From a miltiary post on Reddt..... 80 year old vet arrested at the capitol today for protesting against military force used on US citizens.

What lies beneath the alpine lakes of #Alaska?
Crystal-clear waters and surreal colors create an otherworldly scene. These lakes stay clean and untouched thanks to the cold temperatures and little human activity.

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.

Did You Work on a Terminated NIH Grant? ProPublica Wants to Hear From You. The National Institutes of Health is canceling grants that are seen as conflicting with the Trump administration’s priorities. We want to hear from researchers who have been affected.

🧪 #ScienceSky and #AcademicSky: We’re trying to learn more about the real-life scope and impact of the Trump administration terminating NIH grants.

Here's how you can help our reporting 👇

ANALYSIS | U.S. could lose democracy status, says global watchdog | CBC News Possibly defying a court order. Urging his Justice Department to prosecute nemeses. Repeatedly calling the media 'illegal.' Declaring a predecessor's pardon null and void. U.S. President Donald Trump ...

This entire article.

Just... yikes.

"If it continues like this, US will not score as a democracy when we release [next yr's] data," said head of Varieties of Democracy project...

"If it cont's like this, democracy [there] will not last another 6 mos."

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I’m an American and am completely horrified.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.

Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

Regardless of how much coverage it gets, Trump aiming to install a military command that places loyalty to him above loyalty to the constitution needs to be a much bigger story.

This is incredible reporting that must shock the conscience of each and every one of us.

Not going to brave the cold and I doubt Messi will play.

Trump administration firing hundreds of FAA employees despite four deadly crashes in four weeks President moves to cut Federal Aviation Administration workforce, including safety workers, as critics say public could be endangered

“The Trump administration has begun firing hundreds of employees at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), including some who maintain critical air traffic control infrastructure, despite four deadly crashes since inauguration day.”

Openly defining the rule of law as whatever he says it is. Happening right in front of us.

New tonight Elon Musk retweets a post contemplating DOGE or the Trump administration defy a court order imposed by a federal judge

“I don’t like the precedent it sets when you defy a judicial ruling, but I’m just wondering what other options are these judges leaving us”

Where are the alarms from the congressional leaders on this stuff? They have access to sensitive and potentially classified information likely without clearance.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.

We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.

Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

Senate needs to stand up for FBI agents and AUSAs. Trump is throwing these patriotic public servants under the bus to promote a false narrative about Jan 6 rioters.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

CITY OF NEWARK = "Today, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided a local establishment in the City of Newark, detaining undocumented residents as well as citizens, without producing a warrant. One of the detainees is a U.S. military veteran who suffered the indignity of having the legitimacy of his military documentation questioned. This egregious act is in plain violation of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees 'the right of the people be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures... "Newark will not stand by idly while people are being unlawfully terrorized. I will be holding a press conference in alliance with partners ready and willing to defend and protect civil and human rights. Details to come."

The Mayor of Newark says ICE detained citizens and a military veteran in a warrantless raid there today. www.newarknj.gov/news/mayor-r...

This isn’t a “seems like” or “appears to be” event…

It was intentional, deliberate, and unequivocal.

Rock Chalk!! ❤️🏀💙
