148 clinical trials have been impacted, with 138k patients due to be enrolled or already enrolled. Once research stops, some won't pick up where they left off. Even when terminated funding was reinstated, things do not go back to normal. There is so much waste happening. 🧪 archive.today/Rii7f

You did not lack "character" or "toughness" or intelligence. You lacked safety, support, & realistic tools. Extending yourself grace is not about "making excuses"-- it's acknowledging reality. You're not "the exception" who "should" have been able to figure it out"on your own.

Nobody voted for THESE guys!

Important update! Judge Karin Immergut just issued a broader temporary restraining order that precludes any National Guard troops from being in Oregon for 14 days.

When professors of relevant disciplines are saying this, chills run down my spine.

It is no coincidence that Trump, Hegseth, Miller, Noem and other members of the admin continue to make inflammatory partisan political speeches to military and law enforcement. They are conditioning them now to embrace the planned war to come - their war against other Americans.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

If I were the Mayor of Portland and I had access to any street cameras, I would make their feed public. I might go so far as to create a mosaic of the various camera feeds showing reality in Portland. And then I would call a news conference to talk about it. With the URL to the feed and or a QR

As a retired journalism professor, I believe every newsroom in America must now develop Civil War Protocols: how it will conduct the profession of journalism when Donald Trump declares martial law and systematically ends our democracy. If your newsroom isn't prepared for this, it's rank malpractice.

I can't remember the last time I read a story about deep and lasting friendship, of all the joy AND melancholy, it can bring. At its heart that's what I think "Everything Will Swallow You" is about. It has that wonderful strangeness Tom Cox (@dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social) brings to his fiction...1/2

Tulsa Race Massacre +100 killed Battle of Blair Mountain 1921 +100 Bonus Army eviction 1932 2 killed Memorial Day Massacre 1937 10 killed 1943 Detroit Race Riot 1943 34 killed Kent State shootings 1970 4 killed Jackson State killings 1970 2 killed MOVE bombing 1985 11 killed

Georgia, EU. I had to check which Georgia.

Scott Jennings is either lying or wildly misinformed about what happened in Chicago. He keeps claiming 37 Tren de Aragua gang members were arrested. As if it excuses zip tying kids. DHS says 37 were arrested, and only 2 were suspected gang members. Van Lathan gets it. We can’t lose our humanity.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life? #TwentyfiveFortyseven

Again, this is what the SCOTUS has sanctioned. On Sept. 10th @chrislhayes.bsky.social and I talked about Justice Kavanaugh’s opinion white-washing ICE raids in Noem v. Vazquez Perdomo. His fact-free opinion was either naive, lazy, or sinister. The Trump Admin read it as a green light.

Your friendly reminder that if you have never spoken up about anything and feel the need to, NOW is the perfect time to do so. Don’t be afraid. There are more of us than them. Our voices are louder and need you now more than ever.

The American Federation of Government Employees filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for inserting partisan political statements into furloughed employees’ automatic out-of-office replies during the government shutdown without their consent.

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

If Trump is allowed to murder civilians at sea, he is allowed to murder civilians in your streets. Charges need to be drawn up for his actions in the Caribbean and presented to a US court, military court, and international court. Everyone involved must also face charges.

How many fish had they caught?

Day #256 Big Beautiful Bill left AI restrictions to the states. Now that AI is being used on generals in attendance. The general that put his hand to his forehead? What do you think will happen to him? Stay outraged! #proudblue www.rawstory.com/trump-ai-sto...

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025. Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan. Legacy media failed the country.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

We’ve been warning about the propaganda. For more proof of how aggressively the Trump administration is pushing its propaganda machine, just look at the government websites.

She told America. We told America. Now, it's here.

It's a very bad look, General Freud.

The Ukrainian military—the toughest, most experienced, most adaptable, most successful on the modern battlefield—is beardy old men, women, artists, gamers who can’t deadlift sh*t but can fly a drone into a Russian helicopter rotor Focusing on capabilities, not “looks,” is how you achieve victory

I work with Veterans. If I told them that they "killed people and broke things for a living" they would (rightfully) tell me to go to hell. Those that have had to kill someone in the line of duty most often view it with sadness, regret, and one of the worst experiences of their lives.

If someone dropped a pin on the floor in the auditorium in Quantico, today, you could 100% hear it. Deafening silence from the Generals. No applause after Hegseth's blathering. Trump keeps pausing in places MAGA crowds would applause. ZERO reaction. Some hope remains.

This signature?

Sotomayor could offer to swear in Grijalva instead of Johnson. Get this done. MikeyJ is evil evil evil.

It's hard to fathom the speed with which we fell from the nation which was about to cure cancer with mNRA vaccines to one that wants to ban Tylenol for pregnant women.

Trump’s war on Tylenol is also very much a war on women | Arwa Mahdawi

Wine Moms and Soccer Dads, this is our time

If you're in Portland, go take some video of how nothing is going on there. Document that Trump is invading for no reason.

Artemis update: It's been a tough time. He is still in the hospital, not eating. A few folks have asked how they can help, so I've set up a GoFundMe to help with costs. If you've ever loved Artemis, his gravity experiments and feel moved to help him, here's the link. gofund.me/252b7473c

"gentlemen, i've called you to an urgent meeting today to announce ..."

Odd, how we can’t afford to give Americans healthcare, but we can afford to drop $200,000,000,000 on Argentina with a moment’s notice.
