This is happening because we do not want families separated. Do not lose sight of that. That is what Trump is calling an insurrection: community members fighting to keep loved ones together.

Resettling white Afrikaners as refugees is the sort of metaphor for "we are a really racist government" that most editors would remove from a dystopian novel for being way way too ham-fisted. Props to the Episcopal Church for using its religious freedom to call out this disgusting act.

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears. Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak. They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent. This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

The President of the United States is utterly out of control and possibly out of his mind, and only the Supreme Court of the United States can deliver the absolutely vicious permanent slapdown this moment requires. If that does not happen, the options for Americans appear to dwindle precipitously.

Dictator Donald abducted a legal resident, smeared him with fashion-based gang fantasies, ignored court orders, and dumped him into a torture pit for profit. His goons mock the victim’s wife while cheering the death of due process. This is fascism draped in a flag and doused in cruelty. 1/2
