I think Republicans really need to understand that if people are denied relief through the legal system, they will find other ways to seek justice, and historically those ways end up being quite violent

Mr. Furley heard you might have Iranian house plants.

Folks, CBO estimate of the distributional effect of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is out: www.cbo.gov/system/files... It's grotesque

Dear @slotkin.senate.gov There's a critical vote today and there is NO WAY to contact you directly. I've never been able to reach you or your staff to express my concern about the crypto bill. As a constituent and an expert in financial market regulation, I am greatly disappointed

Admitting “perfect storm of errors,” DHS has changed its story in the case of Jordin Melgar-Salmeron, the 31yo Salvadoran who, on 5/7, was deported to El Salvador 28 minutes after the US 2d Circuit Court of Appeals forbade his removal pending appeal. ... /1 www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Declining birth rates are likely driven by "pregnancy avoidance" decisions - people repeatedly deciding that it's not a good time to get pregnant *right now* rather than deciding not to have any (more) children at all, as my colleagues and I show in a new paper. 1/ doi.org/10.1007/s111...

Dear USA Deploying troops against civilians will not go well. Yours Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Let's be totally clear: "immigration" as a concept is bullshit. It isn't more than 100 or so years old. Human beings have been moving around this planet however they wanted to for millenia before a small handful of folks decided that wasn't OK for some reason.

Night, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves.

Seeing some reactions to this calling it a strongly worded letter. While true in a literal sense that this is a letter, it’s unprecedented—and an escalation of a growing trend of unrest inside NIH. This took bravery. Each of the signers put their career on the line. We should acknowledge that.

The most terrifying line in America is not, as we were always told, “We’re from the government and we’re here to help.” It is, “We’re from the militia and we’re here for your boy.”

This is not a good sign.

It’s really amazing how the modern right has two goals: 1. Minimal obligations to society but that society must defend them from blacks, immigrant, and trans people (and also free highways) 2. Legally fucking a teenager. Like, that’s it. That is literally all they want out of politics.

Gavin Newsom went on TV, called Tom Homan a bitch, and said he if he wanted arrest him he knew where to find him. Maxine Waters told an ICE agent to his if they planned to shoot her they should at least shoot straight. I really don't know what you want from them right now.
