Call a Senator that voted no tonight and demand that they vote to remove Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader. He has weaponized his incompetence against the American people by allowing 8 Dem Senators to cave to an authoritarian regime. We need real leadership, not the oligarchy’s lapdog

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers: “We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

Incredible achievement that the one price that the Trump administration has brought down notably is "cocaine."

Remember when Trumpists pushed investigations of the govt's interference with free speech because they communicated w/social media companies about disinformation? www.npr.org/2024/06/26/n...

I spoke with the NYT Magazine a while ago but have now heard that an editor said they can't quote me because I'm "too liberal" to be a trusted source. You know what's always the first example conservatives use to claim I'm "too liberal"? My work in the 1619 Project, organized by the NYT Magazine.

Also, if Ezra Klein believed in politics defined by vigorous debate with your opponents, he could come here on Bluesky and confront critics who engage with his ideas. But he won’t do that, because what he actually believes in is a politics where everyone worships Ezra Klein for his profundity.

I called about this last week, but will call again this week. This issue has traction, some Republicans in Congress are also upset that the CDC is being dismantled, so pressure now could have good effect. #resist

I love looking at this graph, showing it to my students, and sharing it on social media, even though it unerringly brings out the trolls. This is the efficacy curve of Pfizer's mRNA COVID vaccine. This, people, is what ended the emergency phase of the COVID pandemic. Despite what RFK Jr says.

Maybe ICE's goal is in part to make people afraid to go to their legal immigration appointments, causing more people to lose legal status out of fear of following proper procedures, and then they can be deported. #resist #ICE www.universalhub.com/2025/east-bo...
