Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

The Lagoon Nebula (M8) is a star-forming cloud of gas 4,000 light-years away in Sagittarius. Spanning 55 light-years, it was discovered in 1654 by Italian astronomer Giovanni Battista Hodierna. Hubble captured this stunning view in 2018.

I would like to personally thank Kansas Republican representatives for choosing to not expand Medicaid, which has resulted in the loss of my medical coverage. I also appreciate the ACA gap in coverage. I'm too poor to qualify for a Marketplace discount. Cool.

She showed up, not only voted but also spoke out against the GOP budget proposal with Sam, who turned 1 month old today, in her hands.
