This is such bullshit. Just pure composted dung.

Masked ICE agents hauled workers out of a pizza place in my Massachusetts town today.

Do I feel safer? No, the opposite. Do I feel wealthier? Not a bit. Do I feel that justice is being served? No, not that, either.

I’m mostly infuriated by armed, masked men roaming around and grabbing people.

Scientist on green card detained for a week without explanation, lawyer says A Korean citizen studying in Texas on a green card was detained in San Francisco after a trip overseas.

No other word will do: Gestapo. American Gestapo - words I never imagined I'd associate together. A legal resident. A scientist searching for a Lyme disease vaccine. Criminality? Arrested for weed - ten years ago. Abducted at the airport by anonymous goons and disappeared.

Confessions of a Very Mediocre Youth Sports Parent With another season complete, a few thoughts about the games kids play, and the increasingly professionalized system built up around it.

Exclusive: FDA's Makary sought rejection of KalVista’s drug in an unusual move by commissioner, sources say FDA Commissioner Marty Makary reportedly attempted to reject KalVista Pharmaceuticals' drug application, sources said. An HHS spokesperson calls the claim 'totally false.'

This is very concerning.

Endpoints reports that FDA chief Makary sought rejection of KalVista's drug after the company said FDA staffing issues were resulting in delays to its application.
