Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Awful: Trump just blamed foreign students for taking the slots of American kids. But the cuts in the House GOP bill he's pushing could cost hundreds of thousands of working class kids their route to college. Those two things are connected. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1957...

As Parliament returns, remember: nearly 7 in 10 Canadians support proportional representation. In this minority government, we urge all pro-PR MPs to use their influence to make it happen and help build a democracy that works for all Canadians. #cdnpoli

A leaked USDA memo, reported by The New Republic, reveals Trump’s administration has banned terms like “climate,” “safe drinking water,” and “greenhouse gas emissions,” crippling scientific work and rural aid in a sweeping purge of so-called “woke” language.

If you drive drunk and your negligence kills someone, you will likely be sentenced to years in prison. If you are a Boeing executive and your negligence kills 346 people, you likely will not receive any punishment at all. In America, we don't treat white collar crimes as crimes.

Anti-vax is now the mainstream GOP position. They’re starting with COVID jabs because they’re new. And media has been willing to carve out an exception for skeptics of the COVID jabs as though they’re not anti-vaxxers. But they are and they’re coming after all vaccines.

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody." But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies. Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

Being a-political is a privilege of the Able. Disabled people don't have a choice but to engage in politics needed to create social safety nets. Maybe you're able now, but that could change literally any day, and is guaranteed to change the older you get. Be political like your life depends on it.

A) Makary is lying. Despite rampant misinformation about COVID vaccines they retain well above 70% public support…far more than this administration can say. B) If people “don’t want COVID boosters” they don’t have to get COVID boosters. Why do these dweebs oppose informed consent & the free market?
