At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

More to come!!!

Coming soon to an NIH near you.

Come on out Yinzers.

Um, Fort Campbell middle school would like a word. We have many schools on bases, and Bolton knows it. More ghoulish nonsense from war Hawks to justify the murder of little girls.

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?

WAKE UP IT'S GAME DAY!

Put the Message in the Box / Migrations, by Mary Chapin Carpenter & the Mountain Goats 2 track album

I have adored Mary Chapin Carpenter's work for decades. One of the great honors of my life to collaborate with her on this single of two covers of songs we love, out today! themountaingoats.bandcamp.com/album/put-th...

so, the Carnegie Hall presale went kinda bonkers and they said "you guys wanna add a night 2?" which I am still getting my head around this being my life, but it's what happened, so we did. The Mountain Goats have added a second show at Carnegie Hall. Tickets here.

Absolutely devastating news out of Chapel Hill, as Caleb Wilson has suffered another injury that will end his freshman season at North Carolina.

Trump is adding anti-trans provisions to SAVE America Act Trump appears to be using culture-war issues, which are popular among Republican voters, to increase the pressure on Republican lawmakers to back the bill.

🚨BREAKING: The White House confirmed Friday that President Donald Trump is pressing Congress to add new provisions targeting transgender people to the SAVE America Act — a sweeping anti-voting bill that could disenfranchise millions. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Missourians on probation and parole can’t vote. Their rights might be restored The House has approved legislation that would allow the more than 53,000 people supervised by the state to vote.

Wow, a huge bipartisan coalition passed a bill in the Missouri House to allow anyone who is not presently incarcerated to vote.

More than half the states allow this, but Democrats have led this in the last decade. Haven't seen a GOP-led chamber pass this in that time. Big deal.

Had a lovely visit to Texas A&M! Many thanks to Jun Wang for hosting and the hospitality. Met so many wonderful people and had great conversations with the trainees! (Bluesky is doing it's periodic thing where I can't upload pics)

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:

Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspended—and so were my wife's.

NIH Says It Will No Longer Recognize the Research Fellows’ Union NIH leadership said the union “should never have been certified,” in an email to the union’s leadership.

A bit odd given the Director has claimed he is very concerned about the young investigators.

Excited to join y'all 😁

Oh good Lord.

With this war on Iran costing $1B per day, we are now at 4$B, an amount that would fund 3,200 five year NIH biomedical research grants.

For all the but how can we afford space exploration folks…this means we’ve already spent more on this war that started last week than Cassini cost in the 26 years it took to build, launch, and operate it.

Slow Release Of Federal Science Funds Holds Up Research Some money allocated for scientific research has been restored to the federal budget, but the White House OMB has been slow to release it.

This is why simply passing a budget that isn't a 37% cut is not sufficient. This is why "the extent to which funding was restored" cannot be the measure of success.

'It Was Very Creepy': These People Say They Lost Global Entry Just For Watching ICE Agents Two people claim they were punished for acts of protest, and an internal government memo suggests they may not be the last.

I spoke with two ICE watchers who lost their Global Entry after brushes with federal agents. Now an internal memo shows Customs and Border Protection is evaluating cases where people's Global Entry could be revoked based on "encounters" with its officers.

I did register for the April date. You have a chance to enter questions. I don't know if there will be another opportunity to do this.

Anti-Trans Democrats Blown Out In North Carolina Primary Election Anti-trans Democrat Nasif Majeed lost to Veleria Levy, who ran on a pro-LGBTQ+ platform. Other conservative Democrats lost as well on primary day.

1. In yesterday's primary elections, anti-transgender Democrats found out the hard way why you don't throw transgender people under the bus.

Two anti-trans dems lost their primaries, including one that cast the deciding veto override vote, in blowouts.
