Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

This. Our politicians are so used to their position as sound bite jockey and I suspect that’s why they have been so ineffective at addressing this crises. Suddenly they are called to be people of action and they do not know how.

At this point, we are close to a tipping point of unrestrained violence. When concealed carry laws meet masked men pretending to be real agents…

And even if they don’t, even if they are living with everything he says, they deserve far more respect for their humanity than this man is capable of understanding.

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.

Can someone just start a taunt that Trump is too weak to make it happen? Reverse psychology this shit already and bring that poor man home.

Oh god.

This is what I’m fucking saying dude.

The oligarchs are suddenly realizing the Grifter grifted them, too. Metagrift, if you will.

Fucking. Right.

And in 2008 the government was actively trying to stem the bleeding. Now they hold the dripping knife …

I cackled with glee. Out loud. These are conservative judges being like “ah yeah no, this is several bridges too far”

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

And this was the framer’s intention. When the winds start to shift, Congress will try to cover their own asses. Interesting to watch it play out if I wasn’t sitting in the fucking middle of it.

News flash

This is a United States Senator MACK: I was laid off from HHS and now people aren’t getting social services, especially people with disabilities BANKS: You probably deserved it MACK: Why did I deserve it? BANKS: Because you look like a clown

When we're done with all of this, we should really get rid of: - the two party system - the presidency - the US Senate If we had a parlimentary, multi-party system, we could have elections in months to remove this clearly insane guy from office. Instead, we have to wait almost three years.

Booker behaves like a legend, we win the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, and my candidate hold on to mayorship. Plus my baby boy turned 23. Better than an okay day. But yet, the horrors persist. Florida is still a lost cause.

if this is for real, let's emulate that in USA. ASAP

Our economy is far larger than it was decades ago. Where have most of the gains gone? To the top. Any path forward must include a fight to restructure the economy toward more widely shared prosperity. This isn’t a blue state vs. red state phenomenon. It’s a class phenomenon.

What the actual fuck:

Signal-gate and the Social Security scandal show how tyranny works: the regime can do no wrong, and the people have no rights. They claim it wasn't classified info in the chat, but Goldberg can be prosecuted. DOGE doesn't want to disclose their workers names, but wants your social security info.

BREAKING: Bird flu spreads to mammals, fears of human transmission Highly pathogenic avian influenza, commonly called bird flu, has increasingly spread to mammals and infected hundreds of people, raising concerns that it may lead to human-to-human transmission and turn into a new pandemic.

Hold on, so Steve Witkoff was participating in the Signal group discussing war plans against Houthis while being physically in Moscow, perhaps even in the Kremlin? He met Putin late on March 13. Obviously the odds of Russia not compromising any device he would bring there are pretty slim.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

📌The biggest problem isn't that Pete Hegseth is an under-qualified moron who is texting our military secrets to our enemies like some 15-year-old, blackout drunk. The problem is there is an entire anti-American, bought-off political empire on the Right that simply doesn't give a shit anymore ...

If these men had any sense of honor, they would already have resigned. The fact that they are all still in their jobs is just as damning as their terrifying and lawless incompetence.

A bird flu pandemic is looming. The virus has jumped to a sheep in Yorkshire, proving it’s adapting. With every spillover, the risk of human transmission grows. Time is running out swift action is our only defense.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

UK Subs detained

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
