It is infuriating to see dozens of videos from my hometown of ICE agents invading the community. The video below shows my best friend's apartment in the background. It's just a block from a school. . . all schools were on lock down because of the chaos. This is not making the community safer.

At this point in this presidency, it seems irrelevant, but this can't possibly be legal.

Portland resists with whimsical improv theater, Chicago resists by screaming at weird jagoffs that don’t belong in the neighborhood. Every city brings its own strengths to the fight

You know that game we play . . ."imagine if Obama did that"? If we declare this a winner can we end the game?

More guns than people… Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?

@maragay.bsky.social I feel you. The thought of what could have been versus where we are brings me to the point of tears too.

Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.

Now, more than ever, scientists must adhere not only to scientific principles but also to a moral compass. "We will live through this drought of values, principles, and facts and again apply our talents to improving global health and happiness. Do not back down." www.statnews.com/2025/08/18/r...

As of today, all current NOAA Climate and Global Change postdoctoral fellows have been furloughed due to the Dept of Commerce not releasing the funding for the program. In addition no new Fellows were awarded this year. cpaess.ucar.edu/cgc

This is what makes us safe?

Is this what Trump voters wanted? ICE is going after the people who show up for work every day.

Marco Rubio is saying Iran should not have weapons of mass destruction. I agree. But that has been the case for decades. How is this moment dire enough that the President should be allowed to bomb another country without Congressional approval?

Our medical system is going to be a shambles before we know it. Millions will lose Medicaid/Medicare, medical research will be cut, hospitals will have to cover the costs of uninsured, holes will be left where international students previously filled roles, and RFK Jr will undermine all trust.

The assault on our medical system is going to hit us all soon, whether it's the people losing Medicare or Medicaid, medical facilities having to eat the cost of treating the uninsured, the loss of medical research funding, or the hole left by the international students who don't fill positions.

“If international medical graduates can’t start their medical residencies on time on July 1, the ramifications are so far-reaching that it is really unconscionable,” said Kimberly Pierce Burke, executive director of the Alliance of Independent Academic Medical Centers.”

Surprise! Surprise! The man responsible (but who has not taken any responsibility) for fueling the measles outbreak in Samoa in 2019, which resulted in 83 deaths, has replaced a panel of vaccine experts with anti-vaxxers.

The chickens are coming home to roost - this is what Americans voted for,like it or not. www.courant.com/2025/06/11/w...

I'm guessing that most people did not know that everything we learned in grade school about our country and constitution was so fragile.

Is this what America voted for? Trump bankrupting our country? It's not just another business.

GOP adopts "we're all going to die anywsy" approach.

10:45pm on Sunday night, the House Budget Committee is hard at work, passing horrendous legislation.

I've gotten to the point where I visit the Fox News posts just to get some positive energy about our future. Everyone is enthusiastic about the free plane, and they point out the salary that Trump forgoes. It's a vibe for a minute. And then I return to reality. It gets me through.

His vow to "Uphold the Constitution" was broken at least half a dozen times during his first presidency. I guess we're surprised that he shares his skepticism out loud?

We face a test. Do not fail.

"Science is the pursuit of objective truth for the benefit of mankind." Peter Mark's, MD Recently fired Director in the FDA

So, 90 days, and we'll do this all over again? What a relief 🥹

They told us that they were protecting us from the menaces to society. The reality is that our own government is becoming the menace if we allow this to stand.

Welcome to the resistance WSJ. 'Consequences': WSJ editorial turns on Trump for 'shattering trust' and 'punishing allies' www.rawstory.com/donald-trump...

They want us to accept that the people being plucked off the streets are dangerous menaces. Meanwhile, the menace is our own government. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

The vaccine does not "cause deaths every year."

Hey DOGE! I think I found the waste you've been looking for - $16M of wasted taxpayer money. abcnews.go.com/Politics/rem...

The meeting with Zelensky in the Oval Office did not happen in a vacuum. Earlier in the week, the US couldn't even vote to say that Putin was the aggressor in the war. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is important! (And good policy) ctnewsjunkie.com/2025/03/01/h...

Francis Collins led the mapping of the human genome, and chose to do big scientific to benefit the public. He is a a former NIH Director. He just resigned his position in government. His resignation letter: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/u...

The outcome at the White House with President Zelensky was predetermined. Either that or Trump allowed his emotions to override US international strategy. Neither one is good.

May I suggest something radical? Have mercy on people. Even on here. What’s happening is unprecedented, so politicians, journalists, public servants etc are doing their best to adjust. Not doing exactly what you think they should doesn’t mean they’re giving up or giving in.

What citizens believe they will benefit from these "government efficiency" efforts? Does any regular person think that their taxes are going down as a result of the Department of Education being gutted? Or as a result of FEMA money being rescinded? Or USAID being halted?

What am I watching? A man from South Africa, taking a break from rummaging through my childrens' data at DOE, in the Oval Office lecturing me about how I need to trust him to make sure government is accountable to the democratically elected officials? Irony is on a permanent sabbatical.

This is not the good thing that he must think it is.

New discoveries don't just happen without basic research.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.

And to think we were worried about TikTok.

So, private citizen Musk has access to our financial information, but the President won't share his tax returns with the American public? We live in an upside-down world.

RFK is knowledgeable enough to be dangerous. He read a study and jumped over 10 steps to come to a conclusion about medical treatment - one that is based in racism. That's not how medical science works.

Welcome to Georgia Tech! Can I interest you in one of our exciting fields of study, such as: * Law without justice * Business without equity * Biology without diversity We also have many extracurricular activities, however please understand you can only be excluded from them, not included.

Violent crimes, and mass shootings especially, are disproportionately committed by the young men to whom the 5th Circuit just granted a right to bear arms. Expect gun carnage in this country to worsen if the Supreme Court affirms this decision.

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.
