This is literally Nazi stuff. Hitler issued the “nacht und nebel” decree which told the Gestapo to arrest people without giving out any information to anyone about it - so that people would simply disappear into the “night and fog.”
They seem to be making a habit of it.

This child was taken 10 days ago, no idea who he is, if he is with his family or even if his family knows what happened to him.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Washington State has power.States have levers they can pull. States have the ability to pass laws and enact “policy” that would impact ICE’s abilities. So do cities. The federal government is not the only government and many have forgotten that. Change starts in your own community. What levers? 🧵 👇

The fact that ICE officers prevented a doctor from rendering aid after fatally shooting an innocent woman is sick beyond measure.
 
As we press for accountability, it is important that all of us spread the facts of this brutal and unjustified killing far and wide.

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

Today on Volts: for years, I've wanted to do a podcast on indoor air quality, and I finally found the perfect guest! Dr. Lagoudas & I discuss indoor air pollutants, the policies and technologies that can control them, and the growing need to frame indoor air quality as a basic human right.
What's the deal with indoor air quality?
From CO2 monitors to better building codes, Dr. Georgia Lagoudas outlines how to clean up the spaces where we spend 90% of our lives.

This dystopian video is previewing a violent takeover, not a targeted law enforcement action. It's insane.

Trump is militarizing our cities to STOKE violence. Not to reduce it. These are the tried and true tactics of authoritarians - plain and simple.

The tl;dr: here is that we need options within the public system, curriculum and programs aren't inequitable but the way students get assigned to them often is, that's what needs to be fixed -- and the solution is to tax the rich to pay for amazing public schools for every child. /end

Since Antifa isn’t really an “organization”, this is just carte blanche to arbitrarily declare people terrorists.
BREAKING: Trump says he is designating “Antifa” as a “major terrorist organization.”

Such a step being taken this way would be concerning enough, given what it actually is, but, given that Trump sees “Antifa” hiding in every corner of opposition, this could be an extremely alarming escalation.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.

WTF is with school districts pushing back on this? Hungry kids can't learn. Districts need to give a minimum of 20 minutes *seated* lunch times in schools.

The public is invited to testify as the state proposes at least 20 minutes of “seated time” for students. A KING 5 investigation found many districts fall short.
