We are in hell. The VA is cancelling parental leave that has already been approved, some parents already on leave.

#DougCollins is evil.

This behavior is indistinguishable from the worst secret polices of fascist regimes of the 20th century.
NEW: Wearing masks, no ID, unmarked & blacked out cars, refusing to say what agency they’re from and using profanity with any press & public nearby.

This was at 14th & R in Washington DC, this morning (Sunday).

What the hell is happening to the US?

NIH doesn’t just support infectious disease research—it drives breakthroughs in cancer, childhood diseases, heart disease, diabetes & more.

Thanks to NIH, we have:
💉 Cancer immunotherapy
❤️ Cholesterol-lowering statins
🩸 Insulin for diabetes

Investing in NIH = investing in life-saving discoveries.

Today in US History: On Feb. 3, 1870, the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, granted black men the right to vote. It was passed by Congress on February 26, 1869. Black Americans were set free by the 13th amendment. The 14th Amendment guaranteed citizenship.

This is good advice we should all try to follow. Messaging is vital when you're battling an authoritarian government.
Call the tariffs the Trump Tax, always.

Seems like a good time to point out that you can download from the library of congress, and it would be worthwhile to download probably as much as you can while you can

What stood out to me is the last line about Columbia FORCING their criminals into the US. I don't recall hearing about any flights loaded with known criminals being sent to the US by any foreign government. On the other hand, Trump forced 1500 known criminals onto the streets of the US.
