The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office.
The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

Where are the resignations from ICE and CBP??? I guarantee you there are at least *some* who know this is wrong but arectaking the path of least resistance (“following orders”). They need to step down and speak up
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
Here’s one video shared with us of the state-ordered execution. The man was beaten in the head with a gun, shot once, then shot five more times while on the ground. State-ordered executions continue.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.
Amazing northern lights in Minnesota tonight!

Over/under Trump will pardon the lot of them?

What we have is an appropriations king.
Spending “deals” are meaningless under that setup.
Best way to reduce crime in DC is for Trump to resign and leave town.
This is true for doctor/patient as well.
This is a big one! Will help patients avoid financial toxicity.
This is a big deal. Financial toxicity is a major barrier to access for many patients. This will help.

Many others are posting abt this too but this graphic viscerally shows how dire the presidential budget is for NASA 🔭🧪and worldwide astronomy. I can’t express how sad this makes me, as an American scientist. And it’s mostly already paid for projects, so also no logic in terms of saving money.
