When you hear certain people say "1 in 4 Americans don't trust scientists", keep in mind that: * 3 out of 4 Americans do trust scientists * The concerted efforts to politicize and dismantle American leadership in science are having effects, but perhaps not as much as those leading them would like.

Imagine kidnapping people off the street in broad daylight and thinking you're the "good guys". People who are at work, at their kids' school or otherwise minding their business. Imagine shooting people with rubber bullets because they want it to stop and thinking you're the "good guys". 🤔😑

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

As Trump plans mass deployments of ICE in Chicago, a car just sped through a group of protesters. I was at the Federal Plaza protest. It was PEACEFUL. This violence and chaos are what Trump, his masked thugs, and the people who support mass deportations stand for.
In a picture from behind, I'm holding a sign reading, "ABOLISH ICE / SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY". Standing on all sides of me are protesters holding signs like "STOP RACIST DEPORTATIONS / KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER" and "EL PUEBLO DICE / ICE FUERA".

As the military starts participating in mass removal campaigns, remember that soon the Senate will vote on a spending bill that will heap $150B into Trump's deportation machine so he can scale up.. fast. Includes $45B for detention centers with additional funding for tens of thousands of new agents.

An HSI federal agent pointed a rifle with live ammunition at a protester and was taunting him. We're at the point where protesters may be shot and killed by ICE.

Thinking today about what a bad idea it is to wage war on your own biggest cities, as the U.S. habitually does. Obviously this is multifactorial — constitutional landholder privilege, suburbanization, whole lotta racism — but it still feels remarkably self-defeating.

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling. Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.

The most striking thing about the LA protests is how many people just dropped everything to show up and yell at federal agents. There are people in suits, and carrying dogs, and wearing flip flops or bike helmets. These are not people who planned to do this today. But there they are.

one reason for this is how few US newsrooms are willing to interview and hire immigrant and international journalists due to legal costs for work visas, and how often non-white immigrant perspectives are considered 'bias' instead of expertise

ICE isn’t rounding up migrants at Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ meatpacking plants. They're provoking riots in Los Angeles. I wonder, is this provocation laying the groundwork for a pretext to declare martial law? And then I remember all those many tanks shipped to DC, the home of so many protests.
