tRump fired ten thousand people today from the CDC, FDA and NIH. Among those who lost their job was every person researching Alzheimer’s & helping those affected to improve their lives. Make no mistake, tRump WILL hurt you. Not if, but when. #DemVoice1 abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5. This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

The sane countries and leaders no longer trust us anymore. We had the opportunity to elect an intelligent, kind and worthy president but millions either could not be bothered to vote or voted for an evil and divisive orange monster instead. 😪 #Disney #X #JoyfulWarriors

That video of the abduction at Tufts. Really one of the most insidious and horrifying things I've ever seen on film.

Tufts student Rumeysa Oturk was abducted in broad daylight by masked men with guns who appear to be federal agents

ICE has detained Tufts grad student Rumesya Ozturk and revoked her visa. Her crime? She co-wrote an op-ed supporting Palestine. (Not a crime) Her whereabouts are currently unknown. We live in a fascist state. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I read the news and saw the video about the Tufts woman who was abducted by ICE. Infuriating. Monstrous. I don't recognize this place anymore. I am not going to turn a blind eye to the evil which is unfolding and pretend that this is normal and okay. We can't afford to be silent for the vulnerable.

Rumeysa Ozturk. Another graduate student taken by ICE.* And the response by the Tufts President is weak. So many of the leading universities are rolling over. *I urge you to watch the video though understand if you can’t.

I've read that Rumeysa Ozturk is a Turkish student at Tufts on a Fulbright. I was a Fulbright Scholar in Turkey from 2009-10. If Turkish police had disappeared me from Bogazici University for criticising Ankara's treatment of Kurds, Fulbright would've likely discontinued there for years. 🧵

Disappeared Tufts Human Dev. PhD student Rumesya Ozturk is also a graduate of Teachers College - she’s a dev. psychologist studying children’s media & prosocial development. She also bakes without recipes and binge-watches cartoons. She is our colleague & she was abducted on the street w/ our tax $.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt continuing to lie and gaslight the people is appalling. We've seen the texts, Propaganda Barbie. Resign.

Karoline Leavitt is such a fucking joke with the semantics. Trying to slam The Atlantic because they used both "attack plans" and "war plans" while writing the story. Like there's a difference. It's like her saying "I did not sleep my way to the top. I only let Trump awkwardly grab my pussy."

Good lord what a bunch of liars and incompetents. Also, as an aside. who sets their disappearing messages to 4 weeks if they want to avoid accountability? Also, @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social is a badass.

📌The biggest problem isn't that Pete Hegseth is an under-qualified moron who is texting our military secrets to our enemies like some 15-year-old, blackout drunk. The problem is there is an entire anti-American, bought-off political empire on the Right that simply doesn't give a shit anymore ...

You can STFU forever about “But Her Emails” now that creepy racist scumbag JD Vance, rapist drunkard idiot Pete Hegseth and other MAGA officials have endangered national security by sharing top secret war plans on Signal Chat. Trashy sexist hypocritical assholes.

Innocent people — undesirables, political dissidents — are being sent to camps here and abroad. A scapegoated minority is being persecuted, made an example of. Wrongthink is being stricken from government institutions and civil society. There is no more "if" authoritarianism arrives. It's here.

This struck me as the perfect distillation of JD Vance. He is a shockingly incurious and unserious guy who has faked his way into the center of power and now thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room.

Dear President Zelenskyy, I would like to apologize to you for the embarrassing, and classless behavior by Trump, and Vance. That's not who we are. They weren't raised right! We the People will continue to support you, and your people. We will not be bullied by dictators!

Rieckhoff: He's losing his women and children. His cities are being bombed, and we're talking about his clothes? It was victim shaming, which is what trump has been doing to Zelenskyy and Ukraine since before he got elected. It's unacceptable.
