ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

Now that Stephen Miller is calling for CBS to fire journalists who are trying to tell the truth about Trump's mass deportations, it's a good time to check out our deep reported dive into Miller's real worldview and agenda:
Now that Bari Weiss pulled a segment telling the truth about Trump's deportations to let Stephen Miller have his say (i.e. spread propaganda), it's a good time to check out our deep dive into Miller's real worldview and agenda, which doesn't pull any punches:

“Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine marks the beginning of yet another change in the world order. For young people today, it is their 1918, 1945, or 1989 moment,” writes Finnish President Alexander Stubb.

Just a few weeks ago I shared a story about Sean Glendinning.

The story was about how Sean Glendinning was a person we should peep.

Sure enough a few weeks after that first Glendinning story from Nick Muller, there is a second.

Sean is leading the cover up of the E-Files.

Nobody’s asking white Americans to apologize for being white. We’re asking those who benefit from unjust systems to join in dismantling them instead of denying they exist.
That’s participation in democracy. Read Rabbi Sandra’s essay. https://shorturl.at/HKvlg

The Grinch didn’t steal Christmas in one scene.
He warmed us up first.

That’s what Trump’s tariffs do:
warned in spring, felt by fall, brutal by December. Trees cost more. Toys cost more. Families lose.

The Grinch was fiction.
This is policy and it hits kids first.

Sharyn Alfonsi, the veteran CBS news reporter who led the story: “I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight.”
The reality is that she is much more likely to be fired than Weiss, and that should tell you all you need to know about CBS now.

The world should be alarmed. A lunatic is president of the United States and no one is challenging his impulses to make himself an emperor.

FWIW:

This paper, which argues that Twitter is no longer a useful or widely used place for talking about research and people have mostly switched to Bluesky, has been shared:

WOW! Our survey of scientists who stopped using Twitter and started using Bluesky is now the #1 most-shared on social media article in the history of the journal Integrative and Comparative Biology! Thanks for reading it, everyone! @sicbjournals.bsky.social

“There has been erosion of trust in science & public health & medicine,” vaccine & infectious disease expert @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social said in response to the Trump administration’s cuts to vaccine and medical research. “It’s a terrible tragedy,” said Dr. Francis Collins, former NIH director.
‘This is immoral’: Public Health experts respond to funding cuts to science & medicine 
Over the course of the year, the Trump administration cut billions in funding for the National Institutes of Health, and $500 million worth of mRNA vaccine research. “There has been erosion of trust in science and public health and medicine,” said Dr. Peter Hotez, co-director of the Center for Vaccine Development at the Texas Children’s Hospital. “But it’s not random, this occurred deliberately by bad actors for political motivation.” Dr. Francis Collins, the former director of the NIH, said he’s never seen anything like this. Cuts to NIH resulted in the cancellation of 383 clinical trials affecting 74,000 trial participants. “Many of these people very serious cancers for which we don't have a great answer, but maybe we're in the middle of discovering one, and then the trial gets stopped, and all that data is lost, and those people are basically left to drift,” Dr. Collins said. “This is immoral to drop somebody into that space.”

Such a powerful documentary on Netflix! “All the Empty Rooms”. If our country loves children, like we claim, we must protect them with better guns laws. Australia has taken action and almost never has mass shootings compared to us. With so much happening we must also fight for this too.
