I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

It appears that the United States is going to celebrate its Semiquincentennial Anniversary by burning itself to the ground and then salting the earth. Glory!

Where is he? If we stop asking, stop demanding his return, we are complicit in his disappearance.
Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 109 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Kristi Noem doesn't need your prayers. She's got the super duper healthcare coverage that wealthy Americans hoard for themselves.
To be clear, the Americans who don't have healthcare don't need your prayers either. They need universal healthcare.

The stock market is something we watch and feel and measure, so its collapse is well-tracked.
But when you see the charts of a straight downward trajectory, they also summarize what’s happening with cancer research, academic freedom, basic rights, America’s standing in the world, and so much more.

This is a de facto massive budget cut to research universities. We are talking Great Recession size impacts.
⚠️ Effective Monday 2/10/25, NIH indirect rate capped at 15%. Applies to existing & future grants.
—> Deep budget cuts & program closures coming to a university near you.
Is this the break the glass moment for university administrators who have been silent so far about the attack on science?
