71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

The hearing for this bill is scheduled for September 17, 2025. We can not let this bill be introduced to Congress. We must shut it down or the choice of leaving the United States legally will be swept out from underneath us.

Marco Rubio has introduced a bill that would allow the US government to veto and revoke US passports. So, if you’re BIPOC and they just don’t like you, they can revoke your passport at any time. You won’t even be able to escape from being sent to a random prison camp overseas at that point.

#NIH is hanging by a thread. The #CDC has been decimated. #RFK Jr. and Russell #Vought are psychopaths--I don't say this frivolously--they are cold, calculating, inflicting violence on millions through public policy. It is where we are right now. These men are not normal. 1/

UPDATE:

Our living database now includes 1,267 controlled vaccine trials - 501 with inert (mostly saline) placebos - involving 9.36 million participants.

And MANY more studies to add.

Grateful to the incredible team making it possible. 🙏

Happy Birthday, Rosalind Franklin. She captured an X-ray diffraction image of DNA and stated that a helical structure was probable. Watson and Crick then created a detailed model based on her results. They initially received credit for the discovery and were awarded the Nobel Prize after her death.🧪

This video speaks to me so well. I strive to be the best ally possible, but sometimes don't know what to say. Knowing that just wearing Pride clothes, items, pins, etc. makes such a difference motivates me to do it more.

I may not have the best speeches to give, but I'm with everyone. Love is Love
It is such a powerful affirmation of shared humanity to feel safe, seen, and understood. This is what love looks like.

BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands.

It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.
