I didn't think the cockup two weeks ago could be topped. And yet. Apparently the lethal warfighters accidentally took out a Border Patrol drone.

At least they are shooting each other.

We are going to need Nuremberg Trials when this is all over.

There is plenty of room to cut down on fraud and on fraud – like behavior. I simply do not trust the fascists to be the ones to solve this problem.

FYI DME co’s are allowed to cold call you if they have had any legitimate contact with you within the last 18 months. I very frequently will get orders for expensive equipment to sign that patients never ordered and never wanted ever needed.

When this administration is gone I’ll be in my 60s. I’m tired. Just found out my almost 70 sis who is about the size of a large chihuahua escorts ICE detainees home from detention so their fam can be safe. So I’ll stop kvetching now.

This got some traction earlier this week so I figured I’d give it a one time repost because apparently ppl found it interesting.

Nothing to do with this case AFAIK but if we keep acting like fascists more people will “betray” us. It worked for us and the USSR. Treat your own ppl like shit and they’ll be easier to subvert.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture.

Understood instantly what it meant.

Doctors say that vaccines are the best way to protect children against measles. A guy who eats dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says they should just swim in untreated sewage water instead. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

ICE "should be abolished, but also it should be prosecuted" - Democratic Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social, from the centrist wing of the party, tells me he wants his party leadership to go further than just reforming ICE. Doing that is "no longer believable."

The Kids Trump Sent to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center ProPublica went inside the immigrant detention center for families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of...

We obtained the Dilley detention center’s 911 call logs.

Among them are pleas for help for toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman who passed out and an elementary-school-aged girl having seizures.

SCOTUS rejects private prison company GEO Group's attempt at avoiding accountability A long-delayed lawsuit challenging GEO Group's treatment of people in immigration detention can proceed again. A unanimous decision that matters — especially now.

Tonight, at Law Dork:

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, Blind Rohingya refugee dumped by CBP, dies in cold "They just left him."

They killed him.

It takes a lot to infuriate me and break my heart only because you have to be able to tolerate a lot when covering Trump and fascism and try your best to stay centered and hopeful.

This story I can't let go.

They chose to let him just die.

This is it. Way past time for everyone in this country - literally everyone - to find practical ways to support trans people and immigrants, this regime's primary targets.

Starting right now, find something practical to do to actually help people.

So they’re going to cripple healthcare for the poor in Minnesota to make an example of the state. The warning is “don’t resist.”

that's...not insane

does this mean i cant oxygen, hospital beds, nebulizers, etc for my patients????

WTAF

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Sour milk sea but when he does it.

A historical, black and white portrait of a person in a United States Army Air Corps uniform. The uniform has various badges and insignia. The person is gazing to the side with a composed expression on their face.

Herman A. Barnett III applied to UTMB in 1949, at a time when Black students faced severe limits in medical education. That single choice changed history and paved the way for generations of physicians.

In 2025, agents with the FBI’s elite responsive team were delayed getting to Brown University after the mass shooting occurred. A whistleblower confirmed Patel was in Florida with one jet and gave the order for the 2nd jet to be on standby. The team on standby does not respond to mass shootings.😑

...a multiethnic state with equality among ethnicities to an exclusionary ethno-religious quasidictatorship. That's why it's much more useful to critique policy than hang a critique on such a complicated, messy word.

There is no agree-upon definition. At the most basic level, it is the idea that Israel, as a Jewish (secular or otherwise) state has a right to exist as it defines itself. This can mean something as simple as...

Trumps age and infirmity are not the problem assholes. Stop dunking on him for being a doddering old fool with health problems. Focus on the fascism.
