🚨🗣️⬇️BREAKING: Members of @amdiabetesassn.bsky.social were escorted by police out of the convention center in New Orleans during #ADA2026 as they handed out copies of an editorial criticizing Trump administration changes to U.S. biomedical research. www.medpagetoday.com/special-repo...
Video: Police Tussle With Diabetes Experts at ADA Meeting
Researchers told they could no longer attend the annual scientific sessions

American Diabetes Assocation had police remove some of its very own top officials -- journal editor and ADA past president -- from its conference because those respected scientists criticized Trump's medical research cuts. ADA apparently sides with Trump. Shameful.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 3mo agoThis is an example of a scientific association censoring its members, real scientists, for defending attacks on science. The police were called to remove the scientists for handing out hard copies of this editorial. diabetesjournals.org/care/article...
Breaking: Trump orders the dismantling of the US Forest Service. All regional offices are being shut down and the research program destroyed.

A whistleblower just told Congress that ICE is teaching new recruits to violate the Constitution. They’re telling agents to enter homes and arrest people without a judicial warrant. This war on our American rights and freedoms has to stop.
I have an update on Juan Nicolás, the 2-month-old baby detained at Dilley, and his mother.
DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas. Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe. This demands accountability — not a blank check for more cruelty.

The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.
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)
Silence is complicity. We all need to speak up and say that what ICE is doing is wrong.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.
“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945
ANOTHER ANGLE. This man was NOT brandishing a firearm. He was holding his phone. He then put his body between ICE thugs and woman. He was then sprayed with a chemical agent, tackled, disarmed, and executed. Plain as day. DO NOT let them tell you otherwise.
NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.
I’m the one in the brown hat. What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs. Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car. #AbolishICE
Elliott Payne@elliottpayne.org · 8mo agoThis is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.
Abortion is healthcare.

Let me just say it again: he can’t cancel the midterms. Elections are administered by states. He can’t do it. Stop telling people he can do it. Telling people their votes don’t matter based on absolutely false fantasizing by the demented sociopath is doing the work of voter suppression for him.
This is brutal 🤬 In Minneapolis, an ICE Goon point-blank pepper-sprayed a peaceful protester without any apparent reason. (1/12|26)
