🇵🇸 LOCKHEED OUT OF ST. PAUL, FREE PALESTINE! Last month, the Lock Out Lockheed campaign held a bannering outside of the St. Paul-based Lockheed Martin subsidiary ForwardEdge ASIC. ForwardEdge got $1.3 million in state tax giveaways to relocate to St. Paul.

It took Peter Staley two weeks to build 200 full-sized coffins. The longtime AIDS activist, with a group of volunteers, fashioned them out of styrofoam, tape and velcro. On Thursday, the volunteers stacked coffins 10 layers deep outside the State Department to protest cuts to global AIDS relief.

A conservative federal judge just issued a dire warning: The government must bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the United States after he was illegally deported to a brutal Salvadoran prison, or else the country will descend into lawlessness.

What everyone seems to be letting the Trump propaganda machine get away with is that it DOES. NOT. MATTER if he was a nice guy or not. The point is he was legally allowed to be here, was grabbed by mistake and deported sans due process as part of a vast illegal rendition scheme. That’s what matters.

Yes. The situation at NIH is worse than the public realizes. The #NIH is on track to be effectively ended as a funder of evidence-based research within a year. That is not an exaggeration. The firings and consolidation announced today will create a new, MUCH worse NIH. 1/

I just got a public death threat from a few folks who noticed I am doing a library event to talk about my career and my books. They called me all the familiar names, then “I won’t be sad if someone shoots her in the face.” And a woman’s reply, “Right between the eyes.” I am a children’s author.

An American doctor in Gaza described waking up to the sound of bombs last night. "All I could think was: we’re going to go back to this, and the world is going to continue to not care. I don’t know why more people aren’t burning shit down over this, I really don’t.”

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...

My post from yesterday. Today, Times is reporting that 150 tents have been erected in a “tent city” while 10 migrants flown to Guantanamo are currently being held in cells originally built to hold terrorism suspects. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I'm with a dozen public health professionals meeting with @amyklobuchar.com 's staff... next to her Minneapolis office. (We thought we had a meeting here but it turns out they don't meet with constituents in person in Minnesota, only in DC?! So we scrambled to find a public space) #VoughtNo 1/

It’s all a part of the same continuum. Genocide & ethnic cleansing from Gaza to the West Bank, silencing of Palestinians & their allies, resegregation, incarceration, and deportation, erasure of trans people. That’s why those who resist have to draw the line at every single moment—no exceptions.

Many Japanese Americans are recoiling from Trump's immigration crackdown. “This brings back all kinds of memories, even tears,” said one 91-year-old Berkeley resident. “You don’t think I’d remember much, but it’s amazing how much I do.” www.kqed.org/news/1202191... via @kqednews.bsky.social

The Trump admin has cancelled the panels that approve NIH grants, & is also banning scientists from communicating with the public, attending conferences, and hiring. NIH is the largest funder of biomedical research in the world. This will severely halt the development of many lifesaving treatments.
