No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

ICE and Border Patrol agents must be reined in. Here is one thing we can do right now. Please read and share. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/americas-gestapo

ICE agents killing people in the streets. The naked extortion of a sovereign state. The National Guard unleashed in American cities. The Justice Department weaponized to prosecute political opponents. The tyranny is on full display — and it's waking America up.

Kristi Noem funneled $220 million in taxpayer money to a firm tied to her inner circle. No-bid contract. Hidden companies. Personal + political connections. THIS DEMANDS AN INVESTIGATION.

Elect Jay Jones for Attorney General! Vote November 4! #ElectJayJones #RVA_Indivisible

#CancelSpotify. Delete the app. Don't use it. They are proudly promoting ICE ads, and the CEO is just a trash human being. Make an example of one company. All they worship is money. The color green trumps all others.

Why?!?!?

For the love of god plz SOMEONE in the White House pool report on the legal authority invoked in this memorandum

The money being spent on Trump’s ego parade could feed every single homeless veteran in America for more than four months.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

I don't want Canada, the Panama Canal, or Greenland. I want PBS, Social Security and the Smithsonian.

This is HUGE. For those wondering why due process is essential for EVERYONE. This is why!

This is criminal!

66,000 tons of food are rotting away in USAID warehouses thanks to Trump and DOGE. That's enough food to feed more than a million people in the world's poorest countries for three months — including over 480,000 kids. In what world is starving children "efficient"?

EVERY Member of Congress should be demanding an end to Israel’s forced starvation of over a million children in Gaza, for food and medical aid to be allowed in, and for a permanent ceasefire. Thank you to @welch.senate.gov and these Senators taking a stand.

Thanks to DOGE’s spending freezes: -EPA labs have halted critical research -Social Security staffers are rationing paper and can’t pay translators -NOAA has lost internet and phone services -National Park workers can’t buy medicine for visitors or rangers’ horses "Efficiency."

Reminder: when Sean Duffy was a congressman, he and other Republicans voted against upgrading air traffic control systems. Now, he’s trying to blame those systems for Newark airport’s outages – while claiming DOGE’s cuts of critical support staff at the FAA had nothing to do with it. Hello?

I miss Joe B and Locker for the Caps v Hurricanes matchup.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Astonishing display of patriotism from the good senator from the great state of New Jersey

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Was just reading John Quincy Adams' oral arguments before SCOTUS in the Amistad case and this part seems, uh, pretty relevant

Hold on, so Steve Witkoff was participating in the Signal group discussing war plans against Houthis while being physically in Moscow, perhaps even in the Kremlin? He met Putin late on March 13. Obviously the odds of Russia not compromising any device he would bring there are pretty slim.

The more coverage a story gets, the more important readers think it is. So it matters when the NYT inflates flimsy Dem ‘scandals’ while downplaying real, criminal ones from Trump and Republicans. It’s not just bad judgment — it shapes public perception.

Reports are coming in that Trump-era ICE agents have arrested even American-born citizens during raids. If you’re just heading to work or the grocery store, how would you prove you’re an American? This is getting out of hand—Americans have a right to privacy.

This is sickening

Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

I think it would make a big difference in our health if we banned Pharma ads from America like the rest of the world does.

Wait. It gets worse: "The new document states that the revenues will be directed to a fund in which the United States holds 100 percent financial interest, and that Ukraine should contribute to the fund until it reaches $500 billion....The US has allocated $119 billion for aid to Ukraine."

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

These are the ads about Elon Musk that the Washington Post refused to run. The paper offered NO EXPLANATION. This is the problem with outlets that are CONTROLLED BY BILLIONAIRES focused on ingratiating themselves with Trump. Support independent media: muskwatch.com/subscribe
