If ICE is on the up and up, why are they wearing masks, and sometimes not wearing badges? Democrats need to instigate investigations NOW! "agents participating in a February raid in Tennessee did not have badges. " www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...

Rubio is 100% complicit with this admin’s abuses of power. He is not an unwilling participant or a voice of reason. He’s in deep, all in so-to-speak. Ex: Pausing of J-1 visas to scrutinize applicants social media over ANY criticism of Israel’s War on Gaza which they conflate with antisemitism.

See, this is what happens when professional societies put on the blinders and fail to take a stance early on due to wanting to avoid being “political”. This will be devastating for our Chinese students and our field overall because they make significant contributions.

Today, a federal court in Boston will hear Harvard's case against Trump’s attacks on its international students. We must defend our students, our educators, and our values.

Medicare for All means Medicare for ALL — not some, or a few, or most. Health care is a human right. Every other major country recognizes that. It's long past time the United States does as well.

While a serious setback. These are deliberate moves to distract attention. Keep your eyes on the ball. Tariffs just got shot down. Expect lawsuits over this nonsense as well.

Steven J. Fleischman, MD, president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said in a statement, “The science has not changed. It is very clear that #COVID infection during pregnancy can be catastrophic and lead to major disability." @acog.org

I have now had three different people tell me they can't believe I got covid because they assumed it was eradicated. No... No, it was not.

Mask up NOW “A new COVID variant, known as NB.1.8.1, has made landfall in the United States, and it's more transmissible than other variants.” www.huffpost.com/entry/the-mo...

Treating a new Covid strain like a crime and not a public health issue is deranged.

It’s shockingly refreshing when someone will just say: “guys, he’s got no clothes on, you can see it too — right??” www.ft.com/content/1dd8...

Yup.

Canada is doubling down on DEI and I am SO here for it:

Reminder:

All these "tools" are scared shitless of the Grifter in Chief or they're on the payroll.

More of this please. Apparently their modus operandi is to use U-Haul trucks. Be on the lookout and report suspicious activities to law enforcement.

Just a reminder. This beautiful former First Lady has a Law Degree from Harvard.

Ts being sold. Indeed, that is the question to be asking ourselves.

And there you have it. Micro-corruption. Everyone needs to do some soul searching. www.instagram.com/reel/DJMcyKH...

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Spied on Threads and YES.

2025 breaking news: women’s pain should be treated

"Around 14,000 babies in Gaza could die in the next 48 hours if more aid trucks did not reach the population, U.N. humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher told the BBC on Tuesday." Democratic and Republican establishments both support this by the way. It's a genocide.

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

The absence of the U.S. from the WHO's annual assembly is a glaring void in global health leadership. This withdrawal not only undermines international cooperation but also jeopardizes the fight against pandemics. The world cannot afford such negligence when lives are at stake. #3E

Call your senators. This bill is heading to them next and they can stop it if the people speak out. (202) 224-3121

The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.

Hundreds of fired federal workers are expressing interest in running for office, attending trainings held by progressive groups. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

This is huge. A win. I attended a TED Women conference in that building. I’m glad it will not be desecrated and hopefully the good work done there can continue. www.threads.com/@apnews/post...

“There is no compromise with a government that regards its own army as expendable material and someone else's nation as a temporary mistake.” tomorrowsaffairs.com/negotiations...

NEW: Attorney General Ken Paxton’s crusade against alleged voter fraud has led to the criminal prosecution of six Democratic officials, all Latino, in Frio County, Texas. Civil rights groups say the charges are politically motivated and aim to suppress Latino civic participation.

I couldn’t find my regular measuring tape but a woman medical physicist is always prepared.
