Yes, but it's a bit surprising for someone whose closet -- and entire apartment -- contents were all stolen!

Loss of our measles elimination status hasn't been officially announced yet, but for all intents & purposes, it's endemic again.

Marimar Martinez lists the names of people murdered by ICE agents.

She was the first citizen they tried to execute.

They didn’t succeed.

She’s using her voice on behalf of those whose voices were taken away.

The courts have spoken. DHS must release the full footage and be held accountable for Marimar, Silverio, Renee, Keith, Alex, and every person who has died at their hands.

between 2011-2019 we saw a 2.6-fold higher rate of death by suicide among NFL players when compared with baseball and basketball

Public and scientific conversations about football players, brain injury, neurodegenerative disease, and CTE began to increase markedly in 2011. CTE is a real condition that can only be identified after someone passes away. While symptoms of CTE among living former players remain incompletely understood, players experiencing trouble with memory, concentration, or mood may attribute these to CTE. Because CTE is considered an incurable progressive condition, men who are told or who come to believe they have CTE may be at higher risk for suicide, as suggested by a prior study.

Study suggests huge increase in NFL player suicides could be due to men fearing getting CTE and taking their own lives.

How TrumpRx drug prices compare to generic alternatives Patients could save more buying non-branded copycat drugs, even if they don't have insurance.

More than half the drugs on the TrumpRx site have a cheaper generic version on the market.

Pristiq, an antidepressant, is available with a TrumpRx coupon for ~$200 for a 30-day supply.

A generic version is on GoodRx for less than $30 and Mark Cuban's CostPlusDrugs for $16.65.

Yes, this IS pure evil.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

“Good afternoon. My name is [redacted] and my wife and I have been at OMDC since April 15 2025,” reads a handwritten note, wrapped around a lotion bottle that was thrown by a man held captive inside the Otay Mesa Detention Center (OMDC) on Sunday. “It’s cold here all the time and the food is poor,” the missive continues. “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick.”

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities:

Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down

Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged

Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

Why the hell did @crampell.bsky.social mention Drumpf declaring English the US's "official language" w/out also noting he had NO power to make it so?
Her audience may not all know that. Repeating misinfo + lies w/out a "truth sandwich" reinforces them.

thanks for the clarification about these pro-ICE ads.

But while the article says, "The ads are slated to run in Michigan, North Carolina, and Georgia...," I saw something (only caught a bit of it) in the NYC media market, and others in Minn. have posted about seeing it.

It's appalling! We need to press #MSNOW to stop -- just as customer pressure got Spotify to stop ICE recruitment ads

Major news in NYC: NY secretary of state won a court order blocking the Trump admin from freezing funds for the new Hudson tunnel, the Gateway project.

Appalled! Just saw an ad for 🧊 running on MSNOW!

Plz, folks, help call out #MSNOW for taking pro-ICE ads -- like we did w/ Spotify etc!
This was in the NYC media mkt. Another comment (below) says it ran in Minn -- disgusting.
Is it all over the US?

Jeff Bezos’s wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Post’s losses with what he’s made since Monday.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

We must demand change.

Abolish ICE immediately AND:

1) Stop raids and family separation.
2) Get justice for all those murdered by ICE.
3) Hold the Department of Homeland Security and their staff accountable.
4) Stop the federal government’s overreach and intimidation of communities.

NYC right now. People are angry. We stand with our brothers and sisters in Minnesota. Abolish 🧊

This is so important - I hope a recording will be available!

‘ICE conveyor belt’ illegally detaining, moving Minnesota children to Texas faster than courts can respond ICE is pulling Minnesota immigrant families with legal status out of their driveways, homes and school commutes and send

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.
