“Greenland appears to have been a lifelong preoccupation of Adolf Hitler’s,” Timothy W. Ryback writes. After creating an economic mess with ill-advised tariffs and trade policies, Hitler looked north in pursuit of resources and national security:

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Jon Stewart expressed many common misconceptions about what economists believe. We are not market absolutists. Long have we called for environmental regulations. Another John Stuart (Mill) called the environment the "inheritance of the human race, there must be regulations."

The billionaire owner of a bridge connecting Michigan with Canada met Howard Lutnick, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, on Monday hours before President Trump lambasted a competing span.

Breaking news: A federal grand jury refused the Justice Department’s attempts to indict six Democratic lawmakers over their comments to military service members — the latest rebuke of the Trump administration’s push to prosecute the president’s foes.

People diagnosed with cancer during 2020 and 2021 were more likely to die from cancer within a year of diagnosis. The Trump administration cuts to science makes us even more vulnerable to the next pandemic. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Trump’s petty and pathetic decision to illegally withhold funding for Gateway is undermining union jobs, the American economy, and the safety and economic wellbeing of the hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans that rely on this critical infrastructure every day.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home. But did you look at the judge's order? It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept." Link to pdf: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If you get pepper-sprayed, avoid rubbing your eyes. Instead, irrigate them with lots of water, says Dr. Trisha Pasricha, our Ask a Doctor columnist.

This is at least $218K per year, per Guard personnel. For each set of boots on the street there are support personnel, only increasing the cost. Here in DC we see them pacing on the streets. War is expensive.

Bruce Springsteen released a new song, “Streets of Minneapolis,” on Wednesday in response to two fatal shootings by federal immigration enforcement agents in the city this month.

“He was a calm presence amid hospital chaos. A mentor who taught kindness and patience to younger friends and colleagues. A singer with a knack for dancing. A bicyclist who treasured the beauty of Minnesota… He was the kind of nurse patients remembered, colleagues said, and he was a beloved mentor”

I didn’t end up getting my RN and working cardiac cath lab, which had been my idea; a different path opened for me. But I’m still in solidarity with this awesome union I’d belong to in the alternate timeline version of me

Alex Pretti was already restrained when federal agents shot and killed him in Minneapolis, a New York Times analysis of video shows. The footage contradicts the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the shooting.

Yes, this is an excellent job by Dana Bash, on @cnn.com State of the Union,, with the openly fascist Bovino.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home! Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

This MLK Day, I'm thinking of Dr. King and the civil rights leaders who fought for years, without knowing how their story would end. I will always fight to protect our rights and democracy and ensure every Minnesotan can live with dignity, safety, and respect. No exceptions.

Coretta Scott King wasn't just a grieving widow who picked up a mantle. She was already an effective strategist and activist who wrote the blueprint for our survival. And she reminded us that freedom is never really won — you have to earn it and win it in every generation.

Union nurses are thrilled to be at the @aflcio.org Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Civil and Human Rights Conference with @lizshuler.bsky.social! Learning from, celebrating, and building on Dr. King's radical legacy is critical for our fight for a just and healthy future for all. ✊

A deportation plan that wreaks havoc on every level, hurting immigrant and U.S.-born workers.

Nurses are on Capitol Hill today to flex our nurse advocacy muscle! 💪🏛️ We talked to our reps about the threat RFK Jr. poses to public health, how NIOSH protects nurses, union rights for federal workers, and the danger of recategorizing nursing as a non-professional degree.

McBride: Look, people are clutching their pearls at this guy yelling something at the president. They are more offended by a worker standing up to the president and calling him out for his hypocrisy than they are by the president trying to cover up for a human trafficking ring

Nurses are celebrating 🎉 24 years 🎉 as the most honest & ethical profession! In the face of Trump's attacks on public health, immigrants, and trans people, nurses have taken this trust to heart and stood up fiercely for our patients. And we will continue fighting for you.✊❤️

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence. In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home.

This woman is harder than goddamn steel dealing with these goddamn thugs. I want her to be my neighbor.

We're facing a nurse staffing crisis because hospital administrators intentionally understaff units to increase their bottom line — and people aren't willing to work in these awful and dangerous conditions.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

2,500 nurses at Maine Medical Center won a new contract this week! 🎉 Here's what they're celebrating: ❌ Workplace violence protections, 👥 Safe staffing, 🥪 Increased meal break coverage, and ✊ Gains on the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee.

How much has ICE officer training deteriorated under Trump? New deportation officers at ICE used to receive about 5 months of training; Academy training has now been shortened to just 47 days, a number "picked because Trump is the 47th president." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

US policy on protests in Iran somewhat different from policy on protests in US: “On Friday, the US repeated that killing protesters would be met with a military response.” www.bbc.com/news/article...
