They’re chasing quotas, not criminals!
The former head of Chicago’s immigration court, fired by Trump, is finally speaking out. A new lawsuit accuses the administration of unlawfully targeting documented immigrants who were already showing up to court, just so ICE could hit arrest quotas.
Imagine being disappeared in one dictatorship, making it to America, and then being disappeared again
Only Congress has the power to declare war and our elected officials must take that power back. Urge your senators to use their constitutional authority with the war powers resolution: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...
Then do the same with your representative: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...
This is an insanely reckless move with terrifyingly massive consequences, and it's happening without congressional approval.
Stop the needless, endless war.
No War With Iran
To every member of Congress tonight: We don’t need 200+ words. We need 3 sentences.
1. Trump’s strike on Iran was unauthorized & unconstitutional
2. Congress must reassert its war powers—immediately
3. I support the War Powers Resolutions in the House and Senate
No war with Iran. Full stop.

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.
How stupid do they think we are?
Evangelicals are raised in a religion that demands they acquiesce to an authoritarian.
Whether it’s their father, their pastor, or their president — they are indoctrinated to submit.
‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’

A few months ago, a hacker got into UVA‘s payroll system and managed to steal my January paycheck. UVA and @uvalaw.bsky.social are refusing to reissue me my check and, as far as I know, have done nothing to fix the security lapses.

Tommy Tuberville says his wife's homestead exemption established his residency in Alabama, but election records show both of them voted in Florida after that. And that's only the beginning.
My first postdoc was an NSF funded position at Harvard working with John Huchra on the 2MASS redshift survey - people in that same situation finishing their PhD right now presumably just lost their job.

Such a horrible person.
Crockett: He wants there to be a portion of the budget that goes up to $1 trillion on the defense side. They have failed the very last seven audits. So why would they continue to get raises, which they always do. Yet we're going to hurt the most vulnerable amongst us.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will direct federal health agencies to explore potential new treatments for measles as the U.S. faces its largest outbreak in 25 years. Experts fear the decision could have grave consequences, as studies show the existing vaccine is 97% effective in preventing infection.

NEA withdraws its $25K grant in support of Portland Playhouse’s production of Joe Turner’s Come and Gone
I serve on the board of the Portland Playhouse and I’ve expected that we’d get hit eventually. Joe Turner's Come and Gone by the great August Wilson is a wonderful piece of American art, but it’s not a surprise why the government would not see it that way.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.
She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.
This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.
I’ve seen video of IDF bombing Nasser Hospital, where a friend of mine is on a humanitarian mission to treat patients.
My friend survived the bombing but a teen patient he treated and who was set to go home today was murdered.
Are you warmongers not tired and sick of this yet? This horror
