WTF?
ICE has detained Kseniia Petrova, a Harvard scientist from Russia working on major advancements in cancer detection, since mid-February.

If deported, she could face arrest over her opposition to the war in Ukraine.

Another reminder that xenophobia hurts all of us.

Defeatism is exactly what Trump, Vance, and Musk want us to feel. 

They’d like nothing better than for us to give up, so they can have it all. Cynicism and hopelessness play into their fetid hands.

Keep up the fight.

Any psychologist or psychiatrist (or former abused spouse) will tell you that President Zelensky gave a master class today on how to deal with a malignant narcissist.

It’s the only way. And not just some of them—every single Democrat needs to boycott it.
I think Dems should not go to the Joint Session Congressional address next week. (Term of art for SOTUs given in first year of a term.) Just don't show up.

Convince me that I'm wrong.

This would also have a chilling effect on tax compliance. Many undocumented immigrants pay taxes using Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs). If their tax data were used against them, it could discourage compliance, reducing tax revenues and driving more people to work off the books.
