Make America Great Again

Seems like we have an unexpected vote for universal, government-run healthcare insurance?

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Time and again, Trump's agents are using excessive force that “shocks the conscience.” Just this week, they violently tore a teacher—with legal work authorization—from a preschool as children watched on in horror. I'm demanding investigations. Trump has gone too far.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Little known etymology of exododus: combines “exodus” which means a mass departure and “dodo” which is commonly used to denote someone who is foolish or dim-witted; together, the combined term references a… well we get the picture. Seems appropriate.

Obama 2028. We can play that game, too.

So good. youtube.com/watch?v=ksFr...

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

This sort of feels like the endgame for Western civilization: undermine places like Harvard while country clubs become universities, designed and run by MBAs for (future) MBAs. www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

Yet blue states provide more than their fair share of the government’s federal tax revenues. It’s welfare for red states. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

ICE are the worst of us.

Pfft. I remember when the 88-hour (80-hour for non-surgical residents) work week limit was introduced as an *improvement* www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

$40 billion dollars is the size of the entire NIH budget.

On October 18th, millions of brave Americans will stand up and peacefully protest against the authoritarian disease metastasizing under Donald Trump. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. @gtconway.bsky.social

A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.

@massgovernor.bsky.social Governor Healey’s posts have been milquetoast updates and bland commentary. Is this story true? Is there more to the story that makes it make sense? When do we say “No. Enough.”? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

These goons have no fear of consequences.

Goood news. MIT rejects Trump’s extortion attempt. Places like MIT are what make America Great. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

The damage we do to immigration and science now will have ripples decades in the future.

America. Land of the free.

This is the way.

This piece is also excellent: balkin.blogspot.com/2025/10/the-... "That’s the point of the compact... It is about control. Specifically it is about turning existing federal law, over which the administration has limited control, into terms of a “deal” that offers the government much more control."

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

MSF staff are universally understood to be engaged in an essentially sacred form of work. For a state to nonetheless continuously murder them is a testament to a truly unthinkable degree of depravity. msf.org/msf-denounce...

We may never truly realize the immense damage done to our scientific research communities. $4.5B in frozen or cancelled grants w/ nearly 150 impacted clinical trials: 138k pts enrolled/due to be enrolled 🤦🏽‍♂️ @rasushrestha.bsky.social @arghavansallesmd.medsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Children and teens who had a Covid reinfection had a doubling of #LongCovid risk (PASC) and a significant increase in many other adverse outcomes (Figure) www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

What if untreated fevers or stress hormones from unaddressed pain during pregnancy contributed to developmental problems, and Tylenol actually reduced that risk? At least that would be consistent with the data showing no difference +/- Tylenol use effect on autism.

Wouldn’t it be great if this movie were re-released in theaters to coincide with the White House UFC event? comicbook.com/movies/news/...

“I was fired for holding the line on scientific integrity. The stakes are not theoretical — we have already seen the largest [US] measles outbreak in more than 30 years, which claimed the lives of two children.” go.nature.com/4213aJO

The hospital director, arrested and tortured by Israel, has just seen his brother and other family members killed.

“They shot at and killed civilians, some of whom (including children) were holding makeshift white flags,” the report said. “Some children, including toddlers, were shot in the head by snipers.”

Time is a flat circle, nothing ever happens, etc

“All the extremist-related murders in 2024 were committed by right-wing extremists of various kinds, with eight of the 13 killings involving white supremacists and the remaining five having connections to far-right anti-government extremists.” www.adl.org/resources/re...

“I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” Charlie Kirk, 2023. He was wrong then. He’s still wrong.

Northern Ireland man from Lisburn kidnapped by Trump’s Ice raids because he “looked like a Mexican”. He had the correct visa, all his documents. He’s never been in trouble with police. Held in terrible conditions. A fellow captive couldn’t get his medication and dropped dead of a heart attack

And these are just the stories we hear about.

How long before our schools are teaching our kids the earth is flat?

Ronald Reagan explaining why tariffs don’t protect jobs, they destroy them and drag the economy down.

“Dr. Ashish Jha, dean at Brown University School of Public Health, added, “This is wacky, flat-earth, voodoo stuff.”” We all need to tell it like it is. The time of idiots and imbeciles like JFK Jr will eventually come to an end. Consider how you will look back and see yourself.
