It's not normal for an American president to send troops to American cities in times of peace.

Chicago, document what you see and be loud for America.

“A U.S. citizen!” And now he’s missing.

Adrian Martinez tried to defend a man ICE was harassing. Video shows six agents swarming him. He struggles but doesn’t lay hands on them. They take him to the ground & shove him into a CBP vehicle.

Abuse of power. Keep recording. Don’t stop.

The right keeps say that the left is radical, violent and intolerant. Yet, nobody on the left is dancing around like a monkey in heat in front of a church and then running out and assassinating politicians.

You’ll find that on the radical right.

If we're actually calling this SignalGate, felt compelled to make this point:

“Signal is a tool. If you misuse a tool, bad things are going to happen," says @matthewdgreen.bsky.social. "If you hit yourself in the face with a hammer, it’s not the hammer’s fault."

SignalGate Isn't About Signal
The Trump cabinet’s shocking leak of its plans to bomb Yemen raises myriad confidentiality and legal issues. The security of the encrypted messaging app Signal is not one of them.

I second this.
I’m totally fine with deporting gang members who commit crimes who don’t have legal status.

I just don’t want Tom Homan or an ICE agent grabbing anyone off the street and flying them to a prison in El Salvador while claiming they are all of those things with zero due process.

“essentially closing research operations in my group” = no new experiments save 1 recently funded grant. Spending freezes limit our ability to order supplies and reagents. We need to focus remaining funding on maintaining personnel + analyzing existing samples w whatever’s left in the cabinet
This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Donald Trump and Republicans are taking money from our farmers, giving it to the wealthy for tax breaks, and throwing away locally-grown food that helps keep our kids fed at school.
