Fake emergencies to justify crackdowns-not very original

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

while most americans probably don’t know anything about domestic military law, i think most folks’ instincts will be that there’s something very wrong, illegal, & un-american about this

ER doctor here! Please seek medical attention (go to the ER) if you are hit in the head with a ballistic. “Less lethal” weapons kill people all the time, in addition to causing permanent disabilities. If you don’t feel safe disclosing that you were protesting just say you were hit in the head, etc

The ONLY way we deal with this is with WAY more people. There needs to be 100k people between ICE and ppl they’re trying to grab constantly.

It’s not merely Trumpism. This has been the conservative project for decades going back to the 1970s. The entire right-wing messaging apparatus exists solely to divorce the population from reality. And the agenda? Putting entrenched wealth out of reach of our democracy. Elites don’t want to pay.

Should we follow Putin out of the ECHR? Or is it just another Brexit where we give up our rights in the vain pursuit of making migrants disappear?

Yesterday I received this in an email sent to the women faculty in medicine group: “It may be obvious, but I’m writing to explain that we haven’t had any interactions for the simple reason that the Trump administration has set rules that do not allow focus on women.” 1/

Kennedy is deeply nuts. Everything I read about him gets weirder. Like swimming and submerging in sewage water. Or the bear thing. Or the whale carcass. Now it’s unproven stem cell therapy? Anti-vax is the least weird of his positions. And that’s saying something.

Incredible. Gaines was never the victim. She’s always been a cry bully.

Remember this when politicians say universal healthcare, or any other public good, is too expensive.

People don’t realize just how much damage this administration is doing to American science—and confidence in American science globally. Everyone I speak with inside is horrified…
