Hard to listen to Aliya Rahman’s description of her treatment by ICE— but please do (in my recent post). This is not what the US should accept. I hope she sues the ass off those who treated her so badly. Any pro bono lawyers willing to step up?

It is difficult to hear, but we should not look away.If this is how our own citizens are treated, just imagine…“We call ourselves a civilized nation, but we lack rules and accountability around what a person claiming to be law enforcement is permitted to do to another human being.”View all 3,198 comments

The man is really sick: Criminal Trump wrote on Truth Social, the Reiner couple’s deaths were “reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS.”

There are additional consequences of SRM involving effects on atmospheric circulation, with complex impacts on rainfall patterns. It is far too simplistic to just focus on temperature reduction without considering the knock-on effects. Let’s not go down this path and remain focused on emissions

I think people just need to consider going abroad for a few years. It will be a great experience on many levels and hopefully things will improve after a while. There are many opportunities in Europe

Criminal-Trump’s domestic policy bill that just passed in the Senate would end federal support for wind and solar energy and also impose a new tax on future projects. How incredibly stupid & short-sighted. Another victory for the Luddites & a loss for the US consumers

The US is ending its “humanitarian parole” system so it can now deport those who were offered a safe haven from danger abroad and who came here legally. We are no longer willing to be humanitarian. What a message that sends around the world. Another despicable act by Criminal-Trump.

Georgia abortion ban forces hospital to keep brain-dead pregnant woman alive A brain-dead woman in Georgia is being kept alive by ventilators and forced to carry her pregnancy to term due to the state's strict abortion law.

Can it get worse? Georgia requires brain- dead mother to be kept alive as she is pregnant. She is being kept alive with ventilators due to the state’s strict abortion law. Surely this is exceptionally cruel and unusual punishment for the mother and her family. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/sh...

Why does the media refer to Criminal-Trump’s “falsehoods”? They are lies, plain and simple. Call it like it is. No more “ mis-spoke” either. A lie is a lie is a lie.

Criminal-Trump explained why he went to Rome for the Pope’s funeral: “I won the Catholic vote”. He is incapable of appreciating just how vacuous & shallow a response that is. Nothing about the Pope’s wisdom & humanity, concerns about the environment, empathy for the poor & oppressed- just pathetic.

NSF Director resigns noting “ .. the invisible hand of NSF propels the discovery engine of our nation..”. Nice. But Criminal-Trump is about to chop that hand off, for no good reason. Congress must assert its authority and make sure the draconian cuts being recommended are never implemented.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Kleptocracy, Inc. Under Trump, conflicts of interest are just part of the system.

Trump’s delusional statement today: “..climate change will create more waterfront property”. And more underwater property too— a lot more. Warmer oceans and melting ice will accelerate sea-level rise and expand the areas subject to coastal flooding

Another white, western, woman's story makes it into the media. Detained for 19 days while trying to *leave* the US after a holiday. It's appalling what happened to her. I can't imagine the suffering that goes on unreported. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
