MMWR published a report in 1981 about five men with unusual cases of pneumonia in Los Angeles. In retrospect, it was the first publication to detect and inform the wider scientific community of the presence of HIV.

Last night, everyone working on MMWR was fired.

CBS parent company Paramount canceled Colbert to win approval from Trump's FCC to merge with Skydance.

Now ABC parent company Disney suspends Kimmel as it seeks DOJ approval to buy Fubo — and its affiliate Nexstar seeks FCC approval to buy Tegna.

See how this works?

SCOOP: ICE Revoking Students’ Immigration Statuses Without Their or the University’s Knowledge “Never seen something like this,” say university officials about the secret targeting of Middle Eastern students.

SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning.

It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education?

Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power.

Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

AOC Rips “Tyrannical and Un-American” Arrest of Mahmoud Khalil Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a serious warning about the ICE arrest of Palestinian activist (and U.S. green card holder) Mahmoud Khalil.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex condemned ICE’s detainment of Mahmoud Khalil, calling it a “tyrannical” move.

“If the federal government can disappear a legal US permanent resident without reason or warrant, then they can disappear US citizens too."

The White House, not even DHS, the White House itself apparently, is directly deciding which permanent residents should be detained and deported based on their political speech.

If this doesn’t scare you about the state of our democracy and liberties, I don’t know what will.

It's a kind of coup, for sure. One we're not used to, and haven't experienced before, but it's definitely in the vicinity of a coup. An unelected billionaire literally taking over our government and our data and our secrets.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
