This is one of those subtle ways systemic racism shows up y’all. It sounds innocuous right? Gotta be clean shaven in the military so if you can’t do that well you gotta go. But this isn’t innocuous. Because Black men are the largest group of military members that get what’s called a shaving profile.

NEW: We’ve documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.

ICE claims officers use a “minimum amount of force.”

You can judge for yourself.

This needs as much coverage as protests or ICE raids. Los Angelenos FTW. ❤️🙌

Nat Guard/DHS threw tear gas canisters and smoke grenades into the crowd. Protesters and media hit. Pellet rounds deployed. All to seemingly clear path for a convoy of DHS/Border Patrol vehicles. I got hit but fine after an eye rinse.

Jay Bhattacharya & Russ Vought are taking $566 million in NIH funding from my state (we are #2 in terminated grants)

The impact will be truly horrific, but these 2 men will rejoice 😡

Bhattacharya took $129 million from Duke’s HIV vaccine development efforts: www.dukechronicle.com/article/2025... 🤬

Prosecutor Suggests Miscarrying Women Call the Cops to Protect Themselves From Criminal Charges "I don't think you need to be a co-writer on Law & Order SVU to think about why that is a not so great idea," one reproductive justice advocate told Jezebel.

A West Virginia prosecutor said Friday that while *he* doesn’t want to investigate women for miscarriages, his colleagues are discussing it. He suggested people protect themselves by self-reporting pregnancy losses to police or a doctor.

Why this is a horrible idea, feat @ifwhenhow.bsky.social

Where J.D. Vance Gets His Weird, Terrifying Techno-Authoritarian Ideas Yes, Peter Thiel was the senator’s benefactor. But they’re both inspired by an obscure software developer who has some truly frightening thoughts about reordering society.

I laid out most of this last July — and I was late to the game! Going forward, I hope journalists pay closer attention to the bizarre ideologies bubbling up out of the dark corners of Silicon Valley. When backed by tech billionaires, they become dangerous.

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

"You read books, eh?" A 1949 red scare Herblock cartoon about pressures on teachers that hits hard once again.

Oh my god the bear is espresso ice so the coffee gets stronger as he melts

"The  easiest way, logistically, is just go after people who are following the rules. They’re the easiest to just snatch up when they come into the office"

The Trump administration cut federal funding for a research project at Cornell University aimed at developing a heart pump designed for babies and children with congenital heart defects bringing the effort to a halt.

More details are emerging as Rep. Joaquin Castro meets with the deported family of the 11yo U.S. citizen girl in Mexico.

That’s not law enforcement—it’s abuse.

They don't need a warrant A federal kidnapping in Worcester

When they say "America first," they don't mention that this means America will be first among nations in preventable deaths.

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.

Read that back.

Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

Audre Lorde, lesbian mother poet radical badass Text: YOUR SILENCE WILL NOT PROTECT YOU

So many Americans missed the History of Resistance class and it makes me endlessly grouchy.

Tweet showing a protest-style sign on a city street that reads, “We are officially living out the part of history that makes school kids ask, WHY DIDN’T ANYONE DO ANYTHING TO STOP THEM?”

You are here.

Nothing says "we're the party of small government that's trying to stamp out government waste" like having US Attorneys investigate the editorial practices of academic journals read by a few thousand people.

Hundreds of Students at Military Base Schools Walk Out to Protest Trump Administration’s Anti-Diversity Policies The walkouts, which included about a dozen schools on U.S. military bases in Europe, Asia and at least one stateside, represent the biggest collective action military children have taken since the sta...

Remember that faculty already have to share reports of their research to university management for routine performance evaluations. This is about something else.

Opinion | Trump’s Gulag Archipelago (Gift Article) Trump is seeking to establish a truly chilling proposition: that no one can stop his administration from imprisoning anyone it wants, anywhere in the world.

"If the government can disappear any people it wishes, dump them in a Salvadoran dungeon and prevent any court in this country from providing relief, we all should be very, very afraid."

Perfect distillation of the hypocrisy of the “defending women” claim

🚨 NIH quietly reinstated a grant on gender-affirming care, hoping it'd save top officials from sitting for depositions.

It didn't work.

On 4/22, Memoli will sit for sworn testimony. Today: Michelle Bulls, who's signed many termination letters. Tomorrow: fmr extramural research chief Liza Bundesen.

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.

We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.
