Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —Arrested at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

It’s almost as though everyone in Trump’s orbit, inside and outside government, gets together on a (non-secure) Zoom call to decide “What’s the most corrupt and illegal thing we can do today? And on some days they can’t reach consensus so they just go ahead and do them all.

Trump’s DHS arrested the head coach of the Aussie MMA team and jailed him with gangmembers due to an alleged issue with his visa. Never charged, he was and deported without explanation.

This is the biggest news of the last 24 hours—not the Signal Scandal. Trump watchers have long said that early in his presidency he would begin a push to utterly destroy the U.S. voting system and disenfranchise millions and millions of voters. Here we go.

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

Elon Musk gutting programs that help the disabled, the very sick and the elderly is part of Eugenics. Musk believes in idea of eliminating the people from society he views as "weaker" so that only the "strong" survive. This is known as "Scientific racism" and it's intertwined with white supremacy

The MAGA regime announced that the orange felon has signed an executive order saying he and his bribe for hire crook Pam Bondi are the only ones who can interpret what the law is. This is what freely committing a coup in broad daylight looks like. We’re fucked.
