πŸ”Š Listen Now: What you need to know about Sen. Markwayne Mullin, Trump's new pick to lead DHS All Things Considered on NPR One | 3:58

β€œWe want the ICE agents to enforce the nation’s laws, why? Because we’re a nation that enforces laws and we don’t want to be a lawless nation.”

Meet the uber articulate Markwayne Mullin πŸ˜€πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ˜€πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

Seriously, that was not a β€œscuffle” or β€œaltercation” that was straight up a pathetic politician committing assault and battery by breaking the arm of a marine in uniform because he couldn’t handle some words of dissent

As a non Texan this is super helpful!

Exactly, they write as though there is not video documentation of the entire violent assault from the marine’s arm being slammed/trapped in the door to the sound of actual breaking which made my stomach turn to a woman screaming β€œhis arm” so Sheehy finally looks and says β€œLET GO OF THE DOOR!”

This is such a crushing and important insight, I appreciate that you shared it πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’”

That’s disappointing to say the least. Keep us posted. Wishing you all the best for their safe return.

You’re son too though!! Are you able to be in contact at least? It’s astonishing the lack of any semblance of competence coming from this admin, it’s so dangerous!

My entire 3 seconds of celebration over Crenshaw’s defeat was shattered by the thought that somehow Toth might be even a more horrible human…

Of the countless unlawful, immoral, shady aspects of the U.S. CHOOSING to start a war with #Iran (for no reason anyone in the admin has or apparently can clearly articulate), this might be the biggest failure of all. America first and they won’t even support citizens in getting home. JFC.

As a professor and mom I cannot imagine how terrifying this is for everyone from so many different angles. The state department chose this war, get Americans the hell out FFS!!!!!!

Sen. Tammy Duckworth: "If there was ever a time for Republicans to find their spines, it's now, when the Commander in Chief readily admits that he is choosing to put our troops' lives at risk without a legitimate imminent threat to our homeland or our citizens."

Such a powerful description of what inclusion IS and the elements of trust, care, dignity, humanity, and respect that need to be present in order for it to thrive, and how BAFTA/BBC failed. I love how she starts and ends with the love she has for her colleagues and the art they made together πŸ’ͺ🏼🫢🏼

Great work! As a life long terrible speller, spelling bees bring back visceral memories, I feel like I’d sweat it out watching my own kid!

The President has launched our nation and our great military into a war of choice, risking American lives and resources, ignoring American law, and endangering our allies and partners. It does nothing to help with the urgent problems here at home that Americans face every day.

Yes! My NSF CAREER grant was terminated and was in an info session for rapid response funding w/ ~50 ppl, just on this one zoom! So many NIH researchers studying cancer, AIDS in adolescents, mental health for foster youth, the most pressing issues!! Congrats on your baby, great source of grounding!

Joking aside, as a scientist it’s horrific and devastating
