What you need to know about Texas ICE detention deaths Last year was the deadliest year in ICE detention in two decades. Nearly a quarter of those deaths occurred in Texas.

This is absolutely horrifying.

Six people have died in ICE detention centers in Texas in just six weeks — in overcrowded, understaffed facilities where abuse has been reported.

These are human beings. This is a moral failure. And it’s happening in our state.

FDA reverses course, agrees to review Moderna’s flu vaccine The FDA reversed course and told Moderna it would review its application for a new flu vaccine, the company announced Wednesday.

The FDA has reversed course and will now review Moderna’s new flu vaccine.

Last week, professional agitator Vinay Prasad overrode FDA scientists and sent a letter saying that the FDA would not review it.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Jon Stewart Praises Attorney Behind Years of Anti-Vaccine, Anti-Public Health Lawfare “You’re a civil rights attorney who has been canceled by both the right and the left, which means you must be doing something right.”

Is it too much to ask that large outlets have a single fucking clue about the people they platform and their weirdo positions?

Honestly.

Have you asked the businesses or event organizers why? Could provide some info/reason as to why they’re doing so

Groups like the Brownstone Institute have been pushing to get mRNA technology banned.

The FDA commissioner is an ally of Brownstone.

The director of CBER is an ally of Brownstone.

The director of CDER is an ally of Brownstone.

For those keeping tabs.

The freedom to form a union is essential to a democratic society.

Still true- though there should be much more overlap

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50

Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

Jeffrey Epstein, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Marc Andreessen share an enduring fascination with eugenics, race science, and transhumanism and there is an entire generation of public intellectuals who benefited and continue to benefit from their patronage.

Pinker, Huberman, Attia, Weinstein, etc.

This is shameful. The man spent years working to undermine faith in public health, amplified by right-wing think tanks backed by big money to oppose anything big business doesn’t like.

His contribution to our discourse was a declaration that we should let people get mass infected for herd immunity.

ICE agents shatter window, leave 1-month-old baby, mother in car after Portland arrest Video shows federal immigration agents leaving behind an infant and broken glass after detaining a Guinean immigrant with no known criminal history.

“There’s a baby in the car,” Barry told the agents. “There’s a baby.”

ICE smashed their car window and left shards of glass all over the car seat holding a one month old infant.

Why? To grab an immigrant with no criminal record as part of operation “Catch of the Day”

You want to be a secret police but in this country you have no right to be secret about what you’re doing. And so we will continue to watch every step you take in our city, tens of thousands of us, because you have proven beyond all doubt that you cannot be trusted to operate unseen.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Live: Man shot and killed by federal agents in south Minneapolis this morning, police chief says A video appears to shows federal agents wrestling a man to the ground then shooting him.

The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."

Mortality rates:

Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000
Penicillin 2/100K
Viagra 4/100K

Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K)

More people have died in ICE detention centers already in 2026 than will die from mifepristone all year. These politicians are extremely dangerous to women.

I know I don't have a ton of media followers, but I'll put this out there anyway: if you need someone to comment/offer context on the removal of the slavery exhibit at the President's House site in Philly, get in touch. I just finished an entire book on Americans' fight over Washington and slavery.

Granted, my Minnesota cred is a bit rusty these days, but where the hell is this cadre of paid actors that can drive on snow and know the proper use of “Ope! Let me just scooch by you there…” supposed to be coming from?

Adam Gray, who won a Trump +5 district by 0.1%, told me he's undecided on the DHS funding bill.

"Very concerned about the oversight stuff, though, yeah. I mean, this last few months, it seems almost impossible to get any just direct answers out of the agencies." #CA13

guys minneapolis is a living hell today. they've tear-gassed so many people, tear-gassed a park, beaten people up in front of me. greg bovino is rolling around to gas stations and posing in front of them, trying to cause a riot.

I’d give them an F 😝

Europeans probably are not aware that we had a few massive #NoKings protests last year. People are circulating petitions. Scientists write opinion pieces to reach public. Medical organizations are speaking out. But our elected representatives have to act. And that's why 2026 midterms are pivotal.

Jon Stewart Praises Attorney Behind Years of Anti-Vaccine and Anti-Lockdown Lawfare “You’re a civil rights attorney who has been canceled by both the right and the left, which means you must be doing something right.”

NEW: This week, Daily Show host Jon Stewart introduced his audience to Jenin Younes, describing her as a courageous civil rights attorney who had been canceled by both the right and left and therefore “must be doing something right.”

Really, she spent years undermining public health—and Democrats.

“The entire operation is becoming slower and more resource-intensive. There is good reason to believe that more immigrants are with their families tonight because of ICE Watch.”
