DHS shot her and called her a “terrorist.” New videos show something different. "It’s time to get aggressive," a Border Patrol agent said shortly before Marimar Martinez was shot five times.

“It’s time to get aggressive and get the fuck out because they’re trying to box us in.”

DHS shot her and called her a “terrorist.” New videos show something different.

Many Trump agencies are functionally the opposite of their intended purpose but it's pretty hard to beat an EPA that stops considering human health in favor of just considering regulations' costs to businesses and rolls back the CO2 endangerment finding. Like that's EPA inside the mirror realm.

BREAKING: After we sued, DHS withdrew a subpoena seeking personal information about our client who criticized DHS' treatment of a man seeking asylum.

This is a win not just for our client, but for everyone’s First Amendment right to speak out without fear of government retaliation.

How the Trump administration skirts — and defies — court rulings on ICE detentions A POLITICO review of hundreds of cases brought by ICE detainees shows a pattern of noncompliance that has frustrated judges across the country.

NEW: Federal judges are increasingly furious at what they see as a pattern / playbook of defiance by the Trump administration to court orders in immigration cases — in Minnesota and around the country.

Here’s a look at what they’re seeing: www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

New Bills Seek to Rein In Oil Companies’ Pollution of Oklahoma Groundwater The legislation comes after The Frontier and ProPublica found over 150 incidents where oilfield wastewater had gushed from the earth, releasing toxic chemicals — including some that cause cancer — nea...

A ProPublica-@readfrontier.bsky.social investigation found that in the past five years, toxic oil field waste has spewed out of the ground more than 150 times.

Oklahoma’s regulatory agency, however, previously said it prefers “to lead with a handshake instead of a hammer.”

January was a warning of where Trump will go next The administration's authoritarian project is accelerating.

The Trump administration has reached a point where they believe they can simply shoot you for opposing its agenda.

Protect Medication Abortion Telemedicine makes abortion accessible, empowering people to safely get the care they need without having to travel hundreds of miles just to pick up a pill. Tell the Department of Health and Human Services to protect Mifepristone: No new nationwide bans on abortion medication.

Anti-abortion politicians are trying to make obtaining mifepristone harder. We won't let them.

Tell the Department of Health and Human Services: Keep politics out of our health care.

Black quote graphic reading "“I am very worried that the President's consistent degrading comments about Somalis will encourage ICE agents to harass people for no reason other than that they look Somali, much like they did to me and my mother, regardless of citizenship status.” -M.E., ACLU client and Minneapolis resident challenging ICE’s unlawful actions.

It is illegal for ICE to detain U.S. citizens, full stop.

We’re in court reminding the Trump administration of our fundamental rights to due process and to live free from racial profiling.

The Dark Side of HIPAA for People Caring for an Adult Child with Mental Illness

“HIPAA adds a cruel paradox. Doctors ignore us, despite our pleas that illness makes it impossible for our son to manage his own care. They ignore our urgent emails & calls. All in the name of protecting privacy.”

“It can take a long time to bend some arcs towards justice, but our efforts are anything but futile.”

Outstanding article on this important topic.

The autopsy opinion cites “the stress of his struggle” and Black’s bipolar disorder as contributing factors to his death, which a medical examiner attributed to “anomalous right coronary artery and myocardial tunneling of the left anterior descending coronary artery.” It also claims that Black “may have recently smoked ‘spice,’” a synthetic cannabinoid, directly contradicting two toxicology reports that were negative for all substances. Black was an athletic and otherwise healthy teenager, and myocardial tunneling is “common and generally benign,” according to the American College of Cardiology.

Even as "excited delirium" has lost some credibility, we still see modest cardiac hypertrophy, benign anatomical variations, unprovable fatal heart rhythms, the presences of sub-overdose levels of drugs, and even sickle cell trait used to explain deaths in custody.

Emergency medicine has promoted this idea that "excited delirium" or "hyperactive delirium" can kill a person all by itself.

There is little evidence that this is true, but the idea has stuck in medical culture.

Death from prone restraint (as may have been the case here) is a far bigger risk.

Frey: "You know what I don't want [ICE] focusing on? Hunting down a dad that just dropped his kids off at daycare, is about to go work a 12 hour shift who happens to be from Ecuador. That guy makes our city a better place."

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

Fascism is here.

Whether or not we stand up to and eradicate it is the only question left.

NO ONE is coming to save us...not Congress, not the courts, not law enforcement, not the military.

IF, and it's a substantial IF, we get out of this, it will be because of us.

I’ve spoken to countless parents across MA about the effects social media is having on their kids’ mental health – and as a mother, I have the same concerns.

Our lawsuits against Meta and TikTok are about protecting our kids when these big companies don’t have their best interests at heart.

The US is going to take control of Greenland, one way or another. They'll try bribery, and Astroturf political movements. They'll use "little green men" and promises of vast wealth. They'll lean on Denmark and Greenland economically, politically, and diplomatically. Then, they will invade.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

Harvard scientists today announced a study where they were able to piece together that you are much too hard on yourself, trying to fulfill many unreasonable expectations.

You are awesome the way you are. You are loved. You have worth. Tell a friend you appreciate them. Be kind.

This is a wildly unethical study that would be illegal to conduct in the United States. Have you heard of the Tuskegee experiments (crimes against humanity)? This sounds like that.

The cheapest way to deliver healthcare is to provide universal healthcare. This has been demonstrated nearly infinite times; Roger Marshall just isn’t smart. The US spends more on healthcare than any other country in the entire world BECAUSE of privatization (and we have the worst health outcomes!)

If you come for the separation of church and state, we will see you in court.

I also wondered about the short 2 min cutoff. I would anticipate the incidence of collapse would be higher in both groups. Hard to know how it would affect the relative risk.

I want to see the ECG. Am I correct that hypo K can lead to false readings of prolonged QT due to the presence of inverted T waves and U waves? I’m fairly sure I have seen a case presenting with QTc > 500 that was a misread by the computer due to hyperK.

Missing my grandma who used to stop everything she was doing if she heard someone criticize vaccines because so many of her childhood friends slowly disappeared after they got polio, and ask people if “surviving” polio was really a positive outcome or if they had no idea what they were talking about
