Such an eye-opening interview about the horrifying abuses of ICE. It’s definitely time to Abolish this agency.

Dutch talk-show host Lubach put together an absolutely savage takedown of Disney after they bowed down to the Trump administration to take Jimmy Kimmel off the air

He was a great actor and so much more. So sad to lose a tireless champion for the environment. R.I.P. Robert Redford.

MAGA RULES: - MAGA can say and do any horrible thing it wants, against anyone, at any time. - The majority has to bend the knee and take it, or else. - If the majority refuses, then the majority gets crushed Another word for this is fascism. We've seen it throughout history.

Washington Post fires its last remaining Black columnist in deference to the cynical Trumpian bid to leverage Kirk’s assassination into silencing critical voices. Shame on Bezos.

“Humanity is deaf to a symphony of grief and warning.”

🦠 New @nature.com study finds that respiratory viruses like flu & COVID can wake up dormant breast cancer cells in the lungs, triggering metastatic growth within days. This IL‑6‑driven inflammation correlated w/ higher metastasis & mortality risk in cancer survivors. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"The COVID pandemic began with a myth – that children are spared its ill effects. In contrast, many children were sick with COVID, and we now have a new chronic illness emerging." ~ Lawrence Kleinman www.rutgers.edu/news/study-s...

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

Tonight, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band opened their Land of Hope & Dreams Tour. Bruce launched this run of shows with three statements about the situation in the United States, with comments preceding his songs Land of Hope and Dreams, House of a Thousand Guitars and My City of Ruins.

🚨 Members of Congress have launched the bipartisan Public Lands Caucus to stop the public lands sell-off. Public lands belong to the American people, not to polluting corporations. Thank you @debbiedingell.house.gov @repraulruizmd.bsky.social and @repgabevasquez.bsky.social for your leadership! 👏

A stunning wildflower show is happening right now along the newly freed segment of the Klamath River, where native fish and wildlife populations are beginning to rebound in response to the recent removal of four dams.

Governor Newsom interviews 4 small business owners. Their stories bring home the immense stress, uncertainty, and crushing blows Trump's tariff craziness and policies are causing in small businesses, in personal lives, and in local communities. youtu.be/rb2Rz8BzEDQ?...

Sea otter in Chihuly-style waves (Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary) Sea otters are a keystone species. Where they thrive, so do kelp forests & the diverse marine ecosystems reliant on the kelp. All lives, including our own, hinge on the complex interdependence we have w/other species. 1/2

This 45 minute conversation with @hcrichardson.bsky.social took off. Glad people found it educational and hopeful. We discuss the twin sins of America's greed and racism that led to the creation and ascent of Trump, and how we can find a way forward. Hope it helps! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaFn...

The Nuremberg Trials would’ve been a lot easier if Nazis had taken selfies at their camps

look at this crooked punk mocking American laws. this guy's government is best known for human rights abuses and death squads. and now he says he has no control over the prison.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

The National Institutes of Health is responsible for developing the cures and treatments that save lives and prevent disease. (art by @toddalcott.bsky.social). Right now it is under siege and needs our help. 3/

Trump is also saying that the once the US has rounded up individuals, with minimal or zero due process, on whatever pretext they choose, they can send them out of the US to face torture, death, life imprisonment, slave labor or other fates that are unconstitutional or illegal in the US.

60 Minutes found that 90% of the immigrants sent to brutal prison in El Salvador had no criminal record. I cant stop thinking about them, worrying about them. This is so wrong. Why isnt everyone upset? Trump regime refuses to bring them back. Its just terrible.

America has never been more divided in my lifetime. I’m for the side that believes in the rule of law, science, reproductive rights, free & fair elections, secure war plans, not tanking the economy or illegally deporting American citizens. I can’t believe there’s a side that doesn’t.

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

It’s stunning to me that the New York Times did not put the story on the bloodbath at the NIH, CDC, and FDA on its front page this morning.

Listen, Broligarchy is not some cute synonym for oligarchy. It's genuinely different & WAY more dangerous. I'm a sociologist who's been studying the ultra-rich globally for 17 yrs, entering their world as an offshore wealth mgr. Published 2 books abt them. 🧵Broligarchs are distinct in 3 ways:

“The time for dignified silence has passed. The stakes are too high. The dangers too immediate. The damage already being done too severe. What we need now is not strategic restraint but moral clarity—the willingness to name what is happening & stand for the principles that make democracy possible.”

Maybe now people will listen to Sarah??? She's only been right about all of it.

The U.S. has actively dismantled the global disease-detection programs we all—including Americans—rely on to stay safe Today this administration’s short-sighted global health agenda got even even worse It’s ending its support for vaccine programs around the world Why?? 🧵

The Office of Long COVID Research and Practice will close as soon as this week, according to an internal HHS email obtained by Inside Medicine. This is the opposite of what you would do if you were genuinely interested in finding treatments for chronic diseases, as RFK claims.

Before the EPA existed:

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
