We are now at the part in the experiment where MULTIPLE states are talking about - in essence - disenfranchising (at least devaluing) hundreds of thousands of voters to maintain control

The illusion of choice and the illusion of Democracy

The truly insidious part of the Executive Order on unhoused folks is the expansion of shadow prisons using "Civil Commitment."

In essence, people can be interned FOREVER as a form of "treatment" without ever having been convicted of a crime

I have no idea why people are sleeping on this

Scorched by Design: Extreme Heat, Redlining, and Neglect Dr. Mustafa Ali says our growing sacrifice zones expose whose lives we truly value — and whose we’re still willing to let burn.

“We say we’re “resilient,” like that’s supposed to be enough. But resilience is what the oppressed say when we know no cavalry is coming. What we need is a reckoning. Not just with carbon, but with capitalism. Not just with emissions, but with omissions — of care, of compassion, of justice.”

Meant to flag this earlier: my joint piece with Dr. Jeffrey Singer on how #ICE access to medical and insurance claims databases could be used not just against migrants, but the rest of us as well...along with the chilling effect on those avoiding medical care for fear of arrest:

Journalist detained by ICE after covering immigration protest should be released, his children say Civil rights and press freedom groups have denounced the immigration detention of Mario Guevara, a Spanish-language journalist in the U.S. for over two decades.

ICE is suppressing the first amendment rights of this long time journalist. Arrested at a no kings day protest, a judge ordered his release yet he sits in an ICE detention center. He has committed no crime! He’s here legally. His only “crime” is free speech reporting as a journalist #onyourside

On this thread, you will see how ambulances continue leaving the Everglades MAGA Internment Torture Camp, they call a “detention center,” the last one being yesterday morning.

The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has released CSA Z94.4, a draft revision of its standard on respirators and respiratory protection.
