So, let’s see. You kidnap us, beat us up, tell us you take the worst of the worst - but it looks like everyone to me. You throw kids in detention camps, haul workers away, and the Constitution doesn’t apply to PoC - and you think more will win us back? Pendejos. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

As an @aaas.org Fellow I have been extremely disappointed at the lukewarm efforts of our scientific society to push back on all the excesses of the Trump administration. Dismantled training programs, destruction of public health research & other blows & we respond with fawning praise? Shame! 🧪 1/2
MERE HOURS after the President of the United States posted an AI video of the Obama’s as monkeys, the Science Tech Action Committee (led by @aaas.org and @researchamerica.bsky.social) posted a THANK YOU to TRUMP for SIGNING THE BUDGET.

Shot. Chaser.

How many examples to we need--its time to rise up the same way as the nation did after three murders by the ICE thugs--release all children and their parents NOW

The elite, celebrating the Constitution that works for them.

Maybe we can have an alternate, inclusive, honest event without a boxing match?
I predict our sesquicentennial will be disastrous.

It’s extremely important to listen to this interview. Dilley, TX “inmates” are as young as 2 months and measles outbreak may be occurring.
Joaquin Castro went to a detention prison for more than a year, without charges, no due process, and having committed no crimes.

Why? These are private prisons (Geogroup) that are making money by incarcerating people who may have lived here for decades.

Blumenthal: ICE and CBP are out of control. The practices of this agency have to be completely overhauled. It’s like a corporation in bankruptcy—either dissolved or reorganized. They’re morally bankrupt, legally bankrupt, and politically bankrupt.

Measles cases are rising.

A newborn baby died from listeria infection. The mother drank raw milk. Listeria can cause miscarriages & still births.

Pasteurization was invented for a reason.

Misinformation is expensive.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!
