Despite promises of cuts from Trump and Elon, the U.S. spent about $220 billion more in the first 100 days than it did last year. We’re spending far more and getting far less. So where is all the money going?

"When investigators in the field confronted a potentially life-threatening contamination that compromised drug sterility, Pohlhaus was the person they would call. He’s the one who helped them gather evidence that could halt dangerous manufacturing or shut down a pipeline of compromised products."

I think a lot about the organizing of queer groups in the 70s and 80s, and how much the idea seemed to be (looking back at it and secondhand), "I don't need you to be perfect, I just need you to show up." Affinity groups, disagreeing often but PRESENT, with common goals but a diversity of tactics.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.” The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

Mahmoud Khalil’s lawyer Ramzi Kassem breaks down the shaky legal grounds the Trump administration is using to prosecute the Palestinian activist, including a rarely used legal provision “enacted primarily to target Eastern European Jewish Holocaust survivors."

So, for those of you not following, the 1952 code that gives the Secretary of State authority to deport anyone deemed a threat to national security, the one they're using against Mahmoud, was written in the heart of the McCarthy era, a way to target "communists" ie Eastern European Jews.
