Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

"If we have to follow the law and constitution we won't be allowed to break the law and violate the constitution" says man sworn to uphold the constitution.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

I love all of the mouthpieces for the administration getting it on record that they think requiring warrants means their program is dead in the water out loud like letting everyone know they know they're violating civil liberties

Two-month-old baby 'choking on his own vomit' while detained in Dilley 'His life is in danger,' U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro said about newborn Juan Nicolás. The child fell ill after spending almost a month — or half his life — in a San Antonio-area family detention facility...

Parents opt kids out of school computers, insisting on pen and paper instead Parents are forming a loose network teaching one another how to get their children off school-issued Chromebooks and iPads.

Parents are increasingly opting out of mandatory school laptops for kids. Surprised this article didn’t mention the privacy and security risks that should also make parents concerned. www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

Hegseth (boorishly): Russia's cool. NATO sucks. Your security problem, Europe, is you're too brown and gay.

Vance (condescendingly): Russia's cool. Your security problem is you're too brown and Muslim.

Rubio (politely): Who cares about Russia. Your problem is you're not white or Christian enough.

Because, in my opinion, the greatest dilemma public colleges across the country face is that they NEVER receive enough state or federal funding. So they are forced to submit grant applications to the country’s philanthropic organizations to fit an ever-growing gap. THIS IS THE ENTIRE PROBLEM.

**It is important to understand that cultivating a class of intellectually powerful scientists who are given lots of cash and little social accountability is a structural feature that Epstein was taking advantage of, not inventing.**

Hungary holds elections in 2 months. And the US Secretary of State is in Hungary campaigning for Viktor Orban. And as you can see, Russian state media loves it.

Broken bones, burning eyes: How Trump's DHS deploys 'less lethal' weapons on protesters Federal immigration officers have repeatedly used force in ways that appear to violate their own policies or general policing guidelines, NBC News found.

Democrats should propose amendments to the SAVE act that require the government to furnish free IDs to all eligible voters before requiring them, automatically register all people to vote, expand mail-in voting, and create a national voting holiday. Then watch republicans block them.

TAKE ACTION Stop the ICE Surveillance Machine Tell your state and local representatives to cut off ICE access to sensitive DMV data and to end its surveillance of protesters

The headquarters of the Republican Party in Eau Claire County, Wisconsin, was vandalized.

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, one the administration has ignored.

"In at least 4,421 cases, more than 400 federal judges ruled since the beginning of October that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is holding people illegally as it carries out its mass-deportation campaign."

This thread seems to confirm my very strong prior that a big part of what's wrong with DHS is that it blurs foreign and domestic authority, and by doing so inherently promotes bringing military and intelligence behavior into the civilian world

ICE plans to spend $38.3 billion turning warehouses into detention centers ICE plans to spend $38.3 billion converting warehouses into detention centers, according to planning documents, more than the annual budgets of 22 states.

Imagine if even a fraction of what this administration plans to spend on cages went toward housing people.

More good news.

This is the most important thing to understand about AI.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.
