I voted today but it was the strangest experience… went to my normal place to vote and was told I now have to vote at another location. Cool. Went to that location and they β€œcouldn’t find me”. I pulled up my voter registration online and then they asked for my drivers license….then further proof

Trump Immigration Sweeps Spawn Underground Safe Houses In Springfield, Ohio, some Americans have converted their basements and spare bedrooms into shelters for immigrant families who could be targeted in raids.

More than 10,000 Haitians call Springfield, Ohio, home. Trying to protect their neighbors from immigration raids, some of the city’s residents have converted their basements and spare bedrooms into shelters for Haitian families who could be targeted by the Trump administration.

One of my friends had a fallout shelter in the back yard and a 'fun' game we played was at any moment, someone could yell "bomb!" and we would see how quickly we could make it to the shelter from anywhere else in the neighborhood.

Oh boy, the letter that the White House is about to receive from Dems is going to be so sternly worded, it will be game over.

It feels noteworthy that even one of the most bombastic companies in one of the most smoke-and-mirror-filled industries was still like β€˜Whoa, it’s not ready for THAT’.

Sam Altman picked a hell of a day to basically urge the world to trust the morality and legal restraint of the Department of Defense

All the rage just came right back to the surface with this announcement.

Most Americans manage to go their entire lives without worrying what's inside the pants of Boy Scouts and I'm simply asking Pete Hegseth to do the same

Since you’re the physics expert I feel like this really bolsters my belief.

Donald Trump’s plan to steal the 2026 midterm elections is already underway.

And he still has his lab and teaching duties. Columbia has no backbone.

So true. My advisor was sued by one of my coworkers the year after I left. She won but they paid out like 60k and nothing happened to him. Like someone else was saying here, we all have a mental list of who they are. I’ve been waiting two decades for this particular story to break.

I just heard from another Columbia classmate with a link to the Axel Epstein article saying β€œSo unsurprising. We all knew.”

This hit me harder than I would have expected given I wasn’t directly affected by him (by others yes). There’s some kind of trauma associated with knowing the institution that held sway over my life protected someone so abhorrent. My classmate who rotated in his lab left the program.

Here to lend support. Like I said, I wondered how many other women noticed and resented this. I know Nancy and I weren’t the only ones who did.
