Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.
Bring back *everyone* who was sent from the U.S. to CECOT in El Salvador. *No one* should be sent there. ALL their rights were violated. ALL of them should come home.
"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..."

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at McMaster University have discovered a NEW peptide antibiotic that targets a broad range of disease-causing bacteria INCLUDING those RESISTANT to existing antibiotics. This discovery marks the first potential new class of antibiotics in NEARLY 30 YEARS. 🧪🧵⬇️
We are not talking enough about the epidemic of #Indigenous deaths during police interactions. From Aug. 30 to Dec. 14, 2024, 15 Indigenous people died, either in police custody or in police interactions. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti... via @theglobeandmail.com #policing #racism
Curious that all the places Trump wants to annex would be geographically convenient for a Russian partner in annexation.

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.
Well, I was going to write today about Trump throwing our allies and democratic values under the bus for Putin...then GOP said they'll cut Medicaid, so I wanted to write about that...now Trump is coming out and saying he's King after quoting Napoleon a few days ago...

The symmetry between Germany-Czechoslovakia in 1938 and Russia-Ukraine in 2022 is uncanny, and pausing for a moment on the resemblances might help us to take a broader view of today.

These are research grants awarded through evaluation of their merits by scientific peers, in which the investigators are carrying out important, ground-breaking work. They're being targeted because, as required by NSF guidelines, they include some investment in benefits for the broader community.
Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority.
Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness.

You say: they shutdown USAID.
You mean: they illegally broke in to a secure facility over a weekend, hijacked sensitive data on vulnerable people and US businesses, destroyed property Americans paid for, cut off resources for sick and hungry families, and fired Americans across the country.
The logic of the coup that is going on now. And how to resist it.

The corporate coup is global.
Trump's mad tariffs do not mark the end of neoliberalism or free trade or whatever you want to call it.

They do not believe in the public. They believe in their wealth.
Conflicted about the US-Canada fight. I'm registered with a Canadian First Nation, and enrolled in a US tribe. Our culture straddles the border. So, fully boycotting the US isn't an option. These countries are both foreign impositions on us. Both have harmed us. But obviously one is worse. 1

Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they *can* talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them."
I love many, many things about this paper, but Venus being referred to as 'Earth's evil twin' might be top of the list 😂
