The “party of small government” has just created the largest militarized police force on Earth, and a top 15 military globally. What could possibly go wrong with a secret police force that rounds up undesirables without due process of law and locks them in concentration camps???

There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like “mRNA” and “riboflavin” and “walkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem
Over 120 mRNA cancer trials are now at risk as the Trump admin cuts funding & tells researchers to scrub “mRNA” from grant proposals.
What started as COVID fearmongering is now derailing life-saving cancer research.
Hope remains - but scientists say time is running out.

A very sensible list. This shouldn’t be so damned hard.
-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence
These are the foundations of real freedom.

MAJOR victory for Mahmoud Khalil and rule of law, which is being battered but is still holding up pretty well (by US standards).
Judge: And so given all those factual findings, I'm going to exercise the discretion I have to ORDER THE RELEASE of Mahmoud Khalil

Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Please have this issue on the agenda of the upcoming G7 meeting. Surely, the 7 Great nations of the world can, collectively, do something meaningful about keeping the people of Gaza from starving to death.
After serving more than 130 million total meals and 26 million loaves of bread over the past 18 months, World Central Kitchen no longer has the supplies to cook meals or bake bread in Gaza. #ChefsForGaza (1/5)
