📢BREAKING: Just left the courthouse for our NIH grant termination case Judge ruled terminations are “VOID & ILLEGAL” As a plaintiff, I felt a wave of relief & hope; he acknowledged the discrimination & harm Closed by asking, ‘Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame?’

Definitely think ranked voting and removal of the electoral college should be done to reform presidential elections alongside campaign finance reform and one month campaigning rule (similar to Canada).

WTF?!?!

California lawmakers introduce legislation to ban law enforcement from wearing face coverings abcnews.go.com/US/californi...

What levels of degradation have we fallen to. The US has never been perfect but I don’t know that we’ve ever elected someone so amoral and who’s convened such a cabinet of idiots.

ICE agents are out here manhandling elected officials—yet again. They arrested NYC Comptroller Brad Lander for asking if they had a warrant—which is his constitutional right. (1/2)

If you know anyone who is in the California National Guard or 2/7 Marines who are deployed to Los Angeles, @taskandpurpose.com would like to hear from them. What the last week has been like, what their conditions are, if they're getting BAH, etc. They can reach me on signal @ nslayton.12

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

democratic leaders are operating like the mike lee thing is just a slip up by one guy instead of how the entire movement thinks. im tired of it. this is who they are. theyve been like this for decades. whether its goldwater opposing civil rights, reagan attacking welfare recipients or wmds

For starters!!!

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says.

This is taking it to a whole new level of un-American, fascist, unconstitutional and illegal behavior.

Trump is now directing ICE to focus on Democratic-led cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York:

That a bunch of Christian Zionists feel completely empowered to call me, a Jew, a Jew-hating antisemite and a fake Jew because I think genocide against Palestine and warmongering against Iran are bad does not make me think they actually care about antisemitism

When my Jewish friend is accused of being a self hating Jew and a fake Jew simply because she opposes the genocide in Gaza and speaks out against warmongering toward Iran, it becomes painfully clear that these accusations have nothing to do with protecting Jews or fighting hatred. They are about

I think the "double empathy problem" (where there's a mutual misunderstanding between autistic and nonautistic people when it comes to understanding each other's experiences) misses a whole subset of autistic people...

Patriot Front crashed Springfield, MO Pride festival. Driving a Penske truck. U-Haul banned Patriot Front from renting their vehicles. It’s time for people to tell Penske to do the same.

abolish private for profit prison companies‼️ $120,000 (of our tax dollars) per detainee - no bond is possible & they have to work for a single $1.00 a day then 47💩 gets a kickback

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

I doubt anyone will see me post, but this needs to be known... if you have a visible following please repost 💙🔥💙 Admitting he wants "his people... aka US " to behave like north Korea for Kim Jong Un.🤬

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

Brian Gavidia told us he was stopped by a Border Patrol agent in Montebello and despite telling him he was American, was pushed against this fence. He said he gave his real ID to the agent and never got it back. Here’s video his friend took www.latimes.com/politics/sto...
