ICE arrests, detains British woman with US husband and newborn when she shows up for her green card interview. She’s now in a detention center, separated from her 6-month-old. No criminal record. She had overstayed her visa. www.lbc.co.uk/article/brit...

“We’ve tried to not have to do it, but we've got direct orders,” the masked ICE agents told them www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/i...

These same freaks whined for years that removing monuments to Confederate generals, actual traitors to our country, was “erasing history”. They really should just get real and rename themselves “White Christian Heritage Foundation”.

Donald- So I just admit that I was wrong and I get to go into heaven? Jesus- Yes my child. I paid the price for your sins when I died on the cross Donald- But I have to admit I was wrong? Jesus- Yes my child. Donald- I like messiahs who weren't crucified.

the maga constitution doesn’t allow any institution, public or private, to explicitly work to ameliorate racial inequality but allows the government to racially profile

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

“When they finished with the search there was a male officer standing outside who looked confused. He asked me why I was here to which I told him what had happened,” she said. “He told me, ‘Wow. You should not be here right now, you have Trump to thank for that though.’”

Former NSW police officer Nikki Saroukos, 25, urges travellers to avoid the United States after she was detained, strip-searched, and forced to spend the night in a federal prison while trying to visit her husband, a U.S. Army lieutenant stationed in Hawaii. Reason: “Packed too many clothes!”

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

A leader who exits at a moment like this is a leader we wouldn't want. #GoBlue

Santa Ono thought he fell into a plum job. He fell into a tough job at a tough time, and his departure is all the proof we’ll ever need that he wasn’t up to the challenge.

Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.

in case you're wondering, "what's the harm in claiming an extinct species has been brought back from the dead" when it most certainly has not, our interior secretary is already using it to justify taking animals off the endangered species list

Kennedy going to the funeral like a murderer returning to the scene of the crime

In books the cops always stake out the funeral in case the serial killer shows up

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Roald Dahl wrote this letter about losing his daughter *39 years ago*. RFK, and the politics he promotes, will inflict this unimaginable pain on many parents, if they get their way.

The information I am receiving is consistent with the STAT story. The boards are being purged of women and minoritized scientists with no other obvious pattern. And for the cases where I have some information, the effects are not subtle...Boards going from 35% women to 10% women. 3/n

I think the Atlantic scandal might actually be a pretty big turning point, more than it seems at first. Not because it's the worst thing Trump has done, but because they look SO, SO stupid and incompetent. And it's an incredible reminder that this is all a massive clown show.

1. For the past thirty years I've had the best job in the world. 
I've had the opportunity to follow my curiosity; explore the workings of nature and society; mentor students and junior colleagues in the same process; and teach generations of students about it all.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

They're trying to kill you and your family. Your elderly relatives are at risk as long as Trump and RFK remain in power.

By retracting foreign aid, President Trump could make the world’s deadliest infectious disease untreatable again, @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social writes.

Folks are mad at Schumer and the CR Dems, but this analysis holds up. It was the right thing to try every angle to get a better deal than this CR, but letting it go to a shutdown on dem votes alone would have been a gift toTrump and Elon. t.co/CTum1n525q

This article should shock anyone’s conscience. The USAID cuts are a genocidal act by Musk and the Trump admin. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/h...

Over the past week, several recent ex-State Dept officials reached out to me with a major concern. DOGE could soon access a huge defense-export database that represents a massive, if not transformational corruption opportunity for Musk & allies. Meet USXports:

“I’d understand a strategic reduction in force if needed,” said one USDA employee, who was fired over the weekend. “But this was a butchering of some of our best. Does the public know this?” this excellent WP story explains why the firings are illegal. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

The people that get paid off indirect funds are the secretaries, maintenance workers, security guards, HVAC techs etc. It’s the pool of money that pays for the blue collar stuff, and that’s who they will have to lay off.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

“Female”? So NIH is different from NSF, but it’s a requirement of every NIH grant that works with humans or animal models that they discuss sex as a biological variable, i.e. discuss how many male and female subjects will be studied.

i can wreck up a whole shop of Faberge eggs in like thirty seconds if you give me a hammer but i'm not sure i could make another one given the rest of my life

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I spoke to former Treasury and OMB officials, and they said Elon Musk accessing government payment systems could give him the power to selectively turn off payments. They described what this really means in very clarifying terms. See below: newrepublic.com/article/1910...

Federal contractors & grant recipients all over America have hired people, taken out loans, ordered long lead time items, etc. based on expectation contracts with the US federal government are real contracts. Now they're being told Uncle Sam wont pay up for an indeterminate period of time (if ever!)

Here are just a few of the NSF review panels that were shut down today, Chuck. This is research that would have made us competitive in computer science that will now be delayed by many months if not lost forever. AI is fine but right now the top priority is keeping the lights on at NSF and NIH.

4/ The biggest surprise? Media indoctrination and civil liberties repression are the most predictive of autocratic survival. These findings have big implications for “information autocracies” in the digital age.

trump’s apparent obsession with invading canada — and obsession with territorial conquest in general — is only funny insofar that you can use it to make fun of dipshits who backed or apologizes for him because he was “antiwar.” otherwise, it is genuinely quite concerning.

We should be monitoring for inappropriate drone use. It’s usually gonna be local knuckleheads, but more nefarious activity is possible. But politicians feeding hysteria based on misidentification of stars and airplanes aren’t helping - they’re distracting. bsky.app/profile/cnn....

Cmdr. Elizabeth Nakagawa miscarried a very much wanted pregnancy. She nearly died after her military health insurance denied her a D&C, which is used for both miscarriage care and abortions. www.propublica.org/article/eliz...

I AM LOSING MY FUCKING MIND

Putting a finer point on it: I think some of the people who were celebrating this guy a couple days ago are going to be in for a nasty shock if/when his folk hero status crosses streams with the Rufo/LibsofTikTok method of targeted harassment

happy "unearthing the bizarre politics of the shooter" day to all who celebrate the great American tradition
