Of all the harm this administration has done to US science, today's proposed changes to the way federal grants are awarded and administered is the most damaging yet. The text of the federal register document is impenetrably tedious by design, so here's an excellent summary of what it says.

An ICE agent shot and killed 23-year-old U.S. citizen Ruben Ray Martinez in Texas almost an entire year ago and hid the shooting from the public. It’s only now coming to light, 11 months later, due to Freedom of Information Act requests. What else is the regime hiding from us?

Thank you to everyone who came to our event this evening. Please contact us if you have suggestions, criticisms or want to be involved more with what we do. Our focus is determined by who shows up, but we're making this up as we go along so we're happy to shift direction or work on different things

Please listen. The criminality of Israel and the abject shame of US, Britain & other genocide apologists at UNSC. "So which one is it - are Palestinians lives not worth saving, or does Israel have a license to kill?" #NEVERFORGET #NEVERFORGIVE Gaza

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. See the problem here?

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

The people demand justice for Silverio, for Alex, for Renee, for Keith, and for every single person who has died at the hands of DHS. It's time to pass my Melt ICE Act, abolish ICE, and dismantle DHS!

We still don't know the names of the ICE agents who killed Gonzàlez behind the wheel of his car outside Chicago in September. They were unmasked in this BWC footage from Franklin Park police. If you have any information at all about these men—please text us on Signal at unraveled.66

It's really distressing the extent to which in all of this Silverio Villegas González, the first man to be murdered by ICE in the streets, has been almost completely forgotten Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Monica Trujillo reposted

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda. 1. Vote no on DHS funding bill. 2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE. 3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents. 4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

I joined the thousands of Americans marching in solidarity with the people of Minneapolis, demanding accountability, and an end to ICE. For Silverio, for Alex, for Renee, and for every single person who has died at the hands of DHS, it's time to pass my Melt ICE Act and abolish ICE.

I want to extend a huge thank you to our city's emergency responders and municipal workers who showed up in today’s storm to keep our city safe and running. These are the incredible New Yorkers who inspire me everyday.

"Videos analyzed by The New York Times appear to contradict the accounts of federal officials, who said Mr. Pretti approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and the intent to 'massacre' them. Video footage shows Mr. Pretti stepping between a woman and an agent who is pepper spraying her. ...

If the government executing us in the streets isn’t your red line, then you’ve already decided to endorse it. There’s no gray area left. No ambiguity.

Alex Pretti was an intensive care nurse in the Veterans Administration Health Care system. “He felt that doing the protesting was a way to express his care for others,” his dad said. #AbolishICE #ICEOutOfMinnesota #ProtectNurses #HoldHisKillersAccountable

Monica Trujillo reposted

This is Alex Pretti. This morning he was murdered by ICE. Six ICE agents held him down and shot him at point blank range. Alex was a nurse and researcher at the VA. Our thoughts are with his loved ones and we stand united in action calling for the abolishment of ICE. #ScientistsAgainstICE

No words can convey the horror of seeing another life snuffed out on the street by out-of-control ICE agents. I knew, moving to the 🇺🇸, about the gun violence problem. But govt-sanctioned extrajudicial killings are not at all what I expected. How many more murders before the public says : Enough ?

Monica Trujillo reposted

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth: “ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king. This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

Monica Trujillo reposted

I am calling for the arrest and prosecution of the ICE agent that shot and killed Renee Good. I am also calling on Congress to support my bill with @jasmineforus.bsky.social to force ICE agents to wear body cameras, not wear masks, have visible identification & ensure ICE has independent oversight.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Monica Trujillo reposted

AOC excoriated Vance here. Let’s see how the American public responds to Vance's “we believe young mothers should be shot in the street” political slogan. After this week, that line will forever and always be JD's rallying cry.
