NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities

McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

Be sure to register to vote if you haven’t. NPR has the information you need.

If you are registered, check to make sure you’re still active & not purged. Check periodically. Your state’s Secretary of State (SoS) may have a portal for this.

American consumers should get a rebate check from the US government for all the tariffs we paid, with interest.

She’s making it happen, y’all.

@jasmineforus.bsky.social is activating non-voters just like she said she would.

They aren’t spending billions of dollars on detention camps to leave them empty.

They either aren’t planning on deporting people, or they intend to fill the camps with someone else.

The Trump administration restored the Philadelphia slavery exhibit after judge set Friday deadline. Let’s be clear, they never should have been removed in the first place.

This is the pattern: Trump tries to erase the history, gets caught, then quietly β€œrestores” it.

Closely related to what’s going on in science.
We are not going to be able to divorce science from universitiesβ€”thinking and talent and ideas can’t be created for science in outside institutions if universities shrivelβ€” and the path forward is to work together to defend them and promote education.
