Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel. King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.

America is now on the clock. We have two weeks to remove Donald Trump from office through the 25th Amendment or impeachment. Not saying that will happen, only saying that a nation with even a shred of decency would get to work on it immediately.

"Biggest scam in modern political history."

GOP: the mail is secure enough to receive your photo ID, social security card, your debit and credit cards, your stimulus checks, and your tax returns Also GOP: the mail is not safe enough for voting

This is unbelievable. Cut money from programs people really need to blow it on crap like this! 😡 Pete Hegseth Blew Billions on Fruit Basket Stands, Chairs, and Crab | The Defense Department went on a $93 billion spending spree in 2025. newrepublic.com/post/207555/...

This Forbes article is a year old & now that the US & Israel have unleashed Operation Epstein Fury onto the world and acid rain is falling on Tehran, this article seems terribly prescient. www.forbes.com/sites/nilsro...

It is WAY past time to impeach, convict and remove this abomination. He treats the Constitution like it’s the toilet paper he uses after he sh*ts on the country. www.npr.org/2026/03/08/g...

As a red-letter Christian who loves me some table-flipping Jesus, I must say that if these United States survive the religious extremism and perverse cruelties of the Trumpian Era, judicial reform ALSO needs to be prioritized. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

This is a critical reminder. It remains to be seen whether FOTUS supporters share this baseline or whether they prioritize white supremacist and “Christian” nationalist drivel more.

Call it what it is: 'Operation Epstein Fury' is an apt name for the disastrous distraction that Trump just unleashed in the Middle East. Here's good look at the bad faith negotiations that happened, & the string pulling going on behind the curtain. open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

There is no amount of money in the world that would lead me to fight a Vietnamese refugee that grew up in Louisiana (Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)

Gallego: "They're going and racially profiling people and rounding up Americans until they can prove their citizenship. That money came from kicking millions and millions of Americans off Medicaid. It was the same bill. They cut Medicaid to expand ICE."

“We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done," journalist Garrett Graff wrote: "A superpower … suicide because the [Repub] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Good Morning Dear Virginia Giuffre.. I am thinking of you this morning.. May this be the start of many who must be held accountable. On his 66th birthday Andrew arrested Yes Virginia as your family stated ..."NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW" RIP Brave Virginia "Miles To Go Before I Sleep" #Epstein

Americans waking up to news that Prince Andrew has been arrested for Epstein ties

Thank you Dr. LaNitra Walker for this reflection on Black History Month. What was meant as a corrective has become a container, and even that continues to be under attack by those convinced of Black inferiority. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Poll taxes are unconstitutional. Any i.d. that is required to vote has to be provided by the government. This is a way to disenfranchise the poor. Call your senators.

Other countries can do it, why can’t we? www.france24.com/en/live-news...

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L59wZJZY #Demcast

Good morning Bluesky. The Olympics has always been a troubling reality. It is not impervious to racial bias. My belief, believe half of what you see, and almost none of what you hear, if it is coming from the media. Do your research.

Yep

Law without a morality that respects human dignity is an abomination. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Democrat Taylor Rehmet won a Texas state Senate election in a reliably Republican district that Trump won by 17 points in 2024

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

This episode is a somewhat brutal reality check about the uphill battle to end qualified immunity. It CAN happen but … it’s going to be a battle. Best to go into it with eyes wide open. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

So basically Albert Speer’s defense at Nuremberg.

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., rolls out his demand for supporting a DHS appropriations bill: fire Stephen Miller

It boils down to this: They want the founding without the violence that made it possible.

WA state pals: there is currently a state bill (HB2641) that will ban certain federal officers (ICE) from employment at any state law enforcement. Read the bill here: lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/202... Comment here: app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/2641 Share and comment!

It's much worse now. It is imperative we learn from history.

I’m catching up on my podcasts and found this - per usual - to be a very helpful episode to better understand how on the brink we are. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

I mean those Epstein files must be REALLY bad for everyone. Republicans, Democrats, their families, friends and most importantly DONORS. Literally no other SANE reason this hasn’t been put to a stop by Congress yet. Cowards.

Okay, tell me the AP isn’t totally trolling our Toddler-in-Chief with this photo.

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday. Perhaps commemorate it by giving these a listen/read and make an active commitment for the Beloved Community. www.npr.org/2024/02/07/1...

This MLK Jr Weekend, let’s prioritize gathering in community AND reflecting thoughtfully and creatively on the lessons of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. beyond the willful misquoting of “I Have a Dream.” #CreateBelovedCommunity open.substack.com/pub/letspeop...

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.

I remember saying months ago that the reason you don't see Proud Boys anymore is because they're all ICE agents now and I had a bunch of people poo-poo me and say I was reaching. And now the leader of the Proud Boys is in the list of ICE agents that a whistleblower just leaked.

We truly need to recenter human dignity in all of our practices of law and “order.”

As a rural progressive, I see wisdom in some of this analysis of the exasperation felt by many of us. This primary season I hope technocrat Dems & those loyal to incumbents approach debates abt candidates w/open minds instead of “Oh, so you want Trump to win”. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/o...
