As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Seriously, why aren't we putting messages like these everywhere? I'd happily chip in some pro-NSF and pro-NIH billboards? 🧪

Think it’s important to highlight how everyday violence of the U.S. criminal legal system is making what ICE is doing possible: this man was convicted of a crime at *16*; he was *pardoned*; when ICE came decades later they claimed the conviction made him a felon w/ no recourse against deportation
Rodney Taylor is a beloved Georgia barber who came to the United States from Liberia with his mother when he was only two years old. He applied for citizenship but was denied. But this year, ICE arrested him, locked him up, and has scheduled him to be deported to a faraway country he's never known.

Why are these questions not front and center in every news story about this travesty?
These men were not just deported, they've been incarcerated without trial in a brutalist megaprison.
What is the plan for them now? Are they awaiting trial? Where? Are they facing sentences? How long?

Amid the chaos over USAID funding and waivers, one thing is clear: PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) for HIV prevention is not funded—unless you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
2025 could have marked the start of an HIV-free generation.

One of the most ominous and dystopian things that felt different this time was how the billionaires all knew, and one by one they told us straight-faced that they knew, and how compliant they'd be; some of them pulling critiques from their papers, some of them sitting by his side on election night.

They are loud, strategic, fiercely loyal, opportunistic, and sometimes obnoxious — perhaps we tend to dislike them because they are so much like us

![Panel from the Stop Project 2025 comic
This panel is broken into two parts. In the first, we see a close up of a hand holding a can of baby formula. In the second, a father looks dubiously at the back of that baby formula bottle. He’s holding a hungry, crying baby.
CAPTION: Deregulate baby formula.
CAPTION: Project 2025 says “labeling regulations and regulations that unnecessarily delay the manufacture and sale of baby formula should be re-evaluated.” [2025, p. 302]
FATHER: Hang on, what’s in this stuff anyway?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j53elsjlcag3iuran5ezcy32/bafkreiajcpnbkpxsy6mj3hxhzk2xhmnua2f4himuolym2fdjpwaoxgaqdy@jpeg)

More kitefins! They have spiracles to pump water over their gills to breathe while not moving.
They bioluminescence is faint and used for counter illumination (blending in with ambient light)
Because their teeth are in a band they loose and replace whole rows at once.
