I'm not the most unbending person politically speaking. I understand strange bedfellows and big tents and all of that practical stuff. But you have to have some principles and no principled person can look at Musk and RFK and say "if only we embraced them things would be better." Fuck this guy.

Look at their equipment. This is an occupying army prepared to injure or even kill whoever stands in their way as they kidnap and brutalize our friends and neighbors. They are everything that they pretend to be protecting us from. Thank you to those who stood up to them in Minneapolis today.

Once again I am calling for Democrats to introduce legislation requiring standardized uniforms, visible badge numbers with names, as well as a requirement for ICE and DHS agents to present proof that there is enough danger present to be masked to a judge when they get their warrant.

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

So, a terrorist state with economy as big as that of Italy (no offense, Italy) makes demands about NATO non-enlargement and then proceeds to lose a massive share of its entire air force on home soil and a continent away from the war zone. Russia is a joke. TREAT IT AS SUCH!

I’m not great at a whole lot of things in life, but I’d like to think that people in my life can tell pretty quickly that I am an ally. Also, I kinda hate that I have to say “ally” when really, I’m just a person with a normal amount of empathy & compassion for my fellow earthlings.

It is well documented that Israel is targeting & shooting kids as young as 18 months in the head, and our most prestigious universities are still banning students from commencement for asking that schools … simply not materially support shooting kids in the head www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The agent who handcuffed a congressional aide is William Krejci of Keasbey, New Jersey, DHS Area Commander. His social media is locked down pretty tight but a Yelp account tied to the same email address he used for LinkedIn shows a face and forearm tattoo that matches the video.

To put these top-line budget numbers in context, cuts of this magnitude would effectively mean no new grants in FY2026. The entire extramural budget would go to existing, continuing grants. An abject failure of American ambition. And a betrayal of our global leadership in health science innovation.
