The thing where ICE parks masked men in school lots is something I would not have believed unless I saw it with my own two eyes. They do it constantly. It’s purely a terror tactic and they’ve done it to schools over the region. Our schools are collapsing - often at 50% attendance or less.
NEW: Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health, his school superintendent told me today www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...
I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.
Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.
I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.
I need to share with you what I saw.
Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.
The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Excited to see this paper out in Biological Psychiatry! It highlights that emotional pain and fear represent distinct PTSD dimensions, leading us closer to identifying PTSD subtypes with dissociable biological underpinnings. Congrats on leading the charge on this cool study @zivbenzion.bsky.social

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.
But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.
Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.
Full meeting program here (neuroeconomics.org/program/) if you find yourself in the Boston area, please come say hi 😊 #sne2025
My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?"
Turns out, mom was right.

Thousands of Israelis stayed home from work, flooded city streets and blocked roads and highways across the country on Sunday, staging some of the largest anti-war protests in months as the military prepares for a major assault on Gaza City. wapo.st/4mvMVfK
RFK Jr. put out a document justifying pulling $500M from mRNA research. It was assembled by a dentist, not a virologist. The "science" he refers to was not systematic review of the research.
He cited work that CONTRADICTED his views.
More reason to oust him.

Super excited to share this new work from the lab! We show that oxytocin infusion in the amygdala sustains prosocial behavior via state-dependent amygdala-prefrontal modulation

Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets across Israel to protest against the Netanyahu government’s plan to expand its military operation in the Gaza Strip.
The Trump Administration is cracking down on families who are part of our community.
It is shameful and cruel🧵(1/4)
The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.
Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

“Here, too, powerful people are responding to authoritarian advances just as their Hungarian counterparts have — not with defiance, but with capitulation, convinced that they can maintain their independence and stay above the fray.”
This applies to scientific and academic leaders too. 🧪

Over 1100 Israeli academics urge the heads of Israeli universities and colleges to "mobilize the full weight of Israeli academia to stop the Israeli war in #Gaza", acknowledging "a horrifying litany of war crimes and even crimes against humanity, all of our own doing."
“This will destroy the university as we know it. Harvard is situated in the US physically, but its students & faculty hail from around the world; that is fundamental to the work & mission of the institution. You can't take that away & have an institution left."
— Kirsten Weld, President Harvard AAUP
