ICE is still refusing to follow through on its pledge to equip its officers with body cameras. Their goal is without body camera footage, accountability becomes much harder. If you witness an interaction, remember to keep your camera rolling and document what you can safely.
Cause and effect: Republicans in Congress voted last summer to cut food stamp budgets by nearly $200 billion. Now more children and families are going hungry in America.
The satellite that watches the eastern United States for storms went blind for 20 hours in July. NOAA cannot yet say why. Its backup sits weeks away from taking over. This is what a warning system looks like after the people who ran it were cut and its research arm marked for the axe.
Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊
Watching ICE agents literally run away from a Mount Laurel Starbucks without their coffee because the neighborhood completely rejected them is pure gold. South Jersey will make you unwelcome every single time you show your faces.
to hear Trump tell it, American elections were completely corrupted while he was president and he was helpless to stop it, then they were cleaned up by Biden ahead of Trump's victory in 2024, and now that Trump is president again they are once again becoming third world caliber
Thanks to Republicans in Congress and Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill"... An Indiana 40-year old, making $65k per year, who last year was paying $316/month for health insurance, will next year be paying $546/month for that same plan: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The AC is out at ICE's detention facility in Newark, where it currently feels like 107 degrees. Detainees say not even the ventilation is working, and that the water is dirty. Health inspectors recently tried to inspect the facility. They were turned away. www.nj.com/politics/202...

Raise your hand if you are suspicious about the reported increase in jobs and stable employment rate. I have confidence in the legacy workers at #BLS but not so much in the claims about #jobs numbers and the #unemployment rate.
So remind me…those #Epstein files? Or are they the #Trump files? We get to see them when…? #EpsteinFiles #TrumpFiles #TrumpEpstein
Trump staged an insurrection the last time he had to leave the White House. Now he wants a vanity ballroom, complete with a bunker, sniper tower, and drone port. Maybe it's time Congress and the courts start taking his walking coup attemp seriously.
But hey, at least they’re hosting a UFC match on the South Lawn.

So…got an email of appreciation from a student who said I had fueled their passion for racial inequality. I think they meant STUDYING racial inequality? I hope... #academiclife #teaching #facultylife
