This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Need a sink unclogged? Federal workers turn to side hustles for cash.
Federal workers haven’t been paid since September. Some of them are looking for odd jobs, while others are fully leaning into their side hustles.

the next time you see a possum, thank him/her (instead of trying to kill it) - they eat ticks. 'Nuff said. #lymedisease #ticks #pestcontrol #opossum
Invasive ticks are spreading, bringing new disease risks. Climate change plays a role—but so does 150 years of catastrophic bird loss and broader biodiversity collapse. Fewer predators = more ticks. Nature’s balance sheet is in the red.

Invasive ticks have scientists spooked about new diseases — National Geographic
Over 100 new tick species have entered the U.S. in the last 50 years. Scientists say it's just the beginning.

It's important to note here that we're not just talking about faculty & university staff. 100s of U.S. colleges are in towns or small cities where they form the major industry & lifeblood of the community. Loss of students -> loss of rent $, restaurant $, bars, bookstores, gaming stores...
The US could see a 30-40% decline in new international student enrollment, resulting in nearly $7 billion in lost revenue and more than 60,000 fewer American jobs. https://www.nafsa.org/fall-2025-international-student-enrollment-outlook-and-economic-impact

No one should fear for their lives when going to work or just existing in their own community. Violent tactics put everyone at risk, especially when carried out with no regard for constitutional rights, safety or basic dignity.

While many mayors of major U.S. cities claim to oppose ICE — and have even implemented formal “sanctuary city” policies — local police often act as a “force multiplier” for ICE, even when they aren’t directly involved in detaining migrants.

Local Police Departments Are Enabling ICE’s Deportation Machine
Even in cities where police decline to work with ICE, local law enforcement still bolster the deportation machine.
