Conscientious objection to vaccines for religious or "I did my own research" BS is folly. Real allergic reactions to vaccines? Extremely rare. Refusing vaccines is harming your family, your neighbors, your community, your state, your nation, and the world. Grow up and take the preventive measures.

Chris Van Hollen has pointed out that because El Salvador is a member of the ICC, not allowing Abrego Garcia access to legal representation is a violation, and places ES dictator, Bukele, in possible legal jeopardy, as well as possible legal sanctions.

The Right has been rabid about denying the government a national gun registry. Now this they think if fine, because people on the spectrum have no rights to privacy or freedom from government tracking and monitoring without consent?

Government / politics should not be for $ale. Otherwise, poor people have no voice. Monied folk exert undue influence. That got us in the current mess. The Dark Money Game, S1E2, "Wealth of the Wicked." Essential viewing explains how/why we have a majority conservative SCOTUS: money power politics!

Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova has been in ICE custody for about two months. Her colleague and friend Leon Peshkin says her case is causing some scientists to reconsider working in the U.S.

I want politics to be about a better everyday life. Here's what that can look like:

When the moment came, Harvard didn’t hedge or flinch—it stood up. A reminder that integrity isn’t complicated, it’s just rare.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

"withholding from removal" and yet, Mr Garcia was rendered to El Salvador- the very country from which he fled as a youth - without due process

The current Trump Republican administration doesn't look kindly on whistleblowers, nor protecting them. They are so untrustworthy that they cannot comprehend truth-telling, which they see as disloyalty. "Mistakes?" No, those are things we cover-up, because they "didn't happen." Weaknesses to hide.

What folks love about @repjasmine.bsky.social is simple—she keeps it real. No sugarcoating, no political gymnastics. She says what the rest of us are thinking but don’t have the mic to say out loud. She’s right—this is a “nightmare”. And we need more voices like hers, calling it out—no apologies!

Department of Homeland Security? Don't you mean Department of White Homeland Bullies? You had no business doxxing Mr Garcia's wife. If you had any decency, you would have talked to her, 1st. And if the records weren't sealed, then what kind of protection for women is that? Or could it be that...

Funny how the allegations against a White man drugging and raping a woman didn't stop the US Senate from confirming him to one of the highest offices in the US (with corroborating accounts of similar out of control behavior), and here, Mr Garcia's wife is doxxed because her husband had 1 allegation:

So Senate confirmation must now include vetting and full investigation of all spouses, past and present, and all attorneys? No. Policies are that these people are not to be guests or otherwise privy to government work product, especially if they have ties to the press. It's like they're...
