Imagine this: On the evening of March 8, you and your spouse unlock the door to your apartment building. As you step inside, two men—not in uniform—push their way in behind you. They tell you your visa has been revoked and that they are there to deport you.

Trump and his American oligarchs are now openly aligning themselves with Putin and his Russian oligarchs. This Putin-Trump alliance means abandoning our allies, supporting authoritarianism and undermining our democratic traditions.

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

They don’t want you to know your rights. And that’s exactly why you need to. Former ICE director and current Border Czar Tom Homan is threatening AOC for holding a Know Your Rights training—literally just educating people about their constitutional rights. youtube.com/shorts/ujXq_...

Big Pharma wants a blank check. They’re hiking drug prices and trying to gut the negotiating power that keeps costs down for workers and families. Don’t let them get away with it. Read more about it here: bit.ly/4gu5A86

Elon Musk demanded the FAA Chief resign after he tried to fine SpaceX for safety breaches. Now Musk is shutting down a $40BN agency which is investigating his company’s equipment. USAID webpages on its Starlink investigation have disappeared. Right out of the Russia playbook.

THIS IS A BLATANT LIE AND A DISGRACE TO THE MEMORIES OF THE VICTIMS. While emergency responders are still recovering peoples' loved ones from the freezing water, Trump is using these families' pain for POLITICS by blaming their deaths on DEI. A total failure of leadership.

This is how a dictator acts.   Sending 30K migrants to Guantanamo—a place w/ repeated human rights violations—is an attempt to evade our legal system & act in the shadows hundreds of miles away.   REMINDER—the U.S. affords weaker due process/legal rights for people detained there.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
