Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Reporter to Leavitt: "I'm struck that the president has not at any point said 'the most important thing is to protect the 1st Amendment rights of peaceful protesters' ... why is he not out saying, 'all peaceful protesters will be protected?'"

I’m hearing rumors that thousands of people are calling the ICE tip line to report little green men and other aliens from outer space. That’s not why ICE set up this number, so you should absolutely NOT call that tip line to report those types of aliens. 👽 I repeat—do NOT call the below number! ☎️

Hello, Bluesky friends, sorry I've been away. I took a cruise, came home with bronchitis, then my husband died, so May was a busy and not good month. Hope to be back more regularly.

First lesson in budgeting? A budget is a political document. DeLauro (D), CT rightly notes that this HHS Budget will kill thousands of Americans. Violates the Constitution. Is antithetical to good public health. RFKJ is a quack destroying America's crown jewels. Did you know NIH has 174 Nobels.

Why do we keep blaming other countries for “stealing” our jobs… when it was greedy American billionaires who sold them overseas for a quick buck? They didn’t get stolen — they got outsourced. Not by China. Not by Mexico. By CEOs who chose profit over people. #LaborRights #CorporateGreed

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

WOW. Kilmar García was deported off a bogus, discredited gang sheet—based on junk intel from a cop later convicted of misconduct. Trump’s still using it to deny him due process. 📌 COPS: He wore Chicago Bulls hat they claimed was “Hispanic gang culture” and meant he was in good standing with MS-13.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning: “Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”

Ugh, I need to buy a replacement op-amp for my electrometer, and this part that used to cost $50.56 is now $105.94 because of Trump's tariffs. It's going to be like that for everything. Even if we don't lose our funding, science has become significantly more expensive.
