THIS IS NOT A DRILL: ICE has detained hundreds of U.S. citizens by “mistake.”
And now they want 100,000 beds and more planes to scale up?
They’re not deporting “illegals”—they’re running a kidnapping ring with government contracts.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Good morning. The dance, whatever that means to you, is worth fighting for.
“During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, protested in the afternoon and danced all night. The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen.
1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

This Wall Street Journal video about the cost of military deportation flights is one of the wildest things I've seen in a while.
It cost $2.8 million—with 2 in-air refuelings!—to deport 104 people to India on February 4.
$27,000 per deported person.

We have entered a new suppressive anti-science age of government-sponsored bigotry. Includes decision tree from NSF email.

This is America. Spelling it out so it's clear what Trump is against: #diversity #equity #inclusion #DEI
Federal health workers are expressing fear and alarm after a website called “DEI Watch List” published the photos, names and public information of a number of workers across health agencies, describing them as “targets.”
