Do you realize these ICE cowards are taking mostly innocent people from schools, churches, and court houses because they do not want to confront the few actual criminals, who may be armed.

Maybe we can save a few more lives pushing actual scientific clinical facts!

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

Bill Owens, executive producer of “60 Minutes”, resigns: “I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it, to make independent decisions based on what was right for ‘60 Minutes’, right for the audience.” We’re falling into fascism. — Deeper and deeper.

What a surprise. More racist South Africans, here in the USA doing racism.

The more you know…💫 Pass. It. On. ✨

It’s Nazi style eugenics all over again.

On this Good Friday, it's important to remember that the gentle Jesus died so racist white people could invoke his name to do some of the most heinous shit imaginable.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

Here’s a piece by NHPR interviewing NH business owners about tariffs, what’s happening now and their insights. You can listen or read this. There is more that they didn’t share. I know one of the interviewees personally. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

As a historian of eugenics, I can tell you that the "taxes" thing is straight up from sterilization eugenics. Not only that, it represents an even more extreme form of early 20thC. eugenics that I study: euthanasia eugenics. They are tax burdens therefore they shouldn't exist. 1/2

He’s a monster. TRUMP IS A MONSTER.

Don’t let them fool you.

The Republican party/cult did this to all of us.

This is where we are in America! Innocent people were snatched and grabbed off the street without any due process of law and sent to an unsafe prison in El Salvador out of the sight of Americans. And now apparently, tfg is open to sending "homegrown" criminals to El Salvador! #Voices4Victory

Thank you Carl! I started out in cancer research in 1984. Never lost that passion. If only they realized what little we are paid, terrible hours, hazardous chemicals, fixing our own lab equipment. They are playing with a fire & drive that they could never ever understand.

History warns us: every major economic crash has led to a world war. Trump’s corruption, debt, and tariffs may be lighting the fuse… hartmannreport.com/p/is-the-sec...

SAVE ACT Question: is there anyone still working in the passport office to process requests?

Hi all, you should realize that when the wealthy, famous, and politicos are out playing golf, there are all kinds of insider trading deals going on. I’ve heard some bragging about making huge sums, while playing 18. No need to wonder why these private “clubs” gather at a private club.

I thought that was him. I guess if retired NHL players are hanging out with the orange clown posse in FL, it's some kind of reciprocation to let him into the team sky boxes. I just want to puke!

BREAKING: Trump has paused tariffs for 90 days. Who could have seen this coming two days ago on Bluesky?

President Trump is using the Abrego Garcia case to establish a truly chilling proposition: that no one can stop him from imprisoning anyone he wants anywhere else in the world never to be seen or heard from again. His dream is to preside over a police state. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/o...

Wow! It make sense, so many “conservatives” I know really never continued to learn about life and the world. They’re stuck with a teenager’s 1970’s brain. Their church/cult tells them who to like, vote for, and leads their sorry lives. Pathetic!

1/ Alger Hiss was a Soviet spy who sat beside FDR at the Yalta Conference. A literal traitor helped shape post-war Europe while secretly working for Stalin. Now, let’s talk about how nothing has changed. #UkrainianView

Correct.

“Vaccination eliminated polio from the United States” Our world in data, compliments of science. Anti-vaxx is murder. Are you listening, RFK Jr? ourworldindata.org/data-insights

I can only imagine the bailout package they are drawing up for themselves. As the saying goes, privatize the profits, and socialize the losses.
