If you’re still calling them 'detention centers,' you’re ignoring the price tag. They are for-profit concentration camps, and their only growth metric is how many human beings they can cage for profit.

It's been a brutal two weeks in Chicagoland with ICE pointing guns and tasers, multiple car crashes, violent arrests and a significant uptick in detainments overall. Feds continue to stalk courthouses across multiple counties. Today, agents were also seen at the rideshare lots at O'Hare.

🚨ALERT: AIR RAID SIRENS ACTIVATED IN BAHRAIN. The war continues to escalate.

🚨 ALERT: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says it has launched strikes on “enemy bases in the area” following reported U.S. attacks on Sirik and Qeshm Islands, according to IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News. Tensions in the region are escalating rapidly as military action continues to expand.

Remember the current NIH director going on about protecting researchers from government censorship? Today his people called the police in to forcibly remove my colleagues from their own society meeting for sharing an editorial published in their flagship journal that was critical of him. Gift link

NEW YAWK, NEW YAWK (damn, Wemby never gonna live down that pass to his teammate's back) #ETTD

One year ago today (Musk later deleted this post.)

I will never get over being told men are protectors when it’s always been men that have created or put me in danger and only women who have ever offered help.

As @gregpak.net pointed out, this man is one of the most destructive in this admin with worldwide & longterm ramifications. I also want people to stop acting like he's just "stupid" or doing things for no reason. His reason is eugenics & wellness grifts.

Trump claims MLB “sort of has” a salary cap (no), then in the next breath claims “I know so much about sports”

Real Patriotic millionaires would brag about paying slightly higher taxes like it was their dick size.

For anyone that thinks Hunter Biden is a dummy, here he took a guy to the woodshed and gave him a paddlin’

“As a taxpayer, I’m concerned about it,” the official said. “But as a professional who always has to claw for money to do just basic missions, I just look at that cost and think, how much more of X, Y and Z could we have bought if not for that?”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s decision to bring six of his children on an official trip to France is putting added strain on his personal protective detail amid heightened threats stemming from the Iran war.

"...Now is the time to recognize and fight to reverse the spiraling fall of the United States of America’s status as the foremost nation in health care innovation."

"...as the foremost nation in health care innovation. As a nation, we must continue to believe in ensuring better health for all. It is no longer enough to stand idly by or work behind the scenes with lawmakers. Moreover, it is no longer appropriate to fret about political backlash..."

"It is no longer enough to stand idly by or work behind the scenes with lawmakers. Moreover, it is no longer appropriate to fret about political backlash. Now is the time to recognize and fight to reverse the spiraling fall of the United States of America’s status...

"We also request that all organizations established to ensure the health and welfare of U.S. citizens clearly and loudly make their voices heard and declare their alarm about what is happening at HHS..."

"...We call on all concerned citizens of our beloved country to contact their congressional representatives to declare their alarm about what is happening at HHS."

"There is an urgent need for all of us to bring attention to these destructive processes and halt them before the ongoing and proposed dissolution and destruction of critical components of our biomedical research infrastructure are completed. Enough is enough!..."

"The actions of the Trump administration are reducing opportunities for NIH to implement and fund multicenter consortia, specialized research centers, and large networks and to conduct long-term, sustained programs to address complex issues, including those in diabetes..."

"These radical modifications have included a marked reduction in the NIH workforce, changes in medical advisory councils, a reduction in published notices of funding opportunities, and an ill-advised multiyear funding policy."

"We have been witnessing significant changes imposed on NIH since the start of this administration. The changes seem to be accelerating and occurring across the whole of NIH, without exception, thus impacting biomedical innovation in diabetes care and across every disease."

Excellent editorial in today's Diabetes Care charing scientists to engage and speak up and act now. I could not agree more! diabetesjournals.org/care/article... Some highlights: 🧵1/10

This is the editorial that the physicians were sharing at the American Diabetes Association conference To appease the MAGA/MAHA Administration, the ADA called the cops to get the physicians removed These physicians are heroic If you can’t speak out & condemn authoritarianism NOW, then when?

🚨ALERT: Kuwait says its air defense systems are actively intercepting hostile missile and drone attacks from Iran

Donald Trump is lying about California elections, threatening criminal prosecutions and this is what WaPo writes. Let's be honest: Legacy media is broken, it is compromised and failing us. Support pro-democracy independent media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

FFS...I am continuously amazed at just how many people are truly spineless when it comes to this administration. Self censoring to appease narcissistic megalomaniacs does nothing but embolden them.

ADA is shady. Lie to donors about how funds are spent. Accused of accepting corporate money in exchange for promoting unhealthy recipes…and now this. The two main players, James Tai (chairman of board of directors) and Charles Henderson (ceo).

I don't even think you can say the misogyny is subtextual at this point. It's just the text

Its starting.

"By nationality, I'm Venezuelan," Andry Hernandez Romero told me. "But in my heart, I'm American." He is the gay makeup artist Trump sent to the CECOT torture prison in El Salvador. Andry is in Spain now, rebuilding his life and haunted by his experience. www.advocate.com/news/andry-h...

he still sees himself as American. Despite everything, EVERYTHING, this government and this nation did to him, he sees the strangers and neighbors who rallied to his side because it was RIGHT, and he chooses to believe in that America. He looks at America and sees HOME.

"Pelley was not uncivil. He didn’t threaten anyone. He didn’t curse or scream. He was professionally disagreeable. Which is basically the job description for journalists. It’s the job description that Weiss herself wrote. She just didn’t mean it."

Dear Farmers of America, He’s not going to help you. Why? He doesn’t care about your plight at all. He’s talking about men’s hot bodies. Y’all sick of his BS yet? Vote better. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #Pinks #SheShed

Apparently Susie Wiles was vehemently opposed to appointing Pulte as DNI, and will now quit because Trump is insulting her by refusing to listen to her well founded opinion of such a terrible appointment. If this happens, the WH Trump Train comes off the rails. www.rawstory.com/susie-wiles-...

Amid all the hand-wringing about progressives not having a compelling vision of masculinity, it strikes me that being a good dad has never been more liberal/left-coded in the US than it is today.

I’m pretty sure there are millions of New Yorkers who would beg to differ. You’ve seen NYC protests…multiply that times 1,000. @governor.ny.gov what are your thoughts? #SheShed #I♥️NY www.forbes.com/sites/alison...

More than ever, California needs our voices and our values. To the people and the voters of California, this is your state. Este es tu estado. We will not be bought. We will not be bullied. And we are never backing down.

Good job editors for being clear this is happening under Censorship Jay.

The DOGE official who allegedly wanted to falsify SSA data is Jon Koval, a VP at Valor Equity, which was founded by Antonio Gracias, one of Musk’s oldest friends... 1/

To put this into context: there are athletes on both teams who could not afford to enter the building if they weren't literally playing in the game.

Game 3. (via @espn.com)

I mean what could go wrong with with Trump & Vought running things. 🙄 The destruction by these evil thugs is purposeful & relentless. They are burning America to the ground while looting every cent for themselves. But why wouldn’t they, nobody stops them. Laws & rules no longer exist.
