Living the best life with 4 generations in our enormous house. We are taking it seriously that it takes a village to raise the children right. Also a chihuahua mom and have an autistic granddaughter. Very politically blue.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

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.

It will definitely mean that many of the mentally ill people, whom I treated over my career, will no longer have access to their medications. As a result, they'll be flooding psychiatric hospitals and jails. Good job, Republicans.

Sorry you deal with this horse shit everyday; from a frustrated Canadian to his equally frustrated neighbor south of the border, know we stand with your sentiment (even in the face of being meaninglessly pitted against one another in some sort of tariff escalation that helps no one).

This is why you fight these cowards.
The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.
Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Someone should remind the billionaires that before workers had the right to organize and join a union, disgruntled employees occasionally resorted to using bombs and bullets to make themselves heard.
In politics clarity is its own opportunity. The storm of the 2024 election has created great clarity. The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, and 3rd richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos, are currently asking a group of Trump judges to end the right to organize & join a union in the United States.

I’m blown away by how fucking supportive & awesome everyone is over here.
I have heard from a lot of people that it feels as though our side has given up.
That no one is standing up and saying FIGHT.
I hear you.
But I’m also HERE.
Saying FIGHT.
We. Must. Keep. Moving. Forward.
So, let’s fucking go.
