ICE targeting elementary school children is child abuse, period.

No one is coming to save us. Don’t wait until it’s too late.

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis. The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall. 1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

When is it safe to start planting outdoors? This video shows how to use our NOAA map to find the average date for the last freezing temperatures of the season at your location, based on U.S. climate normals data from 1991-2020. Read more: www.climate.gov/spring-freeze

Time to give Palantir the Tesla and Target treatment. Make it shameful to work there. Organize rallies at their offices.

Florida: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez (20) is being held in the Leon County Jail, charged with illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien." Lopez-Gomez is a U.S. Citizen, born in the USA. He showed his U.S. birth certificate in court. The judge held him in jail anyway. This is Fascism.

At this rate, the trade war with China will make us all peasants

The plan for NIH is in, source with full 64 page proposal for all of HHS is linked. Reported in WaPo. This is catastrophic. Reduction to 8 centers. 40% cut in budget. 15% IDC cap. This will decimate science across America open.substack.com/pub/insideme...

"Krebs said he understood why some have kept a low profile and tried not to further anger the president. But he said he disagreed with that approach. 'I don’t think this lay-low-and-hope-this-blows-over approach is the right one for the moment we’re in,' he said..." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

I’m not.

A Chicago Bulls hoodie makes Kilmar Garcia a gang member the same way a shiny gold cross makes Karoline Leavitt a Christian.

38 of the 43. "38 of 43 experts cut last month from boards that review science and research in NIH laboratories are female, Black or Hispanic. "The scientists typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

More love between the Russian and South African oligarchs who dominate Trumpworld.

Here’s the clip of Senator Murkowski saying she’s afraid. She’s not the only one. If she and her colleagues came together to impeach, convict, investigate, and uphold their oath to the Constitution, they could end this corruption. No one else is coming to save us. substack.com/@timmiller15...

330,000 Rhode Islanders rely on Medicaid. These RIers are parents or grandparents in nursing homes; loved ones recovering from addiction or dealing with mental health issues; new parents in your neighborhood. When Republicans weigh cuts, look around. It’s cruel and stupid.

You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

#GVerse #Attention via @calltoactivism.bsky.social: After another tragic shooting took the lives of at least 5 innocent people in Florida, remember the shooter didn't act alone. He was assisted by 225 House members, 53 Senators, 6 Supreme Court Justices, and the NRA.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism. 1. It’s not a disease 2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

As a horrific mass shooting unfolds at FSU, a reminder that Florida: Does not require background checks or training Does not regulate assault weapons Does not limit magazine capacity Became a permitless carry state in 2023

Republicans defunded schools last night to pump money into ritzy private schools. That needs to be banned. I say let’s invest more than ever to make our schools the best in the world by the end of the decade instead!

🚨 Corporate interests are protected at the cost of America lives. 📌The FDA withholds the names of growers and processors linked to outbreaks, denying consumers critical information needed to make safe choices. Democracy is gone—Rise up, speak up, it’s time to act! www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

You can be scared! You can be afraid! But you as well as the rest of the Russian Republicans are the ones who created this mess and you are the ones who are responsible to stop it! l.smartnews.com/p-ko21ro4/y2...

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

REPEAT: JUAN LOPEZ GOMEZ, AN AMERICAN CITIZEN, IS BEHIND BARS FOR NOT HAVING HIS PAPERS. AND A JUDGE SAYS SHE CAN'T FREE HIM.

Now reading. It’s excellent. #booksky

My adult daughter Rachel works everyday, pays taxes, loves going to movies with her friends, and listens to awful (IMO) music. Our U.S. Dept HHS has lost all of its humanity, compassion, and intellectual curiosity

The international animal rescue that I work for has been told today that if we enter the US again we will be arrested. The rescue I work for is based out of the UK. I have worked animal rescue in the US for 10 years. We are told if we are found to be in the US we will be arrested. Cool, bring it.
