Filming federal agents in public is not a crime, nobody should be harassed or restrained for doing so, nobody should have their phone confiscated for it, and nobody should get the death penalty for it. This is supposed to be a free Republic, not an authoritarian police state.

NYE, 2025: Who better to give us a message of inspiration and hope than Jane Goodall? I hope her last message gives all of you some perspective and motivation needed to look forward to 2026. 💙 CB

Dr. Jane Goodall was a gift to humanity

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

"To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country – I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story." Governor JB Pritzker

Kennedy is killing science. That will end up killing people.

🧪 RFK Jr recently said that doctors profit off of vaccines. The CDC was a target of shooting by a man who blames his health issues on the Covid vaccine. This administration does not believe in real innovation. This MAHA rhetoric is taking us back decades. He needs to be removed. Sign and share.

The launch of an important new public resource. The Anti-Corruption Tracker: Mapping the Erosion of Oversight and Accountability www.justsecurity.org/117267/anti-... The Tracker is a living document that will be continually updated. A screenshot below gives you a sense of the Chart and its data.

Just watched #Sirens. The characters were amusing for sure. I'm originally from #Buffalo, though; they made Buffalo seem too dysfunctional, IMHO. Sure, the city has issues, but it's been experiencing an ongoing renaissance during the last decade. I ❤️ 🦬

#AEJMC & #ComSky, I’d love your brief (anonymous) reflections on mentoring women & non-binary scholars! If you’ve been a mentor, mentee, or witnessed positive mentorship, please share: forms.gle/wXydW9if7LdB.... I'm collecting these for the @aejmc-csw.bsky.social newsletter. @aejmc.bsky.social

The Trump regime is about to burn 500 tons of USAID emergency food. Why? Because it expired after its shipment was delayed. 1.5 million children could have eaten for a week. Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed. This isn’t just inefficient – it’s cruel.

Pneumonic Plague has returned to the USA. U.S. Department of "Health" and Human Services, how long before you suggest we pass out plague masks? #antihealth

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

No. No, we are not.

Murkowski said “my hope is that the House will recognize we’re not there yet.”If a bill’s not there yet, you vote no. Hope doesn’t keep nursing homes open, feed children, fund disaster recovery, care for veterans, train workers, keep bridges standing, or pay hospital bills.

I offered to pick up Fleur from my parents the day after our international trip was called off, and they were all, “She’s good, she sleeps at our feet and follows us everywhere without a leash. Come next week." I keep finding myself holding out berries for her 🥺. I cannot wait to get her back!!

I wouldn't even feel safe protesting near a Trump property at this point with all the foreign policy disasters he's single-handedly brought upon us. Good luck with that hotel you're building across from Iran...

Just awful

Democratic Establishment, Instead of sinking money into (unsuccessfully) blocking the party's evolution, use your resources to support that evolution. Mamdani is exactly what the people want: a genuine grassroots fighter who stands with the people, not with the powerful. Take note.

MUST SEE: Congresswoman Schrier nails conspiracy theorist and unfortunate HHS Secretary, RFK Jr., on the value of vaccines—and it’s glorious. Schrier also happens to be the first pediatrician in Congress.

In response to RFK loading up the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee with anti-vaxxers, medical societies, local health departments, and advocacy groups are working to preserve vaccine access by ordering vaccines directly from manufacturers and emphasizing vaccine guidance from medical associations.

Whatever word you choose to describe it, Israel’s brutality in Gaza is criminal, repugnant and shows no sign of slowing down. Just as Russia’s is in Ukraine. Trump’s friends.

JUST NOW: Bernie tells the crowd about Trump attacking Iran, the crowd erupts into “NO MORE WAR!” chants Bernie calls the attack “grossly unconstitutional”

A drug with the potential to “end the HIV pandemic,” that was just approved by the FDA, will launch in the US this week, as a new study reveals it could be sold for 1,000 times less than its possible price tag. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) Mayor Ras Baraka (D-Newark) Judge Hannah Dugan (WI) Controller Brad Lander (D-NYC) This is not normal. This is not okay. We cannot let them convince us that this is normal or okay.

If you’ve served on academic hiring committees: What are the most helpful materials you’ve seen in assistant professor applications (beyond the CV & cover letter)? My older brother applied to a zillion jobs, my older sister just one — they’re both department chairs where they landed. No pressure 😂

Netanyahu began this war with his attack on Iran. In the process, he sabotaged US-Iran negotiations on nuclear issues and assassinated Ali Shamkhani, Iran’s lead nuclear negotiator. The US must not be dragged into another illegal Netanyahu war – either militarily or financially.

Hit the streets tomorrow. Be nonviolent. Be joyfully defiant. Be defiantly joyful. Ridicule him. Condemn fascism. Oppose I.C.E. Affirm diversity. Embody America. Love your neighbor. Refuse to be intimidated. Be safe. Be loud. Be encouraged. #NoKingsDay

Melissa Hortman, a former Minnesota House speaker, was assassinated early Saturday in what Gov. Tim Walz called “an act of targeted political violence.” Here’s a look at Hortman’s legislative history and legacy on key policies.

On the horrifying shooting in Minnesota.

Most definitely!

Philly showin' up today

I’m praying for Rep. Melissa Hortman’s family, and for Sen. John Hoffman and his wife’s recovery this morning. The rising tide of political violence in this country tears at all the values we hold dear. This is not who we are. This has to end.

Love this

300,000 people have already died, mostly from starvation, as a direct result from the defunding of USAID. These were real human beings with hopes and dreams just like you. Trump-Musk are 100% responsible for their deaths. Sadism kills.

WATCH: “It's totally unconscionable,” says Sen. Bernie Sanders on the GOP bill that would kick 11 million Americans off health care. “And to do that in order to give massive tax breaks to people today on the top—who have never ever had it so good—is beyond cruel.”
