Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:
—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.
Read it.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Our politicians are so used to their position as sound bite jockey and I suspect that’s why they have been so ineffective at addressing this crises. Suddenly they are called to be people of action and they do not know how.

At this point, we are close to a tipping point of unrestrained violence. When concealed carry laws meet masked men pretending to be real agents…
You saw the video of the ICE agent breaking a car window near the border, right? He wasn’t an ICE agent. He’s the founder of Veterans on Patrol, a FAR-RIGHT MILITIA patrolling the border for migrants. They’re basically deputizing militias to act as federal agents. This is dangerously out of control

Everything about this is wrong. Most people with autism have jobs. Use toilets. Pay taxes. And Speak more clearly than this gravel-throated man.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.

Can someone just start a taunt that Trump is too weak to make it happen? Reverse psychology this shit already and bring that poor man home.
HAPPENING NOW: The Justice Department has missed a 5pm deadline to file details about Kilmar Abrego Garcia's whereabouts and efforts to comply with a judge's otder to facilitate his return.
Still waiting to see if they're just a few minutes behind or not planning to file at all

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship.
Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

And in 2008 the government was actively trying to stem the bleeding. Now they hold the dripping knife …
"Is this what 2008 felt like?"
No. 2008 was a crescendo of years of sub-prime mortgages laundered through faked bond ratings and derivatives trading by an army of savy, greedy people hiding what they'd done.
This is one rapist felon who's killing the world in full view of everyone for fun.

Click to read the opening thread. This is heartbreaking.
I taught a US citizenship class to South Sudanese refugees in Nebraska, 2006-2007. Fleeing civil war, they worked arduous jobs at a meat packing plant. Many had no literacy in any language.
But they studied hard for a citizenship exam which many native-born Americans would not be able to pass.

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

And this was the framer’s intention. When the winds start to shift, Congress will try to cover their own asses. Interesting to watch it play out if I wasn’t sitting in the fucking middle of it.
Ted Cruz: “Tariffs are a tax on consumers, and I’m not a fan of jacking up taxes on American consumers.”
Let’s see if he actually does something about it—and supports the bipartisan Grassley-Cantwell bill.

When we're done with all of this, we should really get rid of:
- the two party system
- the presidency
- the US Senate
If we had a parlimentary, multi-party system, we could have elections in months to remove this clearly insane guy from office. Instead, we have to wait almost three years.

Booker behaves like a legend, we win the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, and my candidate hold on to mayorship. Plus my baby boy turned 23.
Better than an okay day. But yet, the horrors persist. Florida is still a lost cause.
