It’s different when a man wrongly imprisoned returns and speaks out. It would put a face on a story.

Ideas for action to take?

I don’t understand why we need to negotiate with the government of El Salvador. We are paying them to hold these people. We can just stop paying them. It’s ridiculous.

They don’t want him back because he’ll talk about conditions there.

The regime doesn’t want him returned (assuming he’s still alive) because he will report on what conditions are like in the prison.

Can you explain why no one seems to mention that the US is paying a fortune to El Salvador to imprison the people we have sent there? If we stop sending them money seems to me they should return the detainees.

If we are in a constitutional crisis, what does that mean on a practical level? More chaos and lawlessness? What are the next steps?

Vought is giving big banks and giant corporations the green light to scam families.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned over $21 billion to families cheated by Wall Street. Republicans have failed to gut it in Congress and in the courts. They will fail again.

It’s Super Bowl Sunday and Donald Trump has done pretty much nothing to lower your grocery costs.

The President needs to buckle down and deliver on his promises.

Research universities in the United States and the massive local economies they sustain are about to be hit by unfathomable destruction. For a political party and its cronies that claim to care about winning and global domination, this is the the stupidest shit they could possibly do.

Johns Hopkins is set to be crippled by the cuts at NIH. These cuts start tomorrow. Thread below.

Donald Trump and the Republicans have learned nothing.

Please have a staff person summarize the Q&A. The video cutout and so no one watching on YouTube got to hear any of the questions or answers. Also, good idea to check the sound before starting.

How is giving private citizens access to the personal data of citizens lawful? Remember the outcry about Hilary’s emails? What a joke. But really, what is the law on this?

Mentorship and creating safe spaces matters more than ever. Thanks to all my grad school colleagues on the NEM team for making this initiative a success. It has been a pleasure to work with you.

The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening?

In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control.

Call it what it is.

I haven’t deleted FB yet as I have a few groups that I rely on for info. Hoping they switch over so I can delete it.
