As an American, let me say: do not come here. Don’t come here for school, don’t come here for work, if you have engagements scheduled, see if you can do them virtually. They can and will take anyone they feel like and throw them into a possibly inescapable prison. Protect yourselves, don’t come.

Citizens cannot, by legal definition, be "deported." What she's describing is kidnapping and forced imprisonment without cause. She and many, many others in this administration should face prison one day. bsky.app/profile/ones...

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Guy worth $340B spending $25M in WI is like the median American worker who makes $39,982/year spending $2.94. Meaning—a $5 cup of coffee has a greater financial impact on a working American than $25M did on a maniac billionaire. This is how democracies collapse. TAX BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE.

SCOOP: DOGE notified the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences (IMLS) today that the entire staff is being put on administrative leave effective immediately, I’ve learned from an agency source. They’ll be cancelling huge swaths of grants/contracts and starting a Reduction in Force (RIF).

Free masks for all should be included in state budgets, not mask bans. Shame on New York Governor Kathy Hochul for pushing the latter, which will make us all more vulnerable to multiple health threats including airborne viruses and climate change.

This is a very important point. Breathlessly vague headlines and summaries of these executive orders created for the executive powers it does not have. This kind of press contributed to authoritarian regime change.

Hi, so this is also eugenics. Everything Musk and Trump and RFK Jr are doing is eugenics. It is designed to kill the elderly, children, disabled folks, folks in poverty, and sicken and weaken everyone else. Please understand that suffering and death is the point.

A capricious ruler, who is willing to use government power against anyone who displeases him, is the definition of a dictator. According to his own cabinet members, our criminal president is a dictator.

Republicans' shameful bill would make people in my district hungrier, poorer, and sicker. And it would embolden Musk and Trump to continue gutting essential services, ransacking federal agencies, and attacking our democracy. I voted NO. My full statement.

Hero... Drawing far more attention than holding up a tiny sign. He also makes the point that Trump uses his incivility against the Dems civility. What's it going to take for the Dems to fight back and speak up. Narcissists like Trump hate being called out in public!! youtu.be/2e9bS6VnNpw?...

Very unwelcome news! H5N1 genotype D1.1 6 identified in 6 Nevada dairy herds. This is NOT the strain that's been circulating on farms so far. It's the strain that sent a 13yo girl in Canada to ICU, and that killed a man in Louisiana. Very bad time for a public health comms blackout.
