Immigrants at ICE’s Adelanto detention center denounce lack of medical care and “inhumane” conditions A federal lawsuit by immigrants detained at the ICE facility alleges they’re treated like “dogs in cages” and denied food and water.

In ICE detention camps, “disease and illness are rampant, mold grows on the walls, and detained individuals are denied sufficient food, clean drinking water, proper medical care, and disability accommodations”.

ICE is a scourge of humanity, and also of public health.

🚨
Are people sicker now than in 2019?

Civil servants in England are.
Sickness absence rates have *risen by between 12% to 23% across the age groups*.

Are things getting worse?
It certainly looks like it.

This is exactly what we predicted repeat covid infection would do.

People used to be getting healthier year on year.

Now we're getting sicker year on year.

The difference is Covid.

The data's all here, go knock yourself out.

I've seen a few cruel posts on Twitter / X recently, and, as a result, I would remind you all of the following:

If you're trying to avoid infection with SARS-CoV-2, you're being smart.

Mask harassment - online or irl - is done by uninformed, resentful and insecure people. Ignore them.

A @SuperBowl Sunday Fact…

If a football field were a timeline of cosmic history, cavemen to now spans the thickness of a blade of grass in the end zone.

Three dark loaves of bread, two round and one oblong

Not to brag (absolutely to brag), but this is 100% whole wheat sourdough and my most gorgeous batch yet.

Donald Trump is a racist.
He has always been a racist.
He will always be a racist.
When someone shows you who they are believe them the first time.

If you still support Trump and his administration, I don’t judge you for your choice of political party.

I judge you for your lack of morals, ethics, compassion & humanity.

I judge you for your support of pedophilia, racism, treason & fascism.

So will others. So will history.

Crystal Heath DVM @drcrystalheath Jeffrey Epstein wanted to kill miniature horses and someone named Diablo, along with pigs, goats, and a turkey. "wanted to make sure you guys knew JE told Wendy to get rid of all the “show” animals on the ranch; the miniature horses, pigs, turkey, goats, Diablo, etc.. Wendy said she will try and sell what she can. I don’t think JE much cares what happens to them as he said to just “kill” them.. I think the only thing we’re keeping is the chickens for the eggs and the horses which someone can ride." Follow me for all the animal atrocities in the Epstein Files. (As if the child crimes weren't bad enough).

What do I think of the Los Angeles Zoo?

Have you heard about Billy and Tina?

I think a real vet would like the shows. You disgust me. You absolutely DISGUST me. You saying breeds in quotation marks shows how incapable you are and exactly how much research you actually do on dogs. I want you no where near a dog.

To be disgusting to the right people is exactly where I want to be.

(This comment was in response to my post criticizing the Westminster Dog Show for promoting profiting from deformed and mutilated dogs.)

Can a calf with a cleft palate survive?

The University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine told Iowa Farm Sanctuary that Herbie could not be saved.

Iowa Farm Sanctuary refused to accept that conclusion and gave him a chance.

For those keeping score at home:

Neither Israel nor the United States can be trusted in regards to Gaza, the West Bank, or Palestine and Palestinians. This is not a cease-fire but the same death by a thousand cuts that is occupation, apartheid, and slow ethnic cleansing.

The owner of Twitter is inciting murder, according to the owner of Twitter.

Today we began production on a new documentary with Community Solutions, Inc. and local service providers in Atlanta, highlighting real work that’s actually solving homelessness.

It was a good day. A meaningful one.

Housing is the only solution that permanently ends homeless encampments.

Whew.

Waiting at a train station today, I saw an elderly woman on the opposite platform wearing a blue surgical mask.

Every time I see someone in a blue surgical mask it drives home so profoundly to me how public health in this country is failing people. Every single time.

Bats and chickens man. They are always starting some beef with humans.

And we probably deserve it.

How about one more

A landscape photograph taken after sunset. The foreground of the photograph is a sandy beach, with the silhouette of a person walking from the left of the shot to the right of the shot visible just where the sand meets the sea. The sea stretches to the horizon in the midground of the shot, the water glistening with muted, reflected light. There are headlands to both the left and right of the shot, and an orange glow rises above the distant horizon; the last light from the sunset. The sky has a dark band of clouds across it but is clear in the top right of the shot. The photograph was unmistakably taken during the blue hour.

YouTube video by Crystal Heath Pluralistic Ignorance Is Holding Back Animal Protection Policy

Most Americans already support strong protections for animals, but they think they’re alone.

A national survey of 2,074 adults found widespread support, with people underestimating each other by 20–30 points. That silence benefits corporations.
