FAA Warns Airlines About Safety Risks From Rocket Launches, Urges “Extreme Caution” The agency’s official safety alert comes as SpaceX looks to ramp up Starship tests. A recent ProPublica investigation found that explosions during previous Starship launches disrupted air traffic and forced pilots to scramble for safety.

NEW: Following multiple SpaceX Starship explosions that caused commercial jets to scramble for safety, the Federal Aviation Administration has issued a broad warning that rocket launches could “significantly reduce safety” for airplanes.

🚨 ICE Said He “Ran Into a Brick Wall.” Nurses Say That’s Impossible. His Skull Was Shattered in 8 Places. Eight fractures. Brain bleeds. A shifting story. And a hospital staff terrified of armed agents. This is Minnesota now.

This post is blowing up, so for all the big name journos sharing it, some context:

This was a rally in Chicago explicitly calling for ICE to be abolished, and for a mass general strike to counter the Trump admin's continous attacks on our communities and civil liberties.

It's annoying at first, but I did this earlier this year and, well, I sure was glad when I had a pile of feds on my back. I'll probably never use biometric unlocks for anything ever again.

I think not enough white people are taking the voting rights issues seriously enough. They are killing people and then offering to stop killing if the state gives up the voter registration data. This should be setting off massive alarms for EVERYONE. (I’m looking at you, white people.)

Hospital Guidance: Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM) - Care Requirements
CLINICAL WARNING: When the patient is in PEM, any extra activity (sitting up, walking, answering questions) can worsen symptoms, reset recovery, and accelerate long-term decline. Strict protection of rest is required.
Overnight Care Guidance
Lighting and Noise: Keep the room dark and silent overnight. Avoid unnecessary door openings. Use minimal light if checks are required.
Sleep Protection: Do not wake for routine observations unless clinically essential. Cluster any checks to reduce disturbance.
Environment: Ensure call bell, water, and medications are within reach before settling for the night.
Communication: Avoid questions or conversation if the patient wakes. Speak quietly and keep interactions minimal.
Escalation: If pain, tachycardia, or instability occurs, respond calmly, minimise sensory exposure, and escalate as clinically indicated.
Documentation: Overnight staff should record sleep protection strategies and PEM episode status at shift start and end.
Personal Care - Showering and Hygiene
Daily shower prompts are not required. Please be guided by the patient as to when capacity allows.
General Principle: Patient will indicate readiness for washing or showering. No need to prompt daily. Frequency: Showering may be limited to once a week or less during severe PEM. Over-exertion can worsen symptoms.
Alternatives: Patient may use wet wipes or gentle seated wash in lieu of shower as tolerated.
Assistance: Provide quiet, minimal support (e.g., washcloths, seated wash). Avoid standing or prolonged exertion. Environment: Keep lighting low and surroundings quiet. Ensure seating for safety if required. Aftercare: Allow full recovery time after shower; avoid further activity immediately afterwards.
Shift Handover Note - Include in SBAR

HWSSC Building Closure
Out of an abundance of caution, the Harold Washington Social Security Center building will close immediately for the day due to an unconfirmed threat received. Employees already on premises should leave. Employees with a telework agreement should work from their ADS.

BREAKING — Multiple Social Security Administration (SSA) buildings have been evacuated because of an "unconfirmed threat received." I've confirmed the Harold Washington Building in Chicago and the Bolling Building in Kansas City evacuated and working to confirm others.

The new fake video of Alex Pretti that is being used to discredit his memory is an AI fake made by @mazemoor (on X).

He even admitted it.

It has been debunked by many sources.

The video is a very good fake, but it’s fake....

I slow-motioned the mistake for you.

Per body cam footage of the shooting, a second Sangamon County sheriff’s deputy offered to go get a medical kit for Massey after Sean Grayson shot her in the head.

Grayson discouraged him from doing so.

“She’s done,” he told the other officer. “You can go get it, but that’s a head shot.”

Martinez wants to make certain material from her case public.

She cites the need to "defend herself from a regrettable and unyielding tide of misinformation from the federal government," and a need to inform the public re: info from her case, citing the recent ICE/CBP killings in Minneapolis.

Masking is not about doxing. That is the excuse. They are wearing masks so people cannot identify agents who engage in abuses, civil rights violations, and crimes. You can’t report someone or hold them accountable in any way if you can’t identify them.

I know this is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things but these guys are paid with your tax money and have no real job. ICE isn't necessary. They don't get rid of criminals. They just terrorize communities. And THAT'S why they should be abolished. No need for reins. It's not a job!

Here’s How Many ICE and CBP Agents Allegedly Preyed on Children Apparently the institutions are riddled with accused sex criminals.

ICE is riddled with sex criminals.

A January 2026 report by the Pacific Antifascist Research Collective identified 30 ICE and CBP agents with documented convictions and arrests, some for serious violent and sexual crimes.

At least 20 committed offenses with underage victims.
