The stage of deterioration where gangs of large (mostly) white men just publicly assault people who seem to be brown because they're brown in the hopes of doing far more harm to them in the name of the state. Glad this one escaped.

SCOTUS: We stopped Affirmative Action to ban targeting based on race, but we allow legacy admissions, white Afrikaaner "refugees," targeting of Latinos, over-policing Black communities, & bans on Afghan refugees and South Korean workers—because its okay to target based on race to help white people.

It was great in London!

Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

MIGRANTS AREN'T THE PROBLEM INEQUALITY IS Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage.

Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants.

Don't fall for it.

Hi, immunologist here:

(a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes)

RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”

That’s NOT how immunology works.

He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

GOOD NEWS! For the FIRST time ever, and after MORE THAN 30 YEARS of HIV vaccine clinical trials, researchers have developed a vaccine that has SUCCESSFULLY generated TIER 2 broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) against HIV and BLOCKS viral infection in vaccinated PEOPLE.

Down, down to hell, and say I sent thee thither⁠

My friend who is an Iraq war veteran was out tonight walking his dog in DC and came up on this scene – with federal agents, including secret service, hassling a citizen and violating his rights while intimidating the public

One thing I know for sure is that if *I* called the cops and said “some guy just threw a sandwich at me” they would consider me to be a huge baby and think I was wasting their time.

holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second

Clearly this is not about making DC, or any of us, safer.

If a vendor wants to refuse Alan Dershowitz a pierogi that’s their pierogitive.

DHS has arrested two medical personnel at a surgical center in California for demanding that the officers trespassing in their building identify themselves & provide a warrant, accusing them of another.... wait for it... ASSAULT. The case shows how DHS lies relentlessly to violate the Constitution

Don't make me reach for my Katuna.

At a 60 hr vigil for Medicaid. The candles represent the over 800,000 people who could lose Medicaid. Congress' reconciliation bill will likely result in almost $1 trillion being stolen. And all to allow billionaires and millionaires to continue to steal money from the most vulnerable.

Migrants at Ice jail in Miami made to kneel to eat ‘like dogs’, report alleges Incident in which migrants were shackled with hands tied of one succession of alleged abuses at jails in Florida

This should be the top story in the WaPo and NYT but no mention.
Human Rights Watch report on guards.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

From a Semafor article about the New York Times's decision to print an article—multiple articles, actually—on Zohran Mamdani's college application. "The fact that this story engendered all the conversation and debate that it has feels like all the evidence you need that this was a legit line of reporting," one senior reporter told Semafor.

Legitimate reporting and illegitimate reporting both engender conversation and debate.

But while legitimate reporting inspires conversation about a story's substance, illegitimate reporting inspires questions like "Why did the newspaper print this garbage?"

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
