This 4-year-old's heart is failing. A federal grant that might help him was canceled
A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.
An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it.
Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities โ including the grant for this device.
The cruelty is endless. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Ah yes, the absolute imperative to coddle the stormtroopers while they zip tie a pre-schoolers hand behind their back. You can't say Stephen Miller is devoid of emotion. Just devoid of the ones the create a sustainable society.

"If you can't see that since we've taken office, there's been an organized, systemitized campaign to delegitimatize, dehumanize, threaten, impede, obstruct, & physically assault immigrants & US citizens of color, then I can't persuade you of it."

The image is an X post by Mike Nellis (@MikeNellis
) from 19 hours ago, stating: "So let me get this straight: a Blackhawk helicopter and dozens of masked, armed federal agents roll up on a Chicago apartment building, cuff everyoneโincluding kidsโand then run checks for warrants and immigration status? What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?" The post includes a verified badge.
Narrator: This is fascism.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.
This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

We have seen that the world is exceedingly slow to react to human rights violations. And after decades of *U.S-perpetrated* human rights abuses, no one is going to rush to our aid. No one. We're on our own.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement.
Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

Judge Immergut quotes James Madison from the
Records of the Federal Convention of 1787: โA standing
military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The
means of defence [against] foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at
home.โ

It's easy to see this speech as just weirdly performative, but there's a lot moreโand a lot worseโgoing on here.
The meeting & speeches are part of a larger project aimed at promoting the military leadershipโs partisan alignment with the administration.
