Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

Is there anyone tracking the outed white supremacist / neo-Nazi connections within TPUSA / Young Republicans / GOP staffers?

This Day in Labor History: August 19, 1987. The AFL-CIO called off its long-standing boycott against Coors beer, one of the more iconic boycotts in American history and one that reminds us what a loathsome family the Coors brood remain!!

My latest article for @coloradonewsline.com takes a look at the Colorado Rapid Response Network, which has amassed about 3,000 volunteers to document ICE operations. I’m grateful to everyone who spoke to me. I also translated the article into Spanish!

The Colorado Rapid Response Network runs a 24/7 hotline and documents ICE sightings throughout Colorado. It has amassed about 3K volunteers. ICE has condemned the network for allegedly interfering with its work, but members say they're protecting local communities.

In my 40s, “a woman who has let herself go” begins to sound less like a tragedy and more like a horse who has finally figured out how to open the gate.

Are you a PI of a federal grant cancelled by the Trump administration?

Please share your info with the Democratic Staff of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, who launched this portal yesterday to track funding cancellations 🔭🧪

📢 Today I was supposed to be in DC, highlighting what the NSF Social, Behavioral, & Economic Sciences delivers to US taxpayers. NSF had one of the highest returns on investment (ROIs) of federal grantors 👏🏻 (1) and NSF SBE funded 63% of US social and psychological science research (2). 🧵

Can confirm that my NSF grant "How False Beliefs Form & How to Correct Them" was cancelled today because it is "not in alignment with current NSF priorities" Shocking that understanding how people are misled by false information is now a forbidden topic. Our work will continue but at a smaller scale
NSF has posted an “update on priorities.”

They’re canceling all “DEI and misinformation/disinformation” grants.

And the guidance on how to fulfill the longstanding, legally mandated Broadening Participation requirement is utterly incoherent.
