ICE tear gassed people who were stuck in their vehicles because ICE blocked the intersection.

They were not even protesters. They were just stuck there due to ICE blocking them. As the helpless car passengers watched, ICE, unprovoked, began firing gas canisters upon the cars.

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Concerned family member? An abusive partner? Someone interested in the Texas bounty on women? Afraid she might be bleeding - but search cameras nationwide for a month? What a chilling display of misused access, along with disregard for women.

Uh guys? NBC just found out a DHS staffer accidentally added a journalist to an email thread about an ICE raid in Denver. Yeah, a completely separate incident.

How to Think (and Act) Like a Dissident Movement AOC, solidarity, and people power.

1) JVL’s Law: Any institution not explicitly anti-Trump will eventually become useful to Trump.

2) Stop viewing political life through the lens of American politics as we have known it, and adopt the viewpoint of dissident movements in autocratic states. www.thebulwark.com/p/how-to-thi...

Trump’s FBI Moves to Criminally Charge Major Climate Groups The Trump administration is targeting climate organizations that received a Biden-era grant.

Among the groups under investigation: Habitat for Humanity. Everytime I think it cannot get more hurtful and absurd, I don't have to look far.
Get loud, do not comply early, resist.

Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand are my senators😑 I left a final voicemessage with Gillibran's office. Can't get through to any Schumer offices. I encourage my other NY citizens to demand some townhall meetings for next week to hear how the Democrats will take action.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

As government offices at all levels reel from changes, start getting your paperwork in place to prove your identity and citizenship. This is especially important for women who have chan g ed their names. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...
