live in the state of WA, so I know I’m preaching to the choir, but I have written my reps begging them to find members of the House GOP who love country more than party. If Congress and the courts fail to assert authority as coequal branches of government, we may not have Congress or Courts soon.

Tim Harris reposted

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

Wouldn't it be nice if every news outlet that covered the Bukele Oval Office meeting noted: District court wrote: Abrego Garcia "has never been charged with or convicted of any crime."⤵️ Fourth Circuit: The government presented "NO EVIDENCE" of MS-13 affiliation. Abandoned argument before court. ⤵️

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

@cantwell.senate.gov - please call for an SEC investigation (and if they won’t do one, a Senate hearing)

President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho *cared* that his country was suffering. He eagerly sought intelligent advice and let it change his mind. He was held to account by a vigorous legislature. For us, today, Idiocracy might as well be The West Wing.
