Ravioli

Mia Valentina Paz Faria A 7-year-old from Venezuela who was living in Austin, Texas Detained for 70 days “I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

UPDATE: Staff at the ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas have begun raiding the dormitories of kids and their parents to confiscate and destroy letters from the children. This is in response to the ace reporting by @micarosenberg et al for ProPublica:

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

- 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas.

Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children.

CBS not airing James Talarico’s interview with Stephen Colbert because they were supposedly worried about FCC backlash is a really big deal. Stephen Colbert was told not to say anything and did so anyways. This man is not getting enough credit for standing up for free speech.

These artists are making concerts safer with COVID-19 precautions - The Sick Times While most of the music industry has “moved on,” COVID-conscious performers have been working to prevent their shows from being superspreaders.

Today @thesicktimes.org: Some musicians are prioritizing COVID-19 precautions at concerts, protecting themselves and their fans while making the shows more inclusive.

An upclose microscopic image shows the main components of blood plasma, including complement C1, immunogloublin G, ferritin, and more. The components that make up the plasma in the shapes of spheres, noodles, and clumps, are colored in different shades of purple, blue, violet, and red. The text reads, “The Sick Times. Long COVID research updates. A large study recently connected “chronic absenteeism” to pediatric Long COVID. A small study found that IgG isolated from people with ME can destroy mitochondria in endothelial cells. ADDRESS-LC, the clinical trial assessing Bezisterim for Long COVID, has opened two more study sites.”

A large study recently connected “chronic absenteeism” to pediatric Long COVID, further disproving the “immunity debt” talking points from pundits earlier in the pandemic. Published in the CDC’s Emerging Infectious Diseases, the study assessed over 11,000 children and found that those who had experienced Long COVID were 2.5 times as likely to be at risk of missing school for long periods of time due to the disabling disease. “Long COVID remains a public health concern in U.S. school-aged children,” the authors concluded, stating that educational institutions need to “recognize the potential for accommodations that support learning goals and social development.” Still, there was no mention of COVID-19 prevention in the authors’ conclusion.

A small mechanistic study in Brain, Behavior, & Immunity – Health found that immunoglobulin G (IgG), a type of antibody in the blood, isolated from people with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) can destroy mitochondria in endothelial cells, or the cells lining the inside of your blood vessels. The study included samples from over 100 people, including some with pre-COVID ME, some with ME after COVID-19, some with multiple sclerosis (MS), and some controls. The authors hypothesized that people with “post-COVID ME” represent an early stage of the disease, where inflammation dominates clinical outcomes, whereas those who have had ME for longer “represent the chronic nature of the disease,” with symptoms driven more by a disrupted metabolism.

ADDRESS-LC, the clinical trial assessing the investigational drug Bezisterim (NE3107) for neurological symptoms of Long COVID, has opened two more study sites: a new one in California and one in Connecticut. The study now includes 19 sites around the country; other states with sites are Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Texas, Washington, and West Virginia.

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.

After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

"Our classrooms are sacred spaces, places of refuge and possibility ... This government is defiling them."

Minnesota Churches Provide Critical Supports as Immigrants Hide at Home Belying Republican claims of “paid protesters,” churches have become critical nodes in the immigrant defense networks that have sprung up in response to Operation Metro Surge.

Immigrants—“many of them with legal status”—are being forced to shelter at home, “declining to go to work or send kids to school for fear of ICE.

The families need groceries and rent money and activities for their children, and congregations are stepping up to help.”

consider that they are preparing you for the next pandemic by removing any pretense of protection—they never wanted it for covid, which is why sars2 remains in harmful circulation, & they don’t want it for the next novel pathogen.

this is the preparation. prepare to suffer.

better to mask up now.

THIS IS HOW MANY HUMAN BEINGS HAVE BEEN ABDUCTED AND ARE BEING HELD CAPTIVE BY ICE

So many people are being disappeared it’s hard to fathom.

I'm pretty proud of this poem I made out of the euphemisms that companies used to describe the ICE occupation in corporate communications. Also read the whole story: racketmn.com/corporate-co...

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

People who still take Covid seriously are increasingly isolated and being able to access community in places that encourages masking can be lifesaving for mental health.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

This isn't policy; it's punishment. Punishment for women who dared to get married and change their names. The SAVE Act is a disgraceful, transparent attempt to strip women of their power. #HandsOffHerVote

I've seen a few cruel posts on Twitter / X recently, and, as a result, I would remind you all of the following:

If you're trying to avoid infection with SARS-CoV-2, you're being smart.

Mask harassment - online or irl - is done by uninformed, resentful and insecure people. Ignore them.

I hope you spend some time with this story today. It's incredibly important and a small window into what's happening behind the federal government's detention center doors. www.propublica.org/article/life...

Multiple friends have caught COVID recently, including some of my more cautious pals. There are a lot of winter germs in crowded places right now, fam. Personally, I never feel that shopping or riding transit unmasked is worth potentially getting sick. You can always renew this practice.

“Lying in feces, throw up, urine… like animals in a cage at the zoo.”

A whistleblower recounts the horrific ICE detention center conditions in Baltimore — a similar story everywhere.

Hey so do we have to put the Olympics organizing teams in charge of healthcare, because why are athletes wearing respirator masks but doctors won't while they perform kidney transplants?

Photo of 7 year old Diana Crespo sitting with her parents at a table in a restaurant. Her dad is giving a thumbs up.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

It's the test I trust and the company I've ordered from consistently the past 2 years. Better validity and lower cost than other rapid antigen tests.

I do not receive any revenue from any product or company, just a good deal.

I am now raising rent funds for another Minneapolis family who has been impacted by ICE. For this family, the remaining need is $775.

Can we make this happen for them today? I believe in us & will post receipts!

Brother if reading the Epstein files and seeing the world’s richest white men OPENLY PLAN how to kill off the poor and non-white of the world doesn’t convince you to:

- get vaccinated
- wear a mask
- take care of your fellow man and neighbor
- look out for children

You’re lost.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.
