My god. What the fuck are we doing.

Mass deportation IS family separation. With colleagues @jordancfoster.bsky.social and @profdfhesq.bsky.social www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Rob Sand, Dem candidate running for Governor in Iowa on school choice.

A lawsuit in California with a request for a TRO on NIH terminations to the University of California. Ruling expected early in the upcoming week. #RippleEffect www.courthousenews.com/uc-researche...

If only we had warned folks before the election that the real plan wasn’t border security…it was mass deportation in the interior, federalizing the National Guard, ripping people out of homes, families, jobs, and schools. Oh wait…we did. This segment with the author of 2025 aired one year ago.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Of all the types of response I’ve seen to this round of Trump, it might be the self-identified “moderates” saying “no, I don’t like the optics of swinging chainsaws around, but at least they’re paying attention to government waste” that I’m least interested in hearing from on any subject ever again

That the second Trump admin would see unprecedented transfer of public assets to private hands was as predictable as the sun coming up in the east.

An ICE officer said, "I don't need a warrant." Things are escalating. We may end up striking simply because we all fear going out. Soon, they will get anyone off the streets for "harboring" people. The ones they released didn't get their phones back. Glendale, CA.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

“rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge”

Hey #psych crew! We want to launch a rapid response around the end of the LGBTQ+ 988 resource. Any one in the suicide/LGBTQ+ space interested in helping?

This is an absolute betrayal of promises made by Congress to protect the people who protected American soldiers. A betrayal by people who think American greatness is based on half-assed military parades rather than being a credible ally to those that risked their lives for America.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

ICE is attempting to deport an Atlanta-based Spanish-language reporter from El Salvador who has been covering their immigration abductions. He has legal work authorization and a path to a green card. This is pretty obviously an assault on the free press. www.ajc.com/news/2025/06...

Looking forward to #OHBM2025 in Brisbane next week! My lab is recruiting a postdoc & neuroimaging analyst/developer to support our NIH funded work in fMRI-based Alzheimer's biomarker development (NIA R01AG083919). Email or DM if you want to meet up in Brisbane! www.statmindlab.com/join-us

A Boston University professor of global health has done the math and created a website to visualize and track the effects of the Trump/DOGE dismantling of USAID. "As of June 15, the death toll for adults and children from aid funding cuts topped 340,000 and came out to 103 deaths per hour."

Last week, CDC employees walked out. Infectious disease doc Anna Yousaf calls RFK Jr. a “domestic health threat” for dismantling programs on lead poisoning prevention to infant health monitoring. Federal scientists are sounding the alarm - and we're listening. zurl.co/AZk2s #StandUpForScience

I wish some of the folks with terminated grants- especially Harvard, Columbia folks - would post the summary statements from NIH study sections about their grants. The public should know what independent scientists thought about the projects that are being terminated. #PublicHealth #EpiSky #EndAlz

Tulane scientist resigns, citing ‘gag order’ on environmental justice research “After being affiliated with Tulane for 25 years... I cannot remain silent as this university sacrifices academic integrity for political appeasement and pet projects...” #AcademicSky lailluminator.com/2025/06/13/t...

Thousands marching in Fort Collins! #NoKings. Thank you @indivisiblenoco.com, @dsafortcollins.bsky.social, @aaup.bsky.social and all affiliated organizations for standing up for Justice, Tranquility, Welfare and Liberty.
