Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

1. Stay engaged

When all the news is about Trump and pardons and lies, it is easy to want to retreat and stop paying attention. Don’t. It is precisely when things are hard that we must all lean into remaining vigilant and informed. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

The research organizations at risk are often major employers like universities, hospitals, and land grant institutions. Please call your senators/rep, especially if you’re in a red state.

Then contact your local media and urge them to report on the consequences for the community
**NEW CALL** Demand your reps work to reverse the Trump admin's decision to cut NIH and NSF funding!

These cuts will cause an immediate and massive funding shortfall at research institutions nationwide, forcing layoffs and jeopardizing critical scientific research.

Andy Biggs helped plan January 6, according to Ali Alexander.

He should be in federal prison, probably for the rest of his natural life.

But Merrick Garland had to play politics first, so instead tens of millions of workers will lose all safety protections at work.

That the size of it, basically?

Our Midwestern values are under siege.

At such a critical time for civil and labor rights in this country, Illinois is doubling down on our commitment to protecting all Illinoisans.

In doing so, we're solidifying our status as a place of welcome and opportunity for all.

Canadian officials and business leaders mounted a crisis response that drew parallels with the COVID pandemic after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed 25% tariffs on almost everything the U.S. buys from Canada.
Trump’s ‘tariff thrashing’ spurs crisis response from Canada
The U.S. tariffs are expected to create job losses in Canada and may even cause it to tip into a recession if they last for a number of months.
