Republicans filed a lawsuit in Michigan to strip some Americans overseas—including military families—of their voting rights.

We are fighting back in the courts to protect the right to vote of the spouses of those who defend our nation.

📣 The #SAVEAct (aka Save America Act) is a #votersuppression bill. Fewer than 100 noncitizens have voted since 1982 (🧾 👇). If your vote didn't matter, the GOP wouldn't be trying to take it away from you. Make sure it dies in the Senate. Call your senators at (202) 224-3121 & tell them to VOTE NO.

If you live in a red state, you may not notice ICE raids, that's because local police depts signed up to help ICE and are doing the work for and with them. Are they getting warrants? Are they profiling you bet.

Don't be distracted by the noise; watch what they are doing to your rights while you stare at the screen.”

GOP Rep. Carter (GA): "We can't have a warrant every time"

You cannot be a "patriot" and be OK with lawlessness.

Black-and-white historical portrait of Constance Tipper, the pioneering English metallurgist and crystallographer. She is gazing directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and composed expression. Tipper has short, neatly styled dark hair parted on the side with soft waves framing her face. She wears a patterned blouse or dress with a high collar, evoking early-to-mid-20th-century professional women's attire. The soft lighting highlights her determined features against a plain, neutral background, capturing her as a trailblazing scientist whose work on brittle fracture revolutionized materials engineering and saved lives during and after World War II.

Metallurgist Constance Tipper was born #OTD in 1894.

Her groundbreaking work on the brittle fracture of metals saved countless lives during #WWII & laid foundational principles for modern fracture mechanics. First female FT faculty member at Cambridge Dept of Engineering (1949). #WomenInSTEM (1/2)

Epstein survivor tells CBS News how she was trafficked, and assaulted Juliette Bryant says not long after meeting Jeffrey Epstein, he assaulted her, and she realized, "this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped."

“As the airplane took off, Epstein started touching me forcibly in between my legs, and I freaked out. I realized, this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped. They whisked me away to the island. I was stuck there. They never arranged any modeling opportunities, I was completely conned."

Turns out EYES WIDE SHUT (1999) is a true story. Not idle speculation or merely Kubrickian paranoia. That movie is about the catastrophic damage that happens when one merely 'brushes up against' the powerful. It's a terrible and ugly truth and we must face it collectively and courageously.

He's also announced that Americans will get some kind of check, that he's a genius, has passed physicals with flying colors, and cares about ....something. Didn't make any of it true.

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….
