The US government is violently kidnapping and disappearing people and denying due process. The US government is also supporting and participating in starving children in Gaza. #kidnapping#genocide
When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
Republicans politicize crime against white women to promote their own racist agenda.
Not the first time that's happened in this country.
Never forget Emmett Till who was viciously lynched by vigilantes in 1955.
It's happening again.
Better question: How come the death of one Laken Riley makes Republicons feel justified in rounding up all migrant workers & immigrants and sending them to concentration camps...
But the deaths of hundreds of children in school shootings doesn't result in any congressional action by Rcons at all?
So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?
LENOIR CITY, TN — pregnant fiancée of an American lost her baby in ICE detention after they denied her prenatal care after pleading for help for days. (@ltgovmcnally & @lowellrussell21’s district)
Unimaginable cruelty. @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty

1/4 Trump’s Assault on Science & Academia Is a National Crisis
The Trump regime slashed federal research funding in a sweeping ideological purge, gutting the NIH, canceling almost 2500 lifesaving projects, and punishing universities. This is sabotage.

With this awful terror attack in Colorado, Congress needs to ask how many federal resources have been pulled from counterterrorism to deport Hispanics?
How bad will it be? Catastrophic.
Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come.
But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget.
Speak up now before it is too late.
(inflation adjusted $-s below)
There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
Nice work America☹️https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/world/asia/us-science-cuts.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&sgrp=g&pvid=FB3639DB-653F-49EB-A4CC-3C8D1C009D5D
Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.
"Well, we are all going to die." --Senator Joni Ernst
That has to be the glibbest way any politician has ever told a constituent that they didn’t give a shit about them.
The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.
"7 of the cited sources don’t appear to exist at all."
NOTUS: Epidemiologist Katherine Keyes is listed in the MAHA report as author of a study on anxiety in adolescents (and) was surprised to hear of the citation.
“The paper cited isn't a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with."
Seven of the sources cited in MAHA commission's report do not exist:
“The paper cited is not a real paper that I or my colleagues were involved with," says one researcher.

Electricians and plumbers were precisely the people her boss routinely refused to pay back when he was a shady, failed real estate guy. And f--k her for her her gratuitous homophobia.
MAGA folks claiming that the numerous lawsuits against the Trump admin are proof that he/they are persecuted vs that he/they are shady and way over-reaching their authority is so on brand.
‘They say, We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning.’ —Archibald MacLeish
Remembering the fallen this Memorial Day, we can consider our own duty to strive so that our lives and our country are worthy of the price they paid.
America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.
CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
I guess some Americans need a white man to tell them how to eat healthy. I remember when that was decried as socialism and overreach.Good for you for deciding that eating healthier is a fine idea now, but I see you.I see who is taking meals for children out of schools,funding away from food banks…
In addition to gutting Medicaid and SNAP, the House Reconciliation bill takes aim at the clean energy boom 🔋🌱
Slashing clean energy tax credits = slashing jobs in your own district 💼⚡️
Let’s see how that plays out 👀
You are never just voting for one person for president, you are voting for an entire team. Do you want a smart, decent team or a stupid, greedy, corrupt team?
Seems like it is necessary to state something on which we all should easily agree. I am against killing people and the things that make that killing easier- unregulated guns, starvation, prejudice, bigotry, weapons of mass destruction, poverty, dehumanizing others …add your own in comments
Data driven science should be centered in every conversation about safety and fairness in sports, not bias. The most valuable thing about participating in sports will never be the trophies and medals. Teamwork, belonging, discipline, appreciation of small improvements…that’s where the real value is!
Trump to UAE president: "We have a term 'groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food, it's a pretty accurate term but it's an old fashioned sound but groceries are down."
Instead of making drug busts and taking illegal guns off the streets, Donald Trump wants FBI agents to… go into communities and take away immigrants who are just trying to work and take care of their families. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/u...
AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces — and, in many cases, their identification… The idea that we’re going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isn’t accountable to the Constitution… we’ve got another thing coming.
Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."
Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.
Ethical violation as POLICY.
The easier it is for you to rationalize inhumane treatment of others, regardless of whether our society deems them good or bad, the greater the loss of your own humanity and “goodness”.
