Just as Trump took a wrecking ball to the East Wing of the Whitehouse, he is doing the same to our democracy everyday.

What Happens After We Die? UVA Researchers Are Investigating It. When our bodies perish, can our consciousness persist? At the University of Virginia, researchers are searching for answers, one near-death experience at a time.

By expanding the practice of forced relocation, Trump is using migrants as currency in a global network of geopolitical negotiation. His administration is normalizing the use of vulnerable people as bargaining chips to extract better deals with friends and foes.

As a parent an autistic adult, we know the script of #RFK Jr's supposed cause of #autism will play out.
1) he will blame vaccines
2) more parents will not vaccinate their children
3) more children and adults will die of preventable diseases
4) a decade from now autism rates will be the same.

What could go wrong? Selling legal permanent residence in the US for $5million dollars. This image from the Washington Post says it all. This is not serious immigration policy, it is a stunt.

Opinion | An Interactive Map of Global Migration Dive into a new data set released by Meta, charting immigration flows among 181 countries over four years.

Using data from Meta (Facebook and Instagram) new maps of human mobility are created. Definitely worth a look. It conveys that most countries are producing and receiving migrants.

"Although it has some historical precedent, the Trump administration’s mandate for registration has one distinct contrast with prior uses. Unlike in the past, this is not a time of active warfare, nor has there been an attack on U.S. soil akin to 9/11. The new requirement is designed to collect information the government does not already have and will contribute to the chilling effect on unauthorized immigrant communities. Given already stepped-up enforcement and a general anxiety among unauthorized immigrants nationwide, it remains to be seen how many people will register."

As of today, several million immigrants in the US—incl. some with legal status—must register with the federal government or face possible consequences

It’s the latest iteration of a security authority previously used after 9/11 and during the Cold War era

Quote the Washington Post today.

“Musk took to X on Sunday to brand USAID a “criminal organization” and called for its death. As of Sunday afternoon, the agency’s website is inaccessible.”

How can such an unhinged and unelected person have so much power?

Thanks Austin for being able to explain the chaos and the consequences of Trump's actions. Unfortunately, there is much work ahead.

Biden Says Equal Rights Amendment Has Passed, but Does Not Force Certification President Biden’s remarks were largely a symbolic gesture of support for a century-long campaign to enshrine gender equality into the Constitution. But advocates said they could add heft to a future l...

So close for equal rights for women. Enough states ratified the ERA amendment but Biden does not force certification. A shameful loss of a once-in-a-lifetime constitutional amendment to underscore equal protection under the law.
