A Charlotte pastor said Border Patrol came into his church and arrested a father in front of his wife and kid. The folks were outside on the property cleaning up the yard when ICE started chasing after them. Some ran in the church thinking it's off limits to ICE. Apparently not.

This is wrong!

Today, thousands of people came out to events all across NYCβ€”picking up and handing out materials to defend their neighborhoods from ICE. There were whistles kits & know your rights cards. People went to hundreds of businesses hanging signs of solidarity. Incredible feat by @handsoffnyc.bsky.social.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Nero would be proud.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. β€οΈπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

And no. You do NOT need to RSVP for a No Kings protest.

Hell, we’d prefer if you didn’t register - or at least make a burner account if you want to help give organizers a crowd size estimate (for like, food and water).

If anyone is telling you have to register, they’re wrong. You do NOT have to.

A retired colleague and a younger cousin are joining me in this, so this campaign has cross generational appeal. RFKJ is a quack spreading deadly misinformation about vaccines and other public health issues. He is completely unqualified to lead HHS. #standupforscience @standupforscience.bsky.social

ICE Agent Caught on Camera Disguised as a Construction Worker The Intercept confirmed that a federal agent caught on camera wearing a hard hat and safety vest works for ICE.

He refused to say WHAT agency he worked for, and at the end, he THREATENED the person, saying β€œMore of my guys are coming and we’re going to take care of you.”

How Trump Killed Cancer Research Attempting to eliminate funding for certain kinds of β€œwoke” studies, the Trump administration erased hundreds of millions of dollars being used for cancer research.

What happens when you cancel hundreds of cancer research grants, halt trials, freeze funding, lay off thousands of employees at FDA, NIH, CDC?

You don’t just hurt science. You hurt the people - patients waiting for hope. This isn’t just politics. It’s life or death for millions.

After firing all 17 CDC vaccine advisors, Kennedy is turning evidence‑based medicine into a political target- now eyeing the USPSTF, which issues guidance on preventive care - e.g., cancer screenings.

The Administration Wants Military Women to Know Their Place Pete Hegseth seems to be on a mission to erase women from the top ranks of the U.S. armed forces.

Meanwhile… and yes, we see and hear and know we aren’t wanted. It oozes out of every pore of his skin. SecBro and his boys are already driving women out and keeping women away. Think it doesn’t matter? Wait and see. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

For the record, we’re at NIH, EPA, NASA, NSF now all with public statements against leadership. EPA has retaliated, placing hundreds on leave pending a bullshit investigation.

People working at scientific agencies signed up for one thing and are being told to do the opposite. They don’t like it.
