Today they have crossed a deep red line.
We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

There's a lot of news to track. But it's also important to keep up with the ongoing shock waves in American science and medicine--from the hollowing out of public health to the denial of climate change. I take a look at where we are in my email newsletter today buttondown.com/carlzimmer/a...

We owe it to those already there to make this right. In whatever equitable way possible.
Re: U.S. CECOT detainees, the main q is NOT 'did they ever allegedly commit a crime?'
Rather: Is the US allowed to deliver them into lifetime imprisonment in a notorious Salvadoran prison camp without charge, trial, sentencing, or consideration of international/asylum/anti-torture law?
Clearly no!

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business.
We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.

If you think that this bullying and discrimination will stop with us trans people, you are *wrong*. If you don’t raise your voice and defend us now at this moment, they will be coming for the next group. Then the next. Then you.
“The fearmongering is all the more disproportionate, given how few people identify as transgender. They are a minuscule less than 1 percent of the American population. And they are 0.002 percent of college athletes.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/o...

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

"What happened last night is the most direct assault on the authority of Congress, I believe, in the history of the United States. It is blatantly unconstitutional," Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) says of Trump's OMB halting all federal grants.
"If this stands, then Congress may as well adjourn."
