If you are in Baltimore, and you haven't had an adult MMR booster or recent titers, now is the time to get that booster! Mumps immunity is more susceptible to waning than measles and it needs a single adult booster after age 18 or so for maximum efficacy!

"You all got him McDonalds," says Rep. Brad Knott (R-N.C.), praising the ICE agents for this. "You all did not abduct him."

Hello, DARVO!

"Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim + Offender" is a reaction that perpetrators of wrongdoing "may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior."

Lyons says ICE agents actually "took care" of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos when they detained him, before shipping him off to a horrific Texas ICE facility.

He says ICE officers "comforted him" as they chased his dad, put him in their car to play "his favorite music, then took him to McDonalds."

Congresswoman Uses Simple Math To Show How Broken ICE Is

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Republicans being disingenuous about the reason for the considered tax seems on par. I don't pretend to know the answer to the problem but I know lying doesn't help.

In November I went to a forum in Dallas for Texas attorney general candidates and I am not exaggerating when I tell you the #1 thing discussed was sharia law. Clinically insane politics.

ICE Is Expanding Across the US at Breakneck Speed. Here’s Where It’s Going Next ICE plans to lease offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

NEW: Documents obtained by @wired.com show that ICE has or plans to open more than 150 facilities around the US, in nearly every state, many near major metro areas. @leahfeiger.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-ex...

The article ultimately turns into speculation. Based on past statements he may try to reduce the amount of bonds and securities held by the Fed which could increase or keep mortgage rates near their current rate which people believe are too high.

Trump wants lower mortgage rates. His Fed pick may push the other way. Kevin Warsh’s push to shrink the $6.6 trillion balance sheet could raise long-term rates, creating tension with the administration over its housing agenda.

We will be stuck with this guy if he is appointed.

He fled torture in Uganda. ICE is trying to send him back. People like Pastor Steven Tendo β€œare exactly who our asylum system is meant to protect.”

β€œI followed the rules. I’ve done great in the community. I’ve never abused any of the conditions of the stay or of my supervision…I’m so scared, I cannot go back."

ICEΒ brutally detained a minister in Vermont. Now, the Trump administration wants to send him back to Uganda, where he was tortured.

Segregation Academies Still Operate Across the South. One Town Grapples With Its Divided Schools. Seventy years after Brown v. Board, Black and white residents, in Camden, Alabama, say they would like to see their children schooled together. But after so long apart, they aren’t sure how to make it...

After the Brown v. Board decision, white people across the South opened hundreds of private schools.

70+ years later, most of the ones still open in Alabama’s Black Belt remain overwhelmingly white.

In this town, one school keeps kids divided.

Trump’s best friend Jeff Epstein was worried about Trump’s dementia way back in 2017. How bad do you think it is now?

Everyone go cancel your Nitro now. You still get the perks until the end of the payment cycle and if an absolute shitload of people do this they'll crap their pants and try to backpedal.

Also if they don't, there's a chance all of your friends & fav creators will work on changing to something else.

Wife said doctors with decades of experience who know what they're doing are trusting AI to make diagnoses without even looking because they're being lazy/trying to maximize patient turnover and there's already some harrowing shit happening out there.

Reclassifying Social Work Degrees Will Harm Students, Communities, and the Profession

Public comments needed!

The admin wants to define grad programs in many "helping" fields (social work, nursing, teaching, etc) to no longer be "professional" degrees. This would mean major student loan restrictions: only $20,500/year. Tuition alone is often more.

Please comment by March 2!
