Who in Maryland has the balls to prosecute the ICE officers who abducted Abrego Garcia? Kidnapping in Maryland is defined as “unlawful abduction, confinement, or carrying away of an individual by force or fraud.” legalclarity.org/maryland-kid... The state can step up and prosecute the officers.

If federal officers abduct someone without a warrant, why can kidnapping charges be filed against the officers by the state? Asking for a friend…

@replsimon.bsky.social If you have a direct email address, please DM me and I'll send you a PDF. This letter outlines my understanding of the legal basis of the FDA established by Congress and the illegal attempts (IMO) of the current President to disrupt the agency.

@disappearedtracker.bsky.social a site that tracks the illegal kidnappings of individuals within the USA. Please follow and share.

This has become my favorite set of data. ourworldindata.org/a-history-of... I’m a scientist, and one of the key aspects of science is changing your thinking based on data. The world is getting better. We achieved these gains *in spite* of ourselves, not *because* we intended to make gains.

youtu.be/kZIPy79ueWE?... Kristi Noem propaganda commercial. “America respects those that respect our laws.” I don’t think the CCCP was ever this bad. 😂🤦‍♂️😳

Silencing scientists, altering data, burying results; all things scientific integrity (SI) policies help prevent in federal agencies. We’ve heard concerning news about the Trump administration’s desire to rescind federal agency SI policies. Here’s why such policies are in all our best interests (🧵)

Keep sharing this PLEASE! 🫶🏻💙🇺🇸

I would vote for a presidential candidate that promised to function only as an executive, not try to legislate in coordination with congress, and maintain a balanced budget. You pass the laws, I enforce them and stay on budget.

Chuck Schumer has a book tour starting this week. It would be a damn shame if people showed up to let him know how they feel about his capitulation on the short-term spending bill passed by the Senate Friday afternoon. @schumer.senate.gov

When the integrity of the process is secondary to accomplishing a short term objective, one gets illegal actions like this. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/l...

It’s no surprise that an authoritarian president who thrives in chaos would have a problem with people who believe in accountability & the rule of law. We stand with @normeisen.bsky.social & @crew.bsky.social, & together we’ll keep challenging Trump’s lawlessness in court, & winning!

We have the ability to use our money to affect change. I am no longer using my Costco CitiBank visa due to Citi voluntarily freezing Habitat for Humanity’s account at the *request* of the FBI. I’ve emailed [email protected], the CEO of Costco, requesting they find another bank.

With the Senate D's abdicating their responsibility to protect our democracy, it's time to do the only thing we have left. Stop spending money at companies that support the ongoing coup. CitiBank is on the list for freezing Habitat for Humanity's accounts. How else?

I've taken to posting Thomas Sowell Quotes on another Social Media site. One's the are obviously true of everyone. But since Sowell is a darling of the right and also not a Trump fan. I find it funny to get agreement from those who, in my opinion, obviously fit the description.

Borrowed from another social media site.

A 2015 OECD study estimated that a 1% increase in research and development (R&D) spending contributes 0.61% to 0.74% GDP growth in the long term. bit.ly/3FCXo8A For an extra $0.01T or $10B one could conservatively expect an increase in GDP of $176B. This is not a spend, this is an investment.

A federal judge in NY has blocked any effort by the Trump administration to deport Mahmoud Khalil – whose arrest and imminent deportation Trump celebrated on Turth Social today — until further proceedings play out. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
