Miller is in desperate need of psychiatric confinement.

Pressure matters, advocacy matters. Don't let any one convince that it doesn't. 450 CDC employees and several key departments including HIV prevention and STI surveillance and testing departments were reinstated today. Keep speaking up! www.marketscreener.com/news/latest/...

They're cycling around to this. immigrant raids are the new civil rights movement.

BULLSHIT! The federal appellate court did not validate the use of tariffs or rule on the merits of the lawsuit to challenge them. It granted a stay of the lower court ruling while the appeal is heard.

DHS confirmed that ICE and CBP agents will be on site “for security” at the start of the FIFA Club World Cup at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. ICE also reminded non-U.S. citizens to carry proof of legal status while attending the event.

There are now more than 2000 #NoKings events scheduled for all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam and about a dozen foreign countries. RSVPs are skyrocketing, which is particularly worth noting because a lot of people are very understandably dead set against RSVPing. We will not back down.

🤬🤬🤬🤮🤮🤮

From a friend in Torrence, California

Kennedy’s ACIP 2.0 is as expected. Headlined by charlatans that have nothing to lose and will rubber stamp ludicrous policies. I strongly urge my fellow healthcare providers to speak up and be unafraid. We must ensure there is accountability through collective action.

Most clinical trial design's are "locked". This means that all the study protocols and statistical data analysis methods are established before the trial begins. Any changes either invalidate the trial or require the data analysis protocols to be redone to match the updated protocols. Expensive!

The national guard’s deployment in Los Angeles sets the US on a familiar authoritarian pathway. History shows the results. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jun/09/trump-police-state-robert-reich

All 50 seems pretty United to me

Really enjoyed this conversation today.

Really awful news. Some of the best and liveliest lay-friendly writing on El Niño/La Niña, stratosphere-climate links, and many other crucial topics has been produced by the talented folks at climate.gov.

This all comes down to policy choices. Do we want a nation with policies rooted in cruelty and punishment? Or do we want a nation with policies rooted in kindness and compassion? This is the choice before us.

At a minimum, the optics of ICE and CBP patrolling the stadium will be awful. www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/q...

Update on this powerful story: Listen to Julie Ear share what it’s like to say goodbye to her mom—who just self-deported to Mexico. Her mom worked harder than most American citizens. We should be honored to know families like theirs.

This might be the most batshit insane one I've seen yet. LAPD point-blank shoots a woman trying to walk home, no one else around.

NYPD set up new barricades, moving protesters again onto sideline, but then grabbed people who were behind the barricades, several more arrests.

It’s been devastating watching this play out. So many dedicated & passionate people’s careers & livelihoods have been upended (my wife’s incl) for accurately informing the public about impactful, climatological events unfolding across our planet and relaying scientific research to the public.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a seditionist who, thanks to our right-wing courts, never had to face a trial for his role in the Jan 6th insurrection, an event far worse than anything going on in California right now. Tar & feathers for Newsom? Who is he to say that about anyone else?

Sorry Apple News only… paywalls. American alcohol exports have dropped like a stone. Wine exports to Canada are down substantially (a staggering 94% decline). Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, France & Italy imports to Canada are up by double digits. apple.news/AkgllKnuMSxG...

It took THREE WEEKS to get this indictment. I have to ask; how many grand juries did they shop before getting the indictment? www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

"But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society." - Martin Luther King Jr.

This is ‘70s level slumlord shit. And what makes it especially bizarre is that this is a thrivjng neighborhood. www.inquirer.com/news/admiral...

I've created a page with Jail Support and Bail/Immigration Bond Funds. Jail Support helps those who've been arrested. Community bail/immigration bond funds provide money to get people released while awaiting future court dates. I've included links to support for LA protesters. linktr.ee/bondfunds

Look who’s making the streets of Los Angeles safer!

This shit is embarrassing

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! ☎️

If the founders wanted the President to have "inherent authority" they wouldn't have spelled out his actual authority in detail in the U.S. Constitution - or created two other branches of government for that matter.

RFK is going to be responsible for a lot of death and suffering

🚨The high risks of sending active duty Marines into LA, the dangerous politics of all of it, and what is going on with our troops in Iraq that you probably don’t know about. youtu.be/iN8oERfvV4Y?... My weekly national security segment with @connellmcshane.bsky.social on @newsnation.bsky.social

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

Give Drumpf an inch, he’ll take a mile. He has the mainstream media under his tiny thumb, and is stopping any news outlet he dislikes from being able to ask questions he considers “stupid” or “nasty.” He annihilates the boundaries of his power without recourse. Something needs to be done.

Remember your First Amendment freedoms are in your GRASP: G grievance redress R religion A assembly S speech P press I will be joyfully exercising G, A, and S on No Kings day. Hit the GAS! Let's Go.

A legal case questioning the accuracy of the 2024 election is moving forward. The allegations were serious enough for discovery to proceed. The lawsuit could renew debate about the 2024 election, though it won't change the outcome since Congress has certified the results declaring the winner.

It’s not just that Newsom’s office posted this. It’s that whoever made this added a Taylor Swift song. This burn works on sooooo many levels 😂 #RUOK

the news media must assume that at first blush any data or "reasoning" coming out of this federal government is total BS. they shouldn't report it unless it is confirmed by independent sources.

We're expanding reproductive rights. We're erasing medical debt. We're making going to college in-state easier than ever before. We’re investing in shovel-ready sites for new homes and businesses. And we're lifting the burdens Illinoisans face because it's the right thing to do.

Whoever could have predicted this

Leaders from Los Angeles speak out.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

Together with the ACLU of NorCal, we are challenging the reported lack of public access to immigration court in Concord, CA. Any decision to abruptly cut off public access to immigration proceedings would contravene the First Amendment and federal law. 1/2

BREAKING: The federal judge presiding over Mahmoud Khalil’s case ruled that the Trump admin., for now, cannot deport or detain the Columbia University activist based on a determination by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The judge's order will not take effect until Friday. tinyurl.com/3f7kyd7h

Senate Republicans are finalizing a scaled-down plan to force some federal food aid costs to states as a way to pay for Trump’s megabill. They’re concerned red states particularly would be hit with billions of dollars in new costs for SNAP, which helps feed more than 40 million low-income Americans.
