I want to know Secretary Noem's plan to stop masked ICE and CBP agents from killing American citizens like Renee Good and Alex Pretti. We can enforce our immigration laws without terrorizing American citizens and immigrant communities.

People who believe in an imminent Rapture/Armageddon don't have anything invested in what happens to you here on Earth. You are irrelevant to them and will be treated accordingly.

American soldiers are being killed because the president doesn’t want you to know that he raped little children for decades. And if I’m wrong, sue me, asshole.

You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.

And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.

When a patient is prepped, consented, and in a hospital bed, the only thing that should matter is her medical decision, not a religious directive.

No one’s β€œsacred fertility” should override a competent adult’s right to control their own body.

The judges in WV have seen enough.

They say that if the ICE continues detaining people in ways they have unanimously deemed illegal they will start issuing civil fines and contempt findings β€” including against state officials who help them carry it out.

Just want to note that 3am in Washington is like 11:30am in Tehran. The American people are the ones he snuck up on in the dead of night to conduct this illegal attack, not the purported enemy.

I think @normative.bsky.social made this point yesterday, but once you get beyond the outrage of the brutality of the original β€œarrest” here, you also have to confront the fact that a D.A. CHOSE TO PROSECUTE THIS and a judge SENTENCED HIM TO A YEAR IN JAIL. Total system fail. WTF

Moderna says U.S. FDA will review its new flu vaccine after all | CBC News Moderna says the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has agreed to review its influenza β€Œvaccine, reversing an earlier decision to reject the application, following modifications from the company.

Thank you, whomever pushed to make this finally happen. Dr. Peter Hotez made some very good points about the chilling effects of a capricious FDA on all scientific innovation.

RIP Quintin Chambers sensei, β€˜33-2026. He was my jodo teacher, a decent, powerful, interesting man. We had wonderful conversations over morning coffee about life, gods, philosophy, martial arts. He was a force of nature, a Donn Draeger companion, and a sailor and linguist. He is and will be missed.
