Thank you to the 14 principled members of US Congress who signed this letter to Secretary Noem demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil. Sad that every member of Congress, or at least every Dem, didn't sign this.
Does Trump need to literally light the Constitution on fire before they act?

As I head into work, the existential dread hits me. I’m an ER doctor. Whatever shit hits whatever fan, it will be on my doorstep because we are the safety net. And we are already in tatters after COVID.

I am wondering more and more if the Democratic strategy is to stay silent and let the Republicans own the consequences of their actions, unequivocally, all by themselves.

This weekend, a female at a townhall in Idaho was forcibly removed and zip-tied for asking questions of elected officials. No man supported her. The video is very disturbing.
Watch this be think about what you would have done in the 1930s in Germany…or Saturday.

I haven’t seen this action by #SAEM posted for discussion yet.
Are journals and societies also adjusting or retracting prior research to reflect an executive branch policy « to recognize two sexes, male and female »? Where does it stop?

Donald Trump's executive order stating that there are only 2 genders uses language of #fetalpersonhood. If fully enacted, fetal personhood would give full rights to fetuses, outlawing abortion nationwide, and could treat abortion as murder. Not a coincidence.
