No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Luttig: It doesn’t matter what the Supreme Court does from this point forward. For two years, the Supreme Court has authorized the absolute lawlessness and unconstitutional activity of this president.

She is an inspiration

Yes, the broligarch has worked to suppress the distribution of truth in news

Here in Illinois, we’re making sure that we have the evidence and records needed to pursue justice to its fullest extent against Donald Trump’s administration.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

In Minneapolis and many other communities across the country, we're seeing people come together to peacefully protest and support their neighbors. If you're looking to get involved, here are some ways to help:

Here’s a useful reminder of what our federal courts SHOULD be doing to uphold our constitutional traditions:

If Congress doesn’t act, the last nuclear arms control treaty between the U.S. and Russia will expire. It would pointlessly wipe out decades of diplomacy, and could spark another arms race that makes the world less safe. This piece is worth the read.

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.

The First Amendment is a foundational promise to every American: Each of us has the freedom to speak, to report, and to hold those in power accountable without fear of retribution or retaliation.

AOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.

Illinois’ public universities have reached a 10-year high in enrollment. Thanks to the investments we’ve made in education, we’re fostering world-class talent and the next generation of leaders. It’s a win for our schools, our businesses, and our state.

Illinois is joining the World Health Organization's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network. I refuse to sit by as Donald Trump undermines science and weakens our nation's ability to detect and respond to global health threats.

Even if you do usually vote Republican, most of us can agree at this point that the administration has gone way, way too far.

6x #Grammy winning artist Bad Bunny will take California’s stage — and the world stage — this Sunday. California could not be more proud.

You can’t spend time with real people and not feel their pain. Donald Trump doesn’t understand that. Today, I learned of a woman who was too scared of going to the doctor for fear of being racially profiled. Imagine what's going on across the rest of the United States.

Met with community leaders to hear directly how immigration enforcement is tearing apart families and destabilizing neighborhoods. I won't back down from Trump’s reckless immigration agenda, and I will continue calling out his chaos and lies. California WILL protect its people.

Watch closely: Donald Trump is plotting to rig the midterms. In just the past 2 weeks, his AG demanded that Minnesota turn over voter rolls, his DNI raided 2020 election ballots in Georgia, & he called to 'nationalize' our elections. We must mobilize to protect our democracy.

Donald Trump invites Americans to believe there’s no money left to make health care affordable while he spends billions of taxpayer dollars to hire masked ICE & Border Patrol agents to intimidate, attack, arrest & even kill our people. Mr. President, we reject these authoritarian priorities.

America sees the brutal violence ICE and Border Patrol are inflicting on our people and won’t allow it to continue. Trump and Noem underestimate the American people—as they say in Minneapolis, “We’ve got eyes/so stop your lies.”

BREAKING: Lithuania has launched a human trafficking investigation related to Epstein files

Crockett: "Now my colleagues want to be the protectors of girls & women. I didn't hear them screaming this when Renee Good was killed in the middle of the street by the same people the vast majority of you just voted to give more money to. It was a lot of crickets, including about the Esptein files"

But they actually do seem to care if he’s a pedophile

Paris prosecutors raid the French offices of Elon Musk’s X as part of an investigation into spreading child pornography and deepfakes.

Of course

A federal judge late on Monday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from ending a humanitarian protection for more than 350,000 Haitians, who have been able to live and work in the U.S. under what is known as Temporary Protected Status, or TPS. Here's what to know.

The economic war the Trump administration unleashed against India last summer came to an abrupt end on Monday with a pair of social media posts from President Trump and then India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi. Here's what to know.

Breaking News: The police searched the French premises of Elon Musk’s X as part of a yearlong cybercrime investigation into the company.

What did he say for himself

Believe your own eyes. Nothing about this is normal. Trump and his goon squad are trying to undermine a fundamental principle of our democracy: free and fair elections.

Thank you, Molly!

The Supreme Court appears poised to gut the Voting Rights Act in a case that could end protections against minority vote dilution throughout the nation. This isn’t just about how congressional district lines get drawn, it's about undermining democracy.

Welcome home, Liam!

February is a time to honor the generations of Black Americans who fought, and continue to fight, against injustice to achieve equal rights. May we reflect on our nation’s past as we continue working to build a society that lives up to its democratic ideals.

Immigrants can’t vote unless they have become American citizens.

I haven’t seen it. I hope you don’t, either. But let's be real about what's going on here. My purpose today is less to highlight this inane excuse for a film than to talk about its real excuse. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/melania-the-film-the-shame

Just want to say thank you to everyone who showed up for ICEOUT this weekend. All across the country (from small towns to big cities) people came out, even in the freezing cold. A lot of this was organized by everyday people in their own communities, and that matters.

The death of Alex Pretti has been ruled a homicide, the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office said. Pretti was shot Jan. 24 during a chaotic encounter with federal immigration officers in Minneapolis. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez were named as the two officers who fired at Pretti.

It's time for action to be taken against ICE and CBP agents committing unlawful acts against Chicagoans. Since State's Attorney Eileen O'Neill Burke won't act, I'm asking the Court to appoint a special prosecutor who will. unraveledpress.com/cook-county-...

Law enforcement cannot be lawless. Thousands of aggressive, untrained agents of the federal government continue to injure and terrorize Minnesotans. This must end. apnews.com/article/immi...

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers. And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate. Today it roars in Minneapolis and around the country — at the jack-booted thugs occupying our cities.

Agree 💯% With Bad Bunny......
