This was going to be a page for the homestead, but might have a little leftist content too. Des Moines, IA. Iowa Native.
Absolutely terrifying. The scariest step yet.
This is what fascism looks like:
Attorney General Bondi threatening judges she claims are not cooperating with Trump immigration policies and saying “we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you.”

It’s incredible that now the *best case* scenario is basically Trump engaging in a humiliating climb-down, but having already inflicted permanent damage and uncertainty that never be undone.

We called the Right “sick” because they celebrate cruelty and don’t care if our kids die from curable diseases, whereas they call us “sick“ because we want due process and equal rights.

Japan has decided to start sharing satellite intelligence with the Ukrainian military.
It’s the first time Japan will provide direct intelligence-sharing to a country at war.
Ukraine will receive SAR imagery from 5 satellites operated by iQPS.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:
—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.
Read it.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

This headline construction could apply to nearly anyone in the Trump 2.0 administration.
"The EPA Head Who Hates the Environment."
"The HHS Secretary Who Hates Science-Based Medicine."
"The Education Sec. Who Hates Education."
"The President Who Hates Democracy."
The nihilism is a throughline.

Yes, that very awkward wording suggests that Alito failed to refer the application to the full Court and the Chief stepped in and brought it "before the Court" before the planes could depart.
Thanks for this! Is it significant that the order begins, "There is before the Court an application," rather than, "The application presented to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court"? Was the usual procedure bypassed?

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,
Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

Jessica Tarlov: “President Bukele is lying when he says he can't get him back. We know he can return people because he returned people from the original shipment. There were women that were sent there and he said, ‘you shouldn't be here.’”
