TMZ says this 24-year-old is Trump's new press secretary. She reposted the story on Facebook, so I guess that's confirming it? This is a photo she posed for previously. Trump's malevolence and corruption are clearly more important. But the coarsening of the presidency makes me sick.

We already know that every single Republican supports rape and rapists. They have made that perfectly clear over the last decades with both their money and their votes. Deplorable was too generous a word for them.

The video shows the agents literally just leaving the guy in the street and driving off.

BREAKING: Evanston police confirm a U.S. citizen was briefly detained by federal agents Sunday morning near Howard and Dodge before being released The man was taken to the hospital for injuries to his head, neck and teeth after agents drove off

Clearly many academics are not familiar with the sociological theory or Symbolic Interaction and/or The Thomas Theorem. Maybe I am just lucky my PhD advisor trained at Chicago, and his thesis advisor was Herbert Blumer.

LIKE TRUMP/MILLER, ALL ICE AGENTS ARE LOSERS! Many are scared racists, White Nationalist ”Patriot Front, KKK, Proud Boys, Boogaloo Boys, Neo-NAZIS; too full of Trump’s fear/hate/lies to know that THEY’re the true criminals, NOT the innocent families they destroy. Some are just soulless opportunists.

The two ICE agents who murdered a civilian in Biddeford, Maine today. Let's make them famous.

Disaster researchers - My wife (Brenda Phillips) just published her second edition of Qualitative Disaster Research by Oxford University Press. Congrats!

Trump's attitude towards Medicaid fraud is demonstrated by the 77 persons he pardoned who were convicted of Medicaid fraud. They're all Republicans, Trump supporters, who made payments to him and his campaign. In most cases he also eliminated their duty to make restitution for the money they stole.

My last job before retiring in 2019 was Professor of Political Science at OK State. I was Oklahoma political scientist of the year in 2006. My PhD is in Sociology, with a specialty in organizations and disaster behavior. I can no longer keep up with all of trump’s bullshit and lies.

Remember when some of us said the Patriot Act and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security were *really bad ideas*? Well, this is what we were warning about.

Moms For Liberty named RJ May the South Carolina Legislator of the Year for 2023 for his efforts to protect children from the evils of the LGBTQ community. He was just sentenced to 17.5 years in federal prison followed by 30 years of supervised probation for distributing child pornography.

Are your MAGA neighbors or family members heartless? Ask them what they think of ICE physically assaulting children. Ask what they think about 2 month old being denied medical care in #ICE detention until they are at death's door(see 🧵⬇️ for video). It's vital to tell them so they know about it.

I am advocating that all Ohio State alum stop wearing Ohio State attire/gear until Wexner’s name is removed from the university. This would be the first of many steps related to the Epstein pedophilia/sex trafficking scandal.

I wonder if more MAGA than non MAGA women changed their name after marriage. I wonder if more non MAGA women who did change their name for marriage know how to manage the system to register to vote than MAGA women?

Could ICE be arrested for littering for not picking up their tear gas containers they have thrown at civilians? I would think so. Trying to channel Saul Alinsky.

Was Epstein an asset of the Russian intelligence services? The new disclosures eliminate any doubt. They demonstrate that he was critical for Russian recruitment operations in the US and many other countries. But the Russian intelligence services were hardly the only intel operations he served.
