CBS reports ICE agents have repeatedly made fake 911 calls. Each time, police found no threat. In Illinois, that’s a felony.

Circa 2009-2010 blog me would find it hard to believe some kinds of basic grantsmithing errors are still a thing in 2025.

My number one tip for researchers that do a significant amount of non peer reviewed paper publication/outreach:

Create an excel table, every time you give an interview, talk, write an oped or white paper, etc. take 5 seconds to immediately note it in the excel.

And it’s not true. She went back and said she needed to correct it. That they were doxxing where they were running raids & not their home addresses. I think that senator should have repeated her retraction back to her before moving on & reminded her of all the times they post lies & misinformation.

Over the weekend ICE abducted an NIH contractor when he showed up to a courthouse for his green card hearing. He is documented. His wife is a citizen.

He is also member of the skeleton crew of animal care staff that works through a shutdown, to ensure the health and wellbeing of research animals.

I’m old enough to remember when Republicans informed us that if you didn’t do crimes you had nothing to fear from police inquiry into your personal beeswax.

At Bondi hearing, Sen. Josh Hawley calls the pulling of phone toll records "tapping," which is an entirely different thing. You can't "tap" phone calls from 2021 in 2023, you can just look at what numbers they called.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.
