I deleted my account the day before Vance & Trump berated Zelenskyy. I decided to come back because the betrayal of Trump and his sycophants must be met by fierce opposition from every American.

There is talk going around that DHS is now arresting people who fly *domestically* if they have final orders of removal.
Undocumented youth should consider consulting a lawyer to find out what their record is -- especially those whose parents had prior interactions with immigration.

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

This clip is exactly right. I don't think the NG should be on the streets of 🇺🇲 cities and there is zero excuse for violence. We should have great sorrow over our fellow citizens who joined the NG, to serve the people of their state and us, who have been attacked. Pray for them and their families

Nearly every mechanism that made my career possible—Ford, NSF, Harvard BiGS—is gone or on the way to the chopping block.
This means NSF dissertation improvement grants in the social sciences are simply...not happening.
NEW from me - NSF cancels grant scheme for social science research.
Seems the NSF quietly archived ALL calls for DDRIG grants in the SBE directorate. This is a massive blow for PhD students wanting to do cutting-edge social science research. 🏺🧪

Notice that MAGA never refers to Putin as a “warmonger.” You know, the guy who started the war, bombs civilian population centers daily, & refuses to sign a ceasefire. Nope, according to MAGA, Putin isn’t the warmonger - it’s the people who support Ukraine’s refusal to surrender.

Frankly, the only reason Russia would accept a peace plan that Ukraine has already agreed to is if Putin is in a worse position than we realise. If he were winning, he’d just keep ploughing on.

To me, the hardest apologetic challenges for Christians are not logical, but existential -
~ problem of suffering & evil
~ hypocrites in the church
~ children leaving the faith
To those who struggle with these, I have no good answers except Peter's confession - "Lord, to whom else shall we go?"

Yep. I've been waiting for EU spooks to start reminding Trump that they've got their own capabilities.
Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

He advised Putin to call Trump, congratulate him on the Gaza deal, and present Russia as eager for peace before Zelensky visited the White House.
Two days later, Putin called Trump in a discussion Trump described as “very productive.”
