It was never about deporting criminals. It was always about using deportation to criminalize people they want to control.

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

This is the Tufts PhD student who seized by masked agents on the street and jailed for two months because she wrote an op-ed calling for the school to divest from Israel.

White House Scraps Cash Payments for Delayed or Canceled Flights

Remember, as Sean Duffy keeps telling us his ideas for air travel -- dress up nice for your flight! do a little workout before you get on too! -- this is an actual Good Thing We Wanted that Democrats secured for us before these assholes took it away

HOMELESSNESS IS NOT A DRUG PROBLEM IT'S A HOUSING PROBLEM

I'm so sick of y'all in my mentions with this talking point, just stop.

PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD RENT. Half of renters are paying over 30% of their income on rent, another quarter are paying over 50%!!!

People need homes they can afford!

No one deserves to starve.

No one deserves to starve.

No one deserves to starve.

Most SNAP recipients work. They need SNAP because corporations refuse to pay a living wage.

The rest are disabled, elderly or unpaid caregivers.

People should be fed. Period.

For First Time in Decades, Child Deaths Will Rise This Year Almost a quarter of a million more children around the world are projected to die in 2025 than in 2024.

This fetid landmark, this historical stain on humanity is primarily due to the stunningly reckless obliteration of America's foreign assistance agency earlier this year.

Led by the richest man on earth. In secret, on a weekend. With zero analysis or discussion of its catastrophic impacts.

Since becoming a parent I have not, in fact, understood the parents who say β€œif you were a parent you’d understand” about vaccine hesitancy. Being in charge of this fragile little miracle has me saying things like β€œgive her all the vaccines. Turn this baby into a pincushion” to doctors

RFK Jr. and Elon are in a battle to rack up the greatest kill count of any American in decades, and the next democratic president should promise to vigorously prosecute both for their crimes against humanity

This is a disgrace and it will cost lives.

Sec. Kennedy seems determined to rollback our progress fighting deadly diseases because he can’t look beyond his own ideological agenda.

He’s a threat to our health and must be fired immediately.

BREAKING: ACIP votes to roll back universal newborn HepB shot.

Dr. Meissner: physicians pledge to β€œdo no harm”, and warned, β€œThis will do harm.”

The birth dose prevents ~70% of early HBV transmission. When kids get HBV before age 6, 70-90% get chronic disease, and ~1 in 4 go on to liver cancer.

there are of course many examples of political constituencies that have in fact killed scores of children (en route to some other evil goal), but I can't offhand think of any historical examples of a political constituency organized for that specific purpose

A 27 year old man in end stage kidney failure was told if he wanted his dialysis he has to sign self deportation papers.

β€œIf you want to leave, sign. If not, you're going to die here."

Withholding of life saving medical treatment should be considered torture.

The ACIP decision to discontinue the recommendation for a universal hepatitis B birth dose vaccine will cause harm.

As the federal government continues to fail children's health, families can rely on our nation's physicians to continue to put children's health first.

Same for me with Haemophilus influenzae. As a resident I’d perform 2-3 spinal taps a week for it. The neurological devastation from H flu meningitis was horrible. Haven’t seen a case since the vaccine was introduced.

I’d rather not keep making similar posts about pertussis, varicella, Meningococcemia, pneumococcus, HiB, etc. But I can and I will if ACIP continues to choose anarchy.

I took care of numerous kids with fulminant hepatitis B in the 90s before the switch to getting the first vaccine at birth. I don’t recall having one since. I do not miss caring for that disease.
