Every story about the feds taking over policing in DC makes me wonder how many who committed violence on Jan 6 were pardoned. From CNN’s reporting: More than 600 rioters had been convicted of or pleaded guilty to assault of or obstructing law enforcement officers and 170 of using a deadly weapon.

Don’t look away. Since the start of the Israel-Iran war 7 days ago, over 400 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed, many shot while seeking food. It's unconscionable that Netanyahu has not allowed international orgs to resume food delivery.

The weaponization of food must end.

U.S. Atty. Edward Martin’s letters smell like an attempt to intimidate scientists and journal editors, sending a clear message: don’t publish anything that challenges Trump’s narrative. Scientists & editors, let’s protect the freedom to share ideas without fear of backlash. Stay brave, speak truth.
U.S. attorney demands scientific journal explain how it ensures 'viewpoint diversity'
The unusual letter caught the attention of First Amendment groups and some scientists, who raised concerns it was designed to suppress academic and scientific freedom.

Bone chilling.

A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

Ripping a student from their home, challenging their immigration status, and detaining them solely based on political viewpoint will chill student speech and advocacy across campuses nationwide.

Political speech should never be a basis of punishment or lead to deportation.

The Trump administration’s detention of Mahmoud Khalil — a green card holder studying in this country legally — is targeted, retaliatory, and an extreme attack on his First Amendment rights.

Truly damaging and impact will be lasting

The the Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab (GLERL) team is smart, hard working and very humble as they work daily to protect the #GreatLakes

Sending a big thank you to the amazing team at GLERL in my home town!!!
Sad, unacceptable, and DANGEROUS.
Massive cuts to NOAA, including the Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab (GLERL) are devastating.
Among the critical role it serves to the public (as @drkatfish.bsky.social mentions),
GLERL was also the site of my Spotted Gar experiments for my PhD. 😢
