Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

“Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic”

But, of course that happened 😡

The innocence of Abrego Garcia, Merwil Gutiérrez, and an estimated 90% of the people sent to El Salvador proves this was never about “criminals”.

It’s about racism.

It’s about state terror.

It’s about dehumanization.

Fascism takes hold when people stay silent. It’s up to all of us to speak up.

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

CRAWFORD: “Wisconsin stood up and said justice does not have a price, our courts are not for sale.”

It’s stunning to me that the New York Times did not put the story on the bloodbath at the NIH, CDC, and FDA on its front page this morning.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

That was fast! Have some extra cheese on us, Wisconsin 💪🏽 🧀

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

YouTube video by Associated Press LIVE: Cory Booker speaks on the Senate floor

A Black man just beat the record for the longest filibuster, defeating the record previously held by a man who filibustered the literal Civil Rights Act.

As the time ticked over, Cory Booker announced he did it not out of hatred for who he opposed, but out of love for those who supported him.

Excited for a recent opp partnering w/h McMurray Middle in MNPS to lead an interactive session on identity & belonging with their entire student body & staff! Middle is where it’s at! Shout out to EP Coverson & AP Battle for leading an awesome body of learners & prioritizing a culture of belonging!

The many triumphed over the money in Wisconsin's Supreme Court election yesterday.

Can we permanently put to rest the myth that a businessman knows more how to manage the economy? Or do we have to wait for our economy’s collapse for some among us to grasp it?

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.

I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

WATCH: “Even Libertarians have reached out about this.”

As Lowell Russell & TN Republicans move to give police even more immunity and block citizens from suing for damages, @brotherjones_ calls him out for reading talking points.

18 years ago today I lost my sweet son, and a piece of my heart forever. Thankful for the 15 years we walked together on this earth & the eternity we will spend together on the other side. Missing him today more than usual.

Horrific

Germans who turned a blind eye to Hitler's fascism and atrocities came to be called "Good Germans."

I don't ever want to be known as a "Good American." I want to be known as an American who did good by standing up to fascism and atrocities.

I had to compose myself before posting—because this breaks a part of my soul.

If you’re a contractor with a segregation policy, say it loud—so non-white dollars don’t fund your business. It won’t go how you think.

And if anyone uncovers businesses doing this, put them on blast.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle “Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.

Excited to be the guest speaker today at Trevecca Nazarene University with doctoral candidates in educational leadership.

Topic: How to intentionally create spaces of success, opportunity, and belonging in school communities.

Indeed.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

Picture of police guarding a Tesla dealership.

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

Yaaaaaaasss!

Former First Lady Michelle Obama and her brother, Craig Robinson, are launching a new weekly podcast, "IMO."

Love this!
