After Jailing of Newark Mayor, DHS Official Warns of “More Arrests Coming”

This comes as the administration is also considering suspending habeas corpus. The message is loud and clear: There is no rule of law.

Pope Leo XIV used his first Sunday address to the faithful to call for peace. “Never again war,” he said to a roar from the crowd in St. Peter’s Square.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

What do you call humans being kidnapped and sent to another country to be imprisoned in shackles and forced to perform intense physical labor while living in horrid conditions under the threat of daily physical violence and rape? Open a history book. You can do it. I believe in you.

🚨🚨🚨 Closing Social Security offices! Dammit, it's all hands on deck and where are the Dems? fElon's team works weekends, folks. This is just the beginning... @propublica.org comes through again.

Their first wave of actions — initiating the elimination of 41 jobs and the closing of at least 10 local offices, so far — was largely lost in the rush of headlines. Those first steps might seem restrained compared with the mass firings that DOGE has pursued at other federal agencies. But Social Security recipients rely on in-person service in all 50 states, and the shuttering of offices, reported on DOGE’s website to include locations everywhere from rural West Virginia to Las Vegas, could be hugely consequential. The closures potentially reduce access to Social Security for some of the most vulnerable people in this country — including not just retirees but also individuals with severe physical and intellectual disabilities, as well as children whose parents have died and who’ve been left in poverty.

my view is that as soon as the administration froze disbursement of congressional appropriations we entered constitutional crisis territory

The NEA will no longer fund arts programs that promote DEI or "gender ideology." The federal agency has cancelled grants that have funded programs for underserved communities for more than 20 years.

There’s something very America about the rich old white guy who didn’t do shit holding up the trophy like a hero while standing in front of the Black man who actually did everything.

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie holding up the Vince Lombardi trophy like a winner while Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts stands behind him.

1. Getting word that we have another anti-trans EO tonight, this time targeting teachers. It directs the federal government to work with state AGs to put teachers who use trans kids pronouns in jail through "sexual exploitation" laws or "practicing medicine without a license." From a RW source:

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

On this dark day it's crucial to follow #feminist journalists, activists, scholars, artists, and comics who help us understand our structural problems and offer solutions--roadmaps toward freedom, justice. @veronicaeye.bsky.social & I have you covered! We've worked with or vouch for all #writers 👇

Do not do the devil's work for him. Until there are legally enacted rules under the APA that are upheld by the courts, do not obey in advance. These are meant to intimidate trans people. It won't work. We will not go away or disappear. Deal with it.
