Looking good, #Brooklyn. As the mama and toddler say, it’s a beautiful day to say No to Nazis. (Also, NYPD, get outta the #bikenyc lane: You’re pushing a lot of people on bikes into vehicular traffic.) #TeslaTakedown #Resist #MomSky

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

It is very obvious to me, as a person who knows my own family history, that the reason the government is targeting Palestinians and their advocates is because they would very, very much like to have people blame The Jews for all this instead of blaming the Christian Nationalist fascists.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

My fear is that the Trump administration arrested Mahmoud Khalil to make an example out of him because they’re gambling Dems won’t put their jobs and lives on the line to protect a Palestinian.

Tuberculosis, the deadliest infectious disease on the planet, kills more than 1.25M people a year. New infections are expected to surge by 30% as a result of closing USAID, a memo says. The increase will inevitably lead to cases in the U.S.

For those supporting this obscene violation of due process and expansion of governmental overreach to detain and deport legal residents without due process, please research authoritarian regimes. Today they'll use it against a group you don't like, but it will be turned on you tomorrow.

As a fellow constituent, @schiff.senate.gov I too came here to ask this — it’s illegal and unconscionable to disappear anyone, and we expect you to fight hard for justice. For all of us. Do not make this easy for them.

the reason that the democrats need to get the fear of god put into them by their constituents is that we are going to get one bite at the apple in terms of fixing this and if we do not play constiutional hardball -- by, e.g., packing the Supreme Court -- we will lose American democracy.

How has the ADL landed so squarely on the wrong side of history? As a proud Jew and believer in Israel—although certainly not the lunacy of Netanyahu—I can’t reconcile how the ADL could support the disappearing of peoples solely for their beliefs. That hasn’t ended well for my people in the past.

This NYT sleight-of-hand is part of why Trump’s insane racism flourishes. The implication is that it’s possible to “attack diversity” WITHOUT a “racist undercurrent.” And it “surfaces” - as though Trump hasn’t been a rabid and explicit racist for years, and this is some new tone.

Senator Schatz makes an important point here: USAID’s work is about ending suffering, but it ALSO about our own national security. A stable world is a secure world. 47 and Musk are deliberately destabilizing the whole world. We can’t let them.
