This morning, I was at Pearl’s Bagels eating a bagel and lox, chatting with the lady behind me about the war. Her three-year-old chimed in and said that Trump was vastly underestimating the geopolitical consequences that will reverberate from another war in the Middle East.

If you have a friend—perhaps even a congressman—spreading the lie that Trump has been trying to keep us safe from Iranian nukes, send them this. Maybe they learn better through music. Obama had Iran's nuclear program caged—but Israel wanted a forever war.

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.

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer. (I didn’t take the video, the dog’s person did)
Please share with your colleagues. This is another psycho that should not be employed by ICE. Exhibit to be used in Kristi Noem's impeachment trial. bsky.app/profile/raws...
Video of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent threatening to "erase" a resident in Minnesota caught fire on social media this week.
"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." Meet 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨 𝐆𝐨𝐧𝐳𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐳, an ICE Deportation Officer from Miami, FL (originally from Puerto Rico). Gonzalez has lived in Miami and Hollywood, FL. He decided it would be fun to travel to Miami to kidnap and threaten people. #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE
I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.
This video footage is from the ICE Baltimore Field Office located at 31 Hopkins Plaza in Baltimore, Maryland.
It’s really rich to hear MAGA’s lecture others not to be armed at a protest. On January 6th they brought guns, bear spray, flag poles, and other weapons to theirs.
"It wasn't Hitler, Goebbels, or Himmler who deported me, beat me, and shot my family. It was the shoemaker, the milkman, the neighbor, who were given a uniform and then thought they were the master race." -Karl Stojka, Auschwitz survivor
A note to all the celebrities, athletes, and CEOs who are too afraid to speak out in the current climate: We don’t need you. But we will remember your silence in this moment.
Thank you to everyone who has been so generous either donating or sharing the fundraiser — you are what America can look like at our best.
Mr. Pretti carried a legal gun. I want to hear from the republicans who ranted for years about the second amendment being a vital protection against government overreach and tyranny. Guess what. The overreach is here. The tyranny is here. And nothing but crickets from republicans.
People need to stop saying 7 Democrats voted to fund this. Say that the entire party cut a deal to do the funding and let some members pretend to object. Make them prove that this is false.
"Only criminals carry guns" Wow. The Turd Reich is coming for your guns. Their whole mantra is "obey or die". We told you this was coming. ~AdminMatt

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
