Marietta is the biggest local law enforcement agency in metro Atlanta to sign up to date, expanding the program’s reach into the state’s most immigrant-heavy region.
Director Bhattacharya spending more time on podcasts, this time taking about not renewing grants NIH was forced to restore.

I keep seeing video after video of ICE agents assaulting or attempting to assault young women in New Orleans.
It’s past the time to stand up, but the opportunities are dwindling! Better late than never. 🧵

MAHA is all marketing and a distraction.
It wants to tackle poor air and water quality but the EPA just got defunded.
It wants to promote healthy eating, but the admin gutted SNAP benefits that would do just that.
Biggest killer of kids? Guns. Totally silent on that.

Beautifully articulated, @noellemcafee.net . Thank you for your leadership!
Completely agree. It’s absolutely outrageous that nobody stood up for @yamiche.bsky.social — media spinelessness has played a major role in how we got here.
NYT headline: As Congress Lies Town, Trump Walks All Over it. Subhed: He Seizes Power in Spending, Oversight, and National Security, While Republicans Shrug.
Now this is a headline.
Front page lead in NYT.
And very strong, no-BS story by @julianbarnes.bsky.social Barnes and Catie Edmondson.

This was painful to write. I hate that Emory’s new interim president, on her second day of office, just last week, called for abolishing DEI programs at Emory.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.
What’s happening in Fulton County Georgia right now impacts all of us when we go to the polls in 2026 and 2028. We owe it to ourselves & our country to stay informed. joycevance.substack.com/p/five-quest...

Alt text: A tweet from Pete Hegseth reads: “Pronouns UPDATED: She/Her/Fired.” Below is a screenshot of a post by Libs of TikTok saying: “Yikes. This she/her Navy Commander is apparently a medical director for ‘transgender healthcare’ at a Naval center in California. Can you please look into this? @PeteHegseth @DODResponse.” The image shows a Navy officer’s profile with a rainbow background, pronouns listed as “She/Her,” and the role described as “Deputy Medical Director for Transgender Healthcare.” Red boxes highlight the pronouns and the words “Transgender Healthcare.”
This is the digital stasi. Social media influencers utilizing tips from followers for content that they monetize while working with state actors to target the people they want.
It's all a spectacle packaged as content. Destroying people's lives for profitable ideological bloodsport.
Refusing to "trust the experts" is meant to be a brave, responsible position.
But (as Carl explains in the thread) there is too much knowledge in the world. You have to trust *somebody*, much of the time.
If you have no trust in experts, you end up trusting the idiots.
Phang: The Constitution says representatives shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons.
It doesn’t say you’re only supposed to count U.S. citizens.
Trump says you’ve got to redo the census but can’t include “illegals”? Tough shit—the Constitution says otherwise.
I have an incentive for rich people like you @mcuban.bsky.social
Federally funded R&D has fueled the innovation that drives American prosperity. Scores of billionaires owe their fortunes to advancements made in labs across the nation.
An investment in @standupforscience.bsky.social to help save…
good, because it is also not what I am saying.
also, racism is not 'whatever', and I dare say more of a contributing factor then you might be supposing
Trying to understand what happened is fair/warranted/essential and I hope democratic leaders are acting on those insights. Responsible discourse is something we can all contribute to. I respect your voice, we should all have one, but I disagree 'Harris promising more of the same' is the lesson here.
No, I missed the 70% qualifier. I would also stand by having a stable democracy as ‘good’, which I think was the case before January of this year.
Aren’t they telling us everything is great (and healthy) now? I appreciate the sentiment but far too simplistic, if not grossly so in particular to say Harris promised more of the same. Inflation WAS going down …. It’s not a democrat pres. campaign that is the reason for the free fall into fascism
"Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who oversees the CDC, did not make a statement the day of the shooting.
Late the following morning, more than 30 minutes after posting photos of fishing with his family, Kennedy posted condolences on his official X account..."
