So the “women in space” sending the message that young girls belong in STEM was……bullshit ?
Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.
Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards
Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

3 things autistic kids will actually never do:

1. Pick up a roadkill bear from the side of the road and put it in their van to eat

2. Realize they could get in trouble for eating the bear

3. Leave it in Central Park to frame a cyclist for its murder

Andry Hernandez Romero. Also. Exists.

I mean I get in, it’s Amurika and Abrego Garcia has kids, so his life is OBVIOUSLY more valuable.

Romero is Venezuelan, he’s way less likely to survive, and has zero priors.
He’s gay tho, so he gets 2% of the coverage.

This country is a joke.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

The Trump Administration is using our taxpayer dollars to pay a foreign government to keep a man it mistakenly deported in an inhumane mass prison.

Trump must abide by the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling and bring Kilmar home.
Sen. Van Hollen: I asked the Vice President if the US courts found that he was illegally taken from the US, and El Salvador has no evidence that he was part of MS-13, why is El Salvador continuing to hold him in CECOT? His answer was that the Trump administration is paying to keep him at CECOT

He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech.

Dem Sen. Chris Van Hollen: El Salvador Government Just Refused To Let Me Visit Wrongly Deported Man

Sen. Chris Van Hollen said he spoke with the American embassy in El Salvador today and they said that they’d never been told to in any way facilitate the court ordered return of Mr Abrego.

That sure sounds like evidence of criminal contempt to me.
The White House’s blatant disregard of U.S. District Judge James Boasberg's order is “sufficient to conclude” that there is probable cause for criminal contempt, Boasberg wrote.

He added that none of the government’s explanations to date have been satisfactory.
Judge to Launch Criminal Contempt Proceedings Into Trump Officials

What could they possibly be hiding that only the GOP is willing to overlook?

For someone who went to Yale, JV isn't particularly bright. JV, it is not just the deportation of the man you are lying about, it is the fact that your boss (and probably you) have no respect for the citizenship of Americans, and plan to deport folks born in the US as well.

Kilmar Garcia was in the U.S. legally. He entered as a minor and had legal protection under “withholding of removal” granted by a judge in 2019, meaning deportation was prohibited by law. ICE removed him anyway, and the Supreme Court ruled it was illegal. Facts matter more than slogans.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US.

When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

One thing I've learned over the last 85 days - believe these guys when they say what they're going to do.
 
Elon Musk called Social Security a Ponzi scheme and said it had to be eliminated - consequences be damned, apparently. They're gambling your future and don't care who gets hurt.
