BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.

This is a major win for public health.

One attorney, Lizbeth Mateo, said ICE officials slated several of her clients for check-ins at the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building in downtown L.A. but when they showed up on Tuesday, they were detained and immediately escorted to the basement. Mateo said a couple and their two children, one of whom is a U.S. citizen, spent the night in a room with no beds and limited access to food and water. Mateo said the father had previously been issued a stay of removal, barring him from deportation but he and his family were detained anyway. His wife was released Wednesday evening along with their children since she needed medical attention due to a high-risk pregnancy. He was still being detained early Friday, Mateo said.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles.

Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

And #freepalestine

The man who threw a molotov cocktail into a crowd of Israeli's is obviously guilty of a hate crime if not a terrorist. The man who shot Jonathan Joss, will he be charged with a hate crime?

Is it just the ones who are inside someone’s womb?

Asking for a friend.

ICE is the American Gestapo

Instead of investing in things that work, like universal pre-k (Tennessee Republicans block TN Dems’ bill every year), they cut billions in taxes for corporations and don’t let anyone see who benefits.

Priorities. A budget is a moral document.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Our economy is far larger than it was decades ago.

Where have most of the gains gone? To the top.

Any path forward must include a fight to restructure the economy toward more widely shared prosperity.

This isn’t a blue state vs. red state phenomenon. It’s a class phenomenon.

CARTOON OF THE DAY #2 🇺🇸

(From @adamzyglis.bsky.social )

y’all are wild

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.

If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.

We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

is that bad? Seems bad

Love you. What is the plan for this momentum? I want to support the cause but am a single mother. What is the plan?

I guess we have different algorithms

If we let Trump privatize the U.S. Postal Service, our mail in ballots will never make it! Make sure you let your Congressmen and women know that’s a big fucking NO.

But what is the plan? What course of action do they have for this momentum? People I admire say they are just showboating asking for more money. To what end? We need a true revolution.
