Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries started a sit-in protest on Capitol steps 4 hours ago just the two of them streaming at t.co/0AW2Jy3HmK and now looking like this….if you’re in DC go down there to help them out….way better than a "strong letter" from Chuck Schumer that Trump will toss in the trash

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West. ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.

Removing a black 4-star general at Secretary of Defense and replacing him with a white talk-show is the perfect example why DEI is essential. It's not about hiring unqualified minorities, it’s about foiling the majority's habit of hooking up under qualified mediocrities of their own caste.

RFK Jr wants us to believe that chronic illness is a moral failing. That people should “try harder” to be healthy. He doesn’t want us to realize that poverty, food insecurity, lack of universal healthcare, poor public health and other government failures cause more disease than lifestyle ever will.

So basically our core biomedical agenda has gone from cancer and heart disease research with major investments in alzheimers/dementia research to jacking up the sperm count of teenage males and a new wild goose for the 'hidden causes' of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.
