Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone β€” period.

Today, Trump declared war on his own citizens, calling for U.S. cities to be used as β€œtraining grounds” for troops to confront what he called an β€œinvasion from within.” Americans are a proud people, and no one (foreign or domestic) will threaten our home.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are β€œused to it” but it is absolutely insane

The only flaw was calling him Hitler. He likes that. They should have said he looked old and feeble and was Putin’s bitch.

β€œDear Baby Jesus, we beseech you, to still the tongues of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his 'friend' and turn a blind eye if we are called upon to bear false witnessβ€”like denying identifiable signaturesβ€”as we unwelcome strangers, kill the sick, and take from the poor in your holy name.

When you live in a gerrymandered state, you can’t just vote better.

That’s the point of gerrymandering. To take away your vote and voice. To silence you.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

Just spoke with my CDC sources.

They said RFK Jr. has ordered officials to hide tuberculosis cases, even as three active TB cases were just reported in Maine. He’s also suppressing bird flu reports.

Pandemics don’t start with viruses they start with secrecy.

RFK Jr. must resign now!

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law.

May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

AI is already taking jobs away from entry-level workers Software and customer service are most at risk right now and could be the canary in the coal mine.

Remember, kids: A real big goal of "AI" is to entirely sever capital from labor, and no, there will be no universal basic income, you can all just starve and die, thanks

Little kids with brain cancer.

That’s who Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are screwing over by cutting health care.

RFK Jr.’s damage to the CDC is β€˜past the point of no return,’ Dr. Demetre Daskalakis warns β€œThe CDC you knew is over,” the infectious diseases doctor told The Advocate. β€œUnless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.”

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

Humble Book Bundle: Martha Wells' Murderbot and More by TOR Fall in love with Martha Wells’ The Murderbot Diaries seriesβ€”the engine behind the hit AppleTV adaptationβ€”and help support World Central Kitchen.

I love this so much. I just bought a bundle for my friend. What a great gift from @marthawells.com to the world, in more ways than one. @wck.org couldn’t be a worthier cause.

It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director β€” after only a few weeks on the job β€” for her commitment to public health & vaccines.

The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible.

Vaccines save lives. Period.

Hi, immunologist here:

(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)

RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can β€œsee in kids faces that they have inflammation”

That’s NOT how immunology works.

He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.
