This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

There are plenty of major corporations in Minneapolis alone. They had better start speaking out quickly. And then they would be happy to see some of those lawyers.
It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.
Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

Of course. This should not surprise anyone.

Half the US Senate needs to study this.
The old constitutional order is gone, and we should be straightforward about that. It’s becoming obvious that, whatever else is on the reconstruction agenda, ICE abolition must be included.

ICE threw a flash bang at a car and it had six kids in it.
All six children are in the hospital now.

Yes, I've seen this, too.
Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

Not even if you live in a red state. How many of your businesses are now severely short on workers?
Today, it’s not your vote that determines whether the government brutalizes you or sends officers to your door. It’s your neighbors’ vote.
If you’re ok with this happening to Minnesotans, don’t get comfortable. You won’t be exempt for long.
In the end, a lawless administration comes for everyone.

That would be nice. Let's include everyone else, too. Add a 6-week training session on what "probable cause" means.

Reporter: Renee Good was shot in the head and killed by an ICE Agent.
Leavitt: Why was she killed?
Reporter: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably

They steal property from victims and sell it!
Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.
Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.
Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

Yep. That was an explosion.

Dear God. War never stops in Ukraine, and my country is worried about how best to protest. Let's get our job done so that we can attend to other matters of our own planet's national defense.

I can't imagine that Greenlanders want a paltry bribe in exchange for the land and their heritage. Trump never pays but a pittance for anything, no matter how much he wants it. Meanwhile, some Americans are dying from inadequate nutrition and medical care.

Just like putin gives up on his "partners" and "allies", his own "partners" and accomplices (both from abroad and his inner circle), will give up on him.
