Who would have guessed that sending masked unidentified people out with weapons and a mandate to abuse people would lead to copy-cat wrongdoing? I'm shocked. ttps://www.wired.com/story/fbi-warns-of-criminals-posing-as-ice-urges-agents-to-id-themselves/

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

Two federal judges rule at almost the same time. @bloomberg.com #SNAP www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Fifteen Democratic New York elected officials were arrested at a federal building in Manhattan while seeking access to an ICE holding facility — the latest clash between Democratic officials and immigration authorities.

I am just going to assume that anyone who is opposed to releasing the Epstein files is in them.

Well said.

Julio González Jr., released last week from the Terrorism Confinement Center, said he was beaten, robbed of thousands of dollars and denied a lawyer. “I practically felt like an animal,” González told The Post.

Take your masks off ICE, show us how proud you are adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

This is why healthcare is too expensive. "Here’s a wild-but-true factoid: 10 of the 20 largest companies on the new Fortune 500 list derive profit from the 340B program. I guess you can’t throw off tens of billions of profits without titans of industry figuring out how to get their hands on it."

If approved, the move would be the first time Guard troops at the national level have been asked to assist in the removal of migrants in the U.S. without legal status.

Happy to share our new paper by Dr. Deborah Johnson @lindachalgunseth.bsky.social and I on the revolutionary work of Dr. Cynthia García Coll! We ❤️ you Cynthia! Thanks to @fcd-us.bsky.social for supporting this work! Read it here: www.fcd-us.org/wp-content/u...

ICE says it is investigating the cause of death of 44-year-old Marie Ange Blaise in a Florida detention center on Friday. A local congresswoman says Blaise had complained of chest pains "for hours."

They make it sound like there are millions of dead people getting Social Security checks. But it's just not true.

Can anyone recommend a good child development textbook that does a good job considering cultural influences? Thank you in advance!

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about strikes in Yemen to a second unclassified Signal group chat that included his wife and brother, people familiar with the matter said. nyti.ms/4jBQ1wV

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

So true.

Can't wait for the Pachanga on Fri May 2nd at 7:30pm!

Who is going to the SRCD LC Pre-Conference?!?!?!?

@lobdirectory.bsky.social hopefully we can get our FB members to come over :)

News Analysis: In the first month since he returned to power, President Trump has demonstrated once again a brazen willingness to advance distortions, conspiracy theories and outright lies to justify major policy decisions.

Dan Bongino, a former New York City police officer and Secret Service agent turned right-wing pundit and podcaster, will be the next deputy director of the FBI, President Trump said on Sunday night.

The judge had issued a temporary restraining order against an administration plan to freeze payments for grants and other federal programs, but says the administration has not been fully complying.

Got a 2% on an R01 to follow up on this study but now I have no idea if it will ever actually be funded by NIH 😐 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

why are they treating Canada like we're dodgier than Putin's Russia?

A small plane crashed into a road in São Paulo, Brazil, around 7:20 a.m. local time Friday, killing both people on board and injuring several people on the ground, the city’s fire department said.

There's widespread confusion and fear among scientists and doctors on the sprawling National Institutes of Health campus and at institutions dependent on the agency's funding.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency

🧪NSF reexamines existing awards to comply with Trump’s directives Normal operations have been disrupted as staff look for offending words - www.science.org/content/arti...

I am one of these NSF postdocs. NSF has frozen everyone’s access to their salaries and research stipends (that were already awarded) with no information about when they might be expected to be unfrozen. It still appears like we are expected to continue doing our work though.

“If the freeze is not stopped, I might lose my house." Some NSF-funded postdocs are having trouble paying rent and credit card bills because their salaries were paused this week, even though the federal funding freeze memo was rescinded. www.statnews.com/2025/01/30/t...
