RFK Jr. ordered the NIH’s Integrated Research Facility in Frederick to stop all research on serious infectious diseases yesterday at 5:00 PM. They study pathogens like Ebola there. You may be familiar with it from The Hot Zone. www.wired.com/story/hhs-ni...

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

There was a flurry of news about tariffs. It passed. The real consequences will hit US consumers around Memorial Day. Important then to remind everyone of cause and effect.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

At issue is a case testing the reach of federal laws that promise special help for children with disabilities in public schools. Specifically: What do parents have to prove in order to get that specialized help?

Controversial take: I hate what the tariffs will do to folx who are struggling to get their needs met, AND if this results in all of us examining our overconsumption fetish, I won’t be sad. We don’t *need* gadgets and cheap clothing from the global south

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Musk’s staffers are now forcing federal employees at several agencies including the FAA to sign non-disclosure agreements. The goal is simple: silence the resistance through more threats and now, forced agreements. Maybe we’re not supposed to be talking about being forced to sign NDAs… oops, lol.

Everyone, hide the ketchup…👇 It’s going to get messy.

Friendly reminder to support your local independent bookstore this weekend! A slightly less friendly reminder to just not buy books from Am*zon at all.

The Interior Department announced late yesterday that it will fast-track approvals for coal, gas, oil, and mineral projects on public lands.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND AND A SUPERSTATUTE AND THE PRESIDENT CANNOT UNDO IT. sincerely, a constitutional law professor who also teaches employment discrimination

PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week. They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions. Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.

We shouldn't have to advocate for due process. He shouldn't be in El Salvador. He is an innocent man. Bring him home, expotentiously. Articles of Impeachment should be brought to the floor of Congress, DAILY...

Four House Democrats, Reps. Robert Garcia (Calif.), Maxwell Frost (Fla.), Maxine Dexter (Ore.), and Yassamin Ansari (Ariz.), are traveling to El Salvador to advocate for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was “mistakenly” deported to the country by the Trump administration.

Every time the Justice Department tries to claim the military isn’t actually banning transgender people, Pete Hegseth tweets that it is. This is likely to come up at oral arguments at the DC Circuit Court of appeals — conveniently scheduled for tomorrow.

Never seen it framed this way by all recent elections Wild

Odd, how the United States doesn't have enough money to give sick veterans healthcare, impoverished seniors Social Security, or hungry schoolkids lunches, but it does have enough money to pay a Central American dictator millions to torture American residents in his brutal concentration camp.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

Musk has placed the entire staff of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) on administrative leave.
