My motto has always been to take one step at a time. Born again. Love dogs, animals in general, musical theatre, movies, books (don’t read as often as I should). Many sports teams. I worry about climate change and the environment. 🙏🏻❤️🐾🌻🦋

All the hawks who led US into the disastrous war in Iraq and Afghanistan fell up in life. They're still on TV and writing columns and advising elected officials. Very few ever apologized. The same people are here now as Trump leads US into another reckless war with Iran.

Afterwards, Sen. Padilla framed what happened in exactly the right way:
"If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question...I can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers, in Los Angeles & throughout California & the country."

Philly local tv station reporting that a man allegedly posed as an ICE agent in order to rob a car repair business office.
How many other criminals might be getting this idea right now, given that actual ICE agents are refusing to show IDs, warrants, badges?

Proud to be a signatory on this letter in support of the courageous staff at the NIH who penned the Bethesda Declaration to decry the ongoing politicization and damage to the US biomedical research infrastructure which has been the envy of the world.
I wanted to show support for these brave public servants and to allow others, including the scientific community, to join me. In partnership with @standupforscience.bsky.social, we have a way for you to do that... www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-dec...

Americans have understood the threat of standing armies to democratic nations as long as there has been a United States—and even longer.
They can easily become tools of repression against We the People.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
