Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal."

That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Now a PA resident, meeting new people and looking to get involved in my new community. (Conshohocken, just up the Schuylkill River from the East Falls section of Philly where I grew up.) Oh, and riding my bike on the SRT as much as possible!

“essentially closing research operations in my group” = no new experiments save 1 recently funded grant. Spending freezes limit our ability to order supplies and reagents. We need to focus remaining funding on maintaining personnel + analyzing existing samples w whatever’s left in the cabinet
This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Yep.
They want to cut USPS - so they can own it.

They want to cut Amtrak - so they can own it.

They want to cut Social Security - so they can force you to use private financial firms more.

They want to cut Medicare and the VA - so they can force you to use private healthcare more.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Rep. Lance Gooden ripped a “This is NOT Normal” sign out of Rep. Melanie Stansbury’s hand—on live TV, right before Trump’s speech. When they have to silence you by force, they’ve already proven your point.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

He just started believing his own propaganda about being a scientific genius rather than a canny businessman good at marketing who caught a few lucky breaks. It’s the story of the entire conservative movement writ large. They started actually internalizing the stuff written for external consumption.

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol.
We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

These women didn’t sit down, stay quiet, or ask for permission—they broke the rules and changed the world. Role models.

We should add Bishop Mariann Budde to the list.
