Scientists in Atlanta were stopped from criticizing the Trump admin at a scientific conference, so let me do it here: Trump is destroying biomedical research in America, and it will take decades to get back on track.  Spread the word. Stand up for science.

Explains ICE pretty well: "Their study...found that low performers ('career-pressured' individuals) filled the ranks of the secret police. That service allowed them to 'detour' around the ordinary military hierarchy achieving promotions and career success they could never have managed otherwise."

Ukraine is currently stepping up its retaliatory strikes against Russia. Oil refineries deep within Russian territory are being targeted. The Sea of Azov is also increasingly coming under fire. According to Ukrainian reports, 11 Russian ships have now been hit in drone attacks.

Attacks on tankers, Strait of Hormuz is closed again & the latest US strikes against Iran are a growing concern in the Gulf about an escalation & its consequences for global trade. Isn't it about time the international community put more pressure on the Trump instead of constantly kissing their ass?

After announcing a fee for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz,Trump has once again backed away from the idea.Instead, he now considers trade & investment agreements with Gulf states.US military strikes against targets in Iran continued overnight, a diplomatic solution is still not in sight.

This week is going to be stupid. Next week will be worse, and the week after that even worse..., and then we will have elections. The days after that, it'll be so bad that we will miss these days.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo Joan Sebastian Guerrero Ruben Ray Martinez Alex Pretti Renee Good Dozens of other innocent lives. These deaths aren’t mistakes. They’re the result of choices. Policy choices. Funding choices. Choices to not hold this Administration accountable. It’s time to SHUT. IT. DOWN!

BREAKING A THIRD DEATH! 🚨 ICE & DHS terrorize our communities to the point where a 28-year-old flees in absolute panic and gets killed by a semi-truck in St. Augustine FL. This blood is on their hands. Weaponizing fear kills. When will we end this horrific, state-sanctioned violence?!

www.nytimes.com/2026/07/11/b... The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects,” said David McCraw (Times Lawyer).
