Indeed I am! It's not just the utter shamelessness, it's how smug they act, how clever they seem to think they are, when their hypocrisy and mendacity is plain to see - for anyone who looks at it honestly

Thank you for your courage and your service!

Generally, we academics invite people who do good work in our field. As a scientist, that's people doing good & interesting science. Political views never enter the equation. So happens that science-, data-, and fact-loving people tend to end up being more liberal, tho there are exceptions.

Why are they so scared of this tiny, persecuted, and vulnerable population?

New Yorkers stop their march in front of 26 Federal Plaza to observe a moment of silence for all in our immigrant communities disappeared, killed and currently suffering at the hands of ICE. We’re united in demanding an end to these abuses. #ICEOutOfNY

Hi, just a note— The local ICE/ERO agent directing his team to fire at reporters' faces in Chicago this morning has been threatening press since we showed up at immigration court in June. His agents shot us both at close range last week, too. None of this started today!

In other words: today's news

Good for you! You *should* win, although Trump et al have replaced an awful lot of judges and are proficient at venue shopping

When they said their deportation effort involved "the worst of the worst," they should have been more explicit that they were referring to ICE agents. BTW, they'll use this video as a recruiting tool "Get your turn, too!"

When you have an administration that so constantly, shamelessly, openly lies, pretty soon there’s no faith in any information streams coming from the administration, so there’s no way to convey true information in a way that lands right, which leads to more chaos.

Hillary Clinton: "When I hear people like Kennedy talking about getting back to a time where we aren't vaccinating, we're drinking raw milk - yeah, & people didn't live! I mean, this is so crazy, it's so wrongheaded, it's so shortsighted and it's going to cause deaths... it already is costing lives"

Doncha just love how you couldn't distinguish them from an over-armed gang, or terrorists?

I hadn't previously watched Kimmel, but I was sure to play (albeit muted half the time) the YouTube videos - from Jimmy Kimmel Live - to show support.

Re: Trump’s Monday autism ramble, renowned autism expert Helen Tager-Flusberg said: “I was expecting some of what was presented, but I have to say I was shocked and appalled … In some respects this was the most unhinged discussion of autism that I have ever listened to.“ Trump thrives at unhinged.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

Thank you for all your work

Yes. This.

100%. I got into a bit of an argument at a protest earlier this year who complained that KH was a "terrible candidate." I challenged him until he let it slip that basically we have a terrible (racist misogynistic) electorate. Yet he still went on about how "terrible" she is/was

Unfortunately they seem intent on removing, one way or another, all members of these wildly different communities.

I gotta say, it's so hard to click that "like" heart for nearly all the news. Still I like that you're spreading this horrible news, though not nearly as much as I hate that people are blithely creating the situation being reported.

If we're still wondering, the answer is always: Too much. Way too much wrecking.

they’re putting Kimmel back on the air. I would now like to see the same amount of outrage for the firing of professors for their statements

Call me a filthy commie but I think blowing up boats without actually knowing who or what is on them is really evil and wrong

The exploitation of his death is worse than any criticism of his life.

It's amazing the pretzels they can twist with their "logic"

Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism. Here are two of the best. This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.

its just not defensible in 2025 for democratic candidates and officeholders not to have a clear position on asserting the equal rights of transgender americans. if you're unwilling, step aside and let a patriot take your place.

oh, no, don't give them ideas!

genuinely crazy to me how unitary executive advocates read the vesting clause as granting a huge scope of essentially royal "inherent" powers. one would think that if the framers intended to give the president royal authority, they would have just said so.

"When the right doesn't have power, they turn to appeals on principle. But when they do have it, those principles become an impediment, so they are discarded. How many Republicans have you heard talking about corruption or an independent judiciary or due process lately?" — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄

President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers: “It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”

Unfortunately I fear half the audience will view this as a promise rather than a threat

Horrifying. And this is exactly what they're glorifying

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

On the anniversary of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’s repeal, we honor the bravery of LGBTQIA+ service members. Today is also a stark reminder: our communities are under attack. Hateful policies continue to harm those who serve our country with dignity. We must keep fighting for true equality.

The White House may call it deregulation, but in reality, it's replacing written rules with unwritten rules. (Rule 1: "Don't upset the President.") It's swapping transparent, tested rules for secret, shifting ones. One set serves the public interest, the other reflects the President's whims.

No, we do not. We have to actually stand for something. And communicate it effectively. Then go out and persuade non-voters to vote and to vote for the things we stand for.

Hey freedom lovers. The Pentagon says reporters cannot publish info unless it is cleared, even when unclassified. One wrong move and they lose their badge. That is not how freedom works. That is not how the Constitution works. If you believe in liberty and limited government, let this light a fire.

I apologize for my country's apparent madness. If it's any consolation, many of us w/in the border also view it as a horror story

Great explanation. The even more extreme instances occur when someone formerly deemed "liberal" espouses some (usually hateful, either transphobic or racist) belief and gets feted by the right... and loves the attention and associated perks so much they go 'on the circuit'

Take the subscription fees for Disney, Hulu, and Paramount Plus, and spend them on PBS Passport instead. Pass it on.

I am proud to be born a Muslim. I am proud to be born in Somalia. I am proud to have become an American. None of you can change that no matter how much you rage tweet. Drink some water and touch grass.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target
