NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

I was a UC PPFP fellow when I was a postdoc at UCSD. This program is invaluable--aside from support for two years of my postdoc, I received excellent mentoring from faculty at the UCs. This fellowship set me up for success and gave me a cohort of fellow postdocs who are now UC faculty. 1/2

This is my son’s soccer teammate. This is heartbreaking to watch, no kid should go through this. I know his parents, they are good people. No family should endure this. The cruelty and evil actions of the trump administration and ICE are tearing families and communities apart.

Whatever else you think of him, I don't think he is insincere about this stuff, and it should be recognized as extraordinary that he, Pritzker, and other governors are talking about the federal government in these terms. It's not normal political rhetoric, it's the language of existential emergency.

Peer review wouldn’t be the same without #asbmbJBC's Gaetano Santulli, Susan Bellis, Birte Svensson, #asbmbJLR's Bill Griffiths, John Parks, Robert “Nate” Helsley, #asbmbMCP's @garcialabms.bsky.social & so many others!
