The thing where ICE parks masked men in school lots is something I would not have believed unless I saw it with my own two eyes. They do it constantly. Itβs purely a terror tactic and theyβve done it to schools over the region. Our schools are collapsing - often at 50% attendance or less.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. Itβs out of control.
Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.
I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.
I need to share with you what I saw.
Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.
The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Excited to see this paper out in Biological Psychiatry! It highlights that emotional pain and fear represent distinct PTSD dimensions, leading us closer to identifying PTSD subtypes with dissociable biological underpinnings. Congrats on leading the charge on this cool study @zivbenzion.bsky.social

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.
But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

RFK Jr. put out a document justifying pulling $500M from mRNA research. It was assembled by a dentist, not a virologist. The "science" he refers to was not systematic review of the research.
He cited work that CONTRADICTED his views.
More reason to oust him.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli govβt is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.

Rightfully, the cuts to Medicaid (over 10M people will lose their health care) and the tax cuts for the rich have been the story of the disastrous Republican budget bill.
