I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

I want to be clear: this is what American prisons are like. I spent years posting about the humanitarian crisis in U.S. prisons. The criminal legal system consigns Americans who are incarcerated to live like this FOR YEARS. DECADES.

I don't think anyone outside of universities, pharma and biotech, independent research institutions have any idea of what is happening right now. If you haven't sounded the alarm among your friends, family and colleagues, now is the time to do it.
 quote on a dark blue and purple background from Sudip S. Parikh, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), criticizing proposed cuts to science funding in the FY26 U.S. federal budget. The quote reads:

“If enacted, the FY26 budget request would end America’s global scientific leadership. The cuts to science would imperil our nation’s future health, security and prosperity. This budget proposal stands in stark contrast to the President’s call for a renewed commitment to American scientific leadership. Congress has demonstrated a bipartisan commitment to investment in research and must do so again to answer the President’s call.”
The quote is attributed to Sudip S. Parikh, CEO of AAAS and Executive Publisher of the Science family of journals. The AAAS logo appears at the bottom right.

Dear Mrs. Wilson,
I'm writing to inform you that your name appears on a list of individuals and groups "in the U.S. impeding aid to Ukraine" published by a Ukrainian non-governmental organization (NGO) called the Data Journalism Agency (TEXTY), which has worked with the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
As you may be aware, other Ukrainian NGOs have published similar lists, which have published the personal information of those named in apparent attempts to intimidate them.
I have enclosed a copy of a letter that I sent to Appropriations Committee Chairman Cole as well as State and Foreign Operations Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Mario Diaz Balart, urging them to stop the State Department and USAID from partnering with any actors overseas who encourage the harassment of Americans. The Appropriations Committee's markup of its bill to fund the State Department and USAID during Fiscal Year 2025 is scheduled to take place tomorrow.
I appreciate your attention to this serious matter.
Sincerely,
34338161571
