They’re chasing quotas, not criminals!

The former head of Chicago’s immigration court, fired by Trump, is finally speaking out. A new lawsuit accuses the administration of unlawfully targeting documented immigrants who were already showing up to court, just so ICE could hit arrest quotas.

Imagine being disappeared in one dictatorship, making it to America, and then being disappeared again

Only Congress has the power to declare war and our elected officials must take that power back. Urge your senators to use their constitutional authority with the war powers resolution: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

Then do the same with your representative: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

This is an insanely reckless move with terrifyingly massive consequences, and it's happening without congressional approval.

Stop the needless, endless war.

No War With Iran

To every member of Congress tonight: We don’t need 200+ words. We need 3 sentences.

1. Trump’s strike on Iran was unauthorized & unconstitutional
2. Congress must reassert its war powers—immediately
3. I support the War Powers Resolutions in the House and Senate

No war with Iran. Full stop.

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

How stupid do they think we are?

Evangelicals are raised in a religion that demands they acquiesce to an authoritarian.

Whether it’s their father, their pastor, or their president — they are indoctrinated to submit.

RFK Jr. asks CDC for new measles treatment guidance amid his unfounded claims Kennedy claimed that drugs like budesonide and clarithromycin "have been shown very effective" for measles, but doctors say they don't fight the infection itself.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’

One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

A few months ago, a hacker got into UVA‘s payroll system and managed to steal my January paycheck. UVA and @uvalaw.bsky.social are refusing to reissue me my check and, as far as I know, have done nothing to fix the security lapses.

Why did Tommy Tuberville vote in Florida if he lived in Alabama? Election records show Tuberville voted in Florida after he says a homestead exemption puts his residency in Alabama.

Tommy Tuberville says his wife's homestead exemption established his residency in Alabama, but election records show both of them voted in Florida after that. And that's only the beginning.

My first postdoc was an NSF funded position at Harvard working with John Huchra on the 2MASS redshift survey - people in that same situation finishing their PhD right now presumably just lost their job.

Israel is currently starving at least 2 million people.

The UK government is demanding Israel allow food and aid to reach civilians in accordance with international humanitarian law. Meanwhile the Trump led US is intervening in favour of Israel to continue the mass starvation and cut of aid.

Your School House Rock moment...🤔

Such a horrible person.

Crockett: He wants there to be a portion of the budget that goes up to $1 trillion on the defense side. They have failed the very last seven audits. So why would they continue to get raises, which they always do. Yet we're going to hurt the most vulnerable amongst us.

RFK Jr. Orders Search for New Measles Treatments Instead of Urging Vaccination Decades of research have turned up no miracle treatment for measles, but studies show the M.M.R. shot is 97 percent effective in preventing the disease.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will direct federal health agencies to explore potential new treatments for measles as the U.S. faces its largest outbreak in 25 years. Experts fear the decision could have grave consequences, as studies show the existing vaccine is 97% effective in preventing infection.

Two airliners abandoned landing attempts at Washington’s Reagan National Airport on Thursday afternoon when an Army Black Hawk took a “scenic route” near the flight path and circled the Pentagon before landing at a military heliport.

NEA withdraws its $25K grant in support of Portland Playhouse’s production of Joe Turner’s Come and Gone

I serve on the board of the Portland Playhouse and I’ve expected that we’d get hit eventually. Joe Turner's Come and Gone by the great August Wilson is a wonderful piece of American art, but it’s not a surprise why the government would not see it that way.

Many Judges Choose Not to Recuse When Big Cases Intersect With Their Families’ Interests Ambiguous — and unenforced — recusal standards mean few checks and balances for top judges when cases involve their family members.

An examination of more than 1,200 federal judges and state supreme court justices turned up dozens of judges who chose not to recuse when facing potential appearances of impropriety involving familial financial connections.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.

She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.

This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

I’ve seen video of IDF bombing Nasser Hospital, where a friend of mine is on a humanitarian mission to treat patients.

My friend survived the bombing but a teen patient he treated and who was set to go home today was murdered.

Are you warmongers not tired and sick of this yet? This horror

Trump’s Not Just Attacking Law Firms. He’s Assaulting the Rule of Law. Defense lawyers are supposed to “zealously” look out for their clients. Trump wants them to watch their backs.

NEW: "There cannot be democracy where lawyers are punished and lambasted simply for engaging with the justice system in representing clients opposed to the present administration." Trump's attack on the rule of law:
