Human rights defender Greta Thunberg: "I am not scared of Israel, I am scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity. What we are doing here is trying to show there is some humanity left. That there are still people willing to step up when all other means fail." #3E

A federal judge, Rita F. Lin, has ordered the National Institutes of Health to release hundreds of millions of dollars in research funding that had been frozen at the University of California, Los Angeles. Thank you, Judge Lin!

So: Fascism is bad The First Amendment is good Genocide is an actual fucking crime And also: It's appalling to be in 2025 where each of these is not, in fact, taken as part of the baseline shared reality anymore

Dr. Susan Monarez, recently removed as director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warned in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that the Trump administration is deliberately weakening the country’s public health and vaccine protections. This is a danger that should concern us all.

Constantly amazed by the compassion people show! 💜

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

Trump is currently disappearing the homeless from DC.

How Trump's hostile takeover of DC is going so far. Amount of gangs stopped: 0 Amount of crimes prevented: 0 Amount of US tax dollars used per day: $66,667 to $266,667 Amount of Subway sandwiches thrown at feds: 1 #freeDC #freeSubwaySlinger

"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."

He’s not stopping in DC and you know that. #3E #freeDC

Responding to President Trump’s plan to put District police under federal control, D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb called the move “unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful.” “There is no crime emergency in the District of Columbia,” Schwalb said.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

Trump asks, “Why do the parks need more staff?” Then you read: “Yellowstone visitor drinks from hot spring.” Enough said.

“Federal law closes courthouse doors to incarcerated journalists”

Rough batch of headlines today. 😞 @bloomberg.com @cnbc.com @wsj.com

Following up on our last post, things are getting more crazy by the day. Using federal law enforcement to go after your political opponents isn’t democracy. It’s authoritarianism. Call it what it is fascism.

“.. Unemployment rates among tech workers between 20 and 30 years old jumped by 3 percentage points since the start of this year .. , “a .. larger increase than we’ve seen for other young workers,” he said. @cnbc.com www.cnbc.com/2025/08/05/a...

The situation at the immigration detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz” has gotten so bad that detainees have been on a hunger strike for over ten straight days.

One was beaten unconscious. Others were covered in bruises, struggling to walk or vomiting blood. Another said he’d been sexually assaulted. These are the stories of 16 former detainees who were deported to El Salvador’s mega prison.

150%. We now know, unequivocally, that the rot goes much deeper than Trump. The crisis won’t be easy to reverse.

The EPA is preparing a proposal that would revoke a critical 2009 legal determination stating that greenhouse gases are harmful to human health. That finding has been the backbone of U.S. climate regulations for over a decade.

Yesterday we posted about the Trump administration shutting down the LGBTQ+ youth crisis line, the “press 3” option on 988 is officially gone. The Trevor Project is stepping up to help fill the gap, and they could really use some support right now. If you’re able, please consider donating! 🏳️‍🌈 💛

WTF?!? Border Czar Tom Homan claimed that ICE and Border Patrol agents don’t need probable cause to detain people they suspect are undocumented, saying they can do so based on factors like physical appearance. This is straight-up racial profiling, not law enforcement.

Project 2025 plans to break up and reduce the components of NOAA. But the services NOAA provides, every citizen uses every day.

Here is a list of reported conditions at the Florida Everglades immigration “camp”. These reports come directly from detainees and their loved ones.

When a government starts targeting former intelligence officials, law enforcement leaders, and anyone who once investigated or criticized those in power, it’s not just a red flag, it’s a page straight from the authoritarian playbook.

US citizens tired of the regime's human rights abuses confronted Trump regime ICE forces outside of San Francisco’s immigration court, blocking vans. The heroes formed human chains and disrupted transfers. ICE proceeded to attack them setting off a street clash. #3E #StopICE

Unable to fight off an angry crowd of US citizens, Trump regime ICE forces threatened lethal force; attacked civilians with a van outside San Francisco’s immigration court, running over at least one woman. This is the most violent clash with ICE so far as tensions nationwide escalate. #3E #StopICE

Some of my fellow Floridians haven’t figured out yet that not having tourists in a state that relies heavily on tourism is going to hurt us in the short term, let alone the long term. But they voted for it. So good. It’s too dangerous for people to come here. They should stay away.

The US is experiencing its worst measles outbreak in over 30 years, with 1,288 cases reported just six months into the year. The vaccine-preventable disease has led to three deaths, two children in Texas and an adult in New Mexico, and dozens of hospitalizations.

Very good work. Read it and act. www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-secret...

Love you, Canada! 🇨🇦 Canadians get the Florida boycott. Air Canada is cutting back its flights to Florida. 💚✊

The first group of immigrants has arrived at a new “camp” deep in the Florida Everglades, where officials are openly describing it as “concentrating” certain people in one area. Have you seen the photos of the flooding? This entire site is a human rights violation.
