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.

Nina Metz writes that “Surviving Ohio State” is upsetting and devastating, but also deeply sad because the film presents claims that those in positions of power looked the other way or tried to bury concerns when they were raised.

Trump demonizes ordinary immigrants as MS-13 gang members - in reality he is funding the guy who is protecting MS-13 leaders

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

It is a disgrace that the Department of Defense continues to post partisan political messages on social media and a disgrace that the DHS Secretary is making political statements about elections from the Oval Office. They piss on this country’s traditions daily. bsky.app/profile/atru...

A colleague, a friend and a brilliant scientist. The US lost a trusted vaccine expert to an anti-science purge at #ACIP Americans should be outraged.

Periodic reminder that every day is STFU Friday Also, sharing the location of cops in the public performance of their jobs is ironclad First Amendment-protected expression If you're concerned something you've said has you on the Government's radar, call your lawyer instead of posting through it

When people asked early in the administration how we could lose access to vaccines -pediatricians were most worried about the dissolution of the ACIP. This is very, very bad news. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

Absolutely grotesque abuse of government power. Lying to educators in order to entrap children. No wonder they want to hide their identity.

This is a pretty important point!

Firearm Laws and Pediatric Mortality in the US. Our national @JAMAPediatrics study is live. Findings (2011-2023): •7,400 more deaths in most permissive and permissive firearm law states. •No increase in the stricter law states. •Decreases in 4 strict law states. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Make Polio Great Again! What the fuck are we doing!?!?! apnews.com/article/kenn...

It was never a lie. It was always the truth.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??

It's the Washington Monument in the background that really takes this to next-level dystopian

With the $45 million being spent on the president's parade here’s what that money could do for veterans instead: House 3k veterans for an entire year in transitional housing Provide full PTSD treatment for 3.75k veterans for a year Deliver job training to 9k veterans through 12-week programs

Ahem.

The US record on protecting Afghans who helped our military in that war has been pretty weak to begin with, but now we are deporting them to a very credible risk of death. Why would any other allies on the ground work with the US military in the future?

This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.

And one way to reduce such exposure ..... #CRBox w/ Clean Air Delivery rates greater than nearly all commercial HEPA air cleaners (both at high flow) for wildfire particles @ 1/3rd to 1/7th the initial cost and generally lower filter replacement cost. IT;s not rocket science, folks, and it works!

Imagine that. www.npr.org/2025/06/02/n...

Extremely bad news is right. And I worry the same forces are coming for federal health care data.

Basically, Biden did what he promised, which was increase the audit rate on the rich, which is where the most consequential tax evasion occurs. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/05/u...

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

The Trump team thinks Confederate traitors who killed Americans are worth honoring. But Americans who fought at Normandy in D-Day like Medgar Evers, or served in the Navy like Harvey Milk and Cesar Chavez, or worked as a spy for the US Army like Harriet Tubman, well, they are NOT worth honoring.

PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions. 0 were on the gang member list. 130 had no criminal history. 32 had minor offenses. All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...
