This, from the Holocaust Memorial Museum.

This is the most horrifying statement yet. ALL of us are vulnerable to this plan, even citizens.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

Dear Media, 🗞️ A felon defying court orders to return people he has disappeared is illegal, anti-American, and against EVERYTHING millions of people have laid their lives down to protect in this country. 🗞️START FUCKING REPORTING IT THIS WAY AND GIVE THIS HORROR THE WEIGHT IT DESERVES. -Thank you

Fantastic sign.

Ideas aren't illegal. People aren’t illegal. And if ICE tries to intimidate people from freely expressing themselves, it's our job to stop it.

Crows in a lab were able to distinguish shapes that exhibited right angles, parallel lines, and symmetry, suggesting that, like humans, they have a special ability to perceive geometric regularity.

Why should you be concerned about Trump “accidentally” deporting people who have zero criminal record? Because if he can do it to them — and ignore judges when they tell him to stop — he can do it to anyone he wants.

Have information you think the public should know about the Census Bureau, Postal Service or other parts of the federal government? I'm a @npr.org correspondent who's on Signal at hansi.01

The cuts "would kill the much-anticipated Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, an observatory seen as on par with [Hubble & JWST] that is already fully assembled and on budget for a launch in two years." Would also apparently close NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Huge, HUGE loss for science.

The Fascism Expert at Yale Who’s Fleeing America Philosophy professor Jason Stanley is leaving the US for Canada, “the Ukraine of North America,” because he believes Trump’s America is “pretty far along” in the grips of fascism.

Perhaps this could be helpful in your calls to your elected representatives www.americanprogress.org/article/doge...

Remember: Republicans in Congress can put a stop to this at any time.

Last Wednesday, Trump single-handedly wiped out trillions of dollars of wealth, decimated Americans' retirement savings, and increased the likelihood of a recession. And instead of working to protect Americans from the crisis he created, Trump spent the weekend playing golf.

Throngs of demonstrators gathered Saturday in dozens of cities across Washington state, and around the country, to protest the actions of President Donald Trump and his billionaire advisor Elon Musk.

Acting like wearing makeup is somehow a revolutionary act instead of something that's been demanded of women by the patriarchy is wild.

Pussy Riot came to NYC to tell us “ We see the rise of authoritarianism here and we want go call people to not be silent. We want ppl to remember not to give up”.

I’m so sorry; but I can’t sit here enraged alone. What in the Phyllis Schafley is this? ‘Ladies sure you can do science; just make sure your hair looks good for takeoff and don’t forget your lipstick in space’

'we're breaking the stereotype that women can't be pretty and do science' 'okay sure whatever so you're doing that by doing science stuff right?' 'no we're gonna put lipstick on and take a ride then come back' damn, feminism saved.

Musk staffers are in the process of seizing control of the Peace Corps’ headquarters.
