They’re chasing quotas, not criminals!

The former head of Chicago’s immigration court, fired by Trump, is finally speaking out. A new lawsuit accuses the administration of unlawfully targeting documented immigrants who were already showing up to court, just so ICE could hit arrest quotas.

Only Congress has the power to declare war and our elected officials must take that power back. Urge your senators to use their constitutional authority with the war powers resolution: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

Then do the same with your representative: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

This is an insanely reckless move with terrifyingly massive consequences, and it's happening without congressional approval.

Stop the needless, endless war.
An act of war weeks in planning but unauthorized by Congress against a country that Trump's own director of intelligence testified under oath was not close to getting a nuclear weapon.

To every member of Congress tonight: We don’t need 200+ words. We need 3 sentences.

1. Trump’s strike on Iran was unauthorized & unconstitutional
2. Congress must reassert its war powers—immediately
3. I support the War Powers Resolutions in the House and Senate

No war with Iran. Full stop.

Evangelicals are raised in a religion that demands they acquiesce to an authoritarian.

Whether it’s their father, their pastor, or their president — they are indoctrinated to submit.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’

One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

Kennedy claimed that drugs like budesonide and clarithromycin "have been shown very effective" for measles, but doctors say they don't fight the infection itself.

My first postdoc was an NSF funded position at Harvard working with John Huchra on the 2MASS redshift survey - people in that same situation finishing their PhD right now presumably just lost their job.
🔔BREAKING🔔

The NSF has frozen all research grant awards—cutting off life-saving science midstream and demanding ideological screenings for future funding.

This is censorship disguised as oversight.

Here’s how you can help us spread the word ➡️🧵(1/3):

She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.

This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.
