Everyone's talking about Katy Perry when we should be talking about Amanda Nguyễn who finally achieved her dream after putting her space career on hold to fight for sexual assault survivors. The first Vietnamese woman in space, she carried an experiment to study women's health in space. #WomenInSTEM

Also, let's be clear: Having a criminal record also doesn't mean you should be deported to a torture camp in another country and effectively sentenced to death.

Because everybody has basic rights, and because dictatorships will always redefine what "criminality" means.

From when American lives, citizens or residents, meant something. We rescued them from foreign prisons!

Two men who worked for Ross Perot's EDS weren't left behind...they were rescued from Iran.

Just think about what this authoritarian coward is saying. He’s saying he has the power to deport people without any due process, but when it comes to bringing back the ones who were mistakenly deported, he says he’s utterly powerless. The courts must slap him hard.👇

Trump illegally slashed millions in grants already appropriated to the National Endowment of the Humanities, jeopardizing valuable research.

His anti-growth, anti-education, slash-and-burn war on the humanities is pushing us backward.

He must reverse these cuts immediately.
At least 1,200 grants canceled as NEH cuts target humanities across U.S.
Culture groups condemned DOGE’s “unpatriotic” cuts to National Endowment for the Humanities staff and grants in all 50 states, according to tracking by the National Humanities Alliance.

Hard to believe the hill the Justice Department wants to die on, we don’t want to comply with your order so we aren’t going to. Nothing like engaging in explicitly lawless behavior they don’t even pretend to regret.
