Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water.

These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested.

They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

It’s not for me to say what DGA should do but just as a matter of power analysis I think Dell and Boots are right on this.

RFK Jr.’s damage to the CDC is ‘past the point of no return,’ Dr. Demetre Daskalakis warns “The CDC you knew is over,” the infectious diseases doctor told The Advocate. “Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.”

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

ICYMI — JUDGE: “This case represents the consequences of a decades long drumbeat of anti-immigrant sentiment and misinformation being broadcast & broadcast & broadcast…”

2 immigrants shot in Washington, gunman sentenced in June. Barely even a story. 🤷🏻‍♂️ www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/g...

Here’s what was NOT released today:

- the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ

- the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed

- communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison

- the Epstein files

I wrote something for The Sunday Times's style section about how men have been undressing for over a hundred years. And how they should go further and show a little cleavage.

What the fuck

the way calling for the deportation of any visible non-white person is rapidly becoming normalized is a huge cause for concern.

This doesn’t count you should do it and send me some money

Cartoon Network’s Last Gasp The irreverent animation factory once cranked out hits, talent and profits. But with David Zaslav’s retreat from streaming kids programming, the future of the network is in question.

Picture of Five O’ Clock Au Gingembre’s accords and notes, from Parfumo. It is rated as spicy, woody, sweet, gourmand, oriental and fresh, with notes of candied ginger, bergamot and spices (there is no progression, these notes all appear at once).

Tired, had a hard day with some odd nausea, so I wore Five o’ Clock Au Gingembre as my #sotd to cut the ick. Ginger has a great anti-emetic effect - even the smell makes me feel better. The scent is sweet, fresh, and light.

Coming in hot to say that Habanita is so worth it

A Texas lawyer gave some informal advice to undocumented immigrants. He later had unidentified agents from ICE show up at his door.

A tech oddity: His Wifi went down right before the officers' visit and came back soon after, meaning their visit wasn't recorded.

COVID-19 re-infection doubles risk of long COVID in kids, young adults, data reveal The second infection was also tied to a 50% or greater increase in several specific long-COVID conditions, including myocarditis and fatigue.

Agree and I think one reason for that is the trauma’s still accumulating. The data on long-term symptoms from reinfection is rough; a big number of people are still getting sick and staying sick, while the culture broadly insists everything is fine. There’s just so much that’s unprocessed.

Cop City is officially opening today, made possible only through extreme state violence –– including the murder of Tortuguita, clearcutting of forest land, and mass criminalization of protestors.

But the fight does go on. And support for those facing charges is still critical.

also worth emphasizing that U.S. policing is *unusually bad and incompetent.*. British police have fucked up plenty of stuff - see the Spy Cops scandal - but not on the routine and enormous scale that U.S. cops do.

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

Every time we allow ICE to keep up its reign of terror - the more we sign up for this kind of “mistake” being a part of a lot of our lives.

your daughter will be a tradwife. it will be feminine. it will be fertile. it will restore our national character. it will make america great again. oh my daughter? my daughter will post tradwife content based on the staging work of many domestic workers

your child will toil valiantly in the factory. it will be masculine. it will restore our national character. it will make america great again. oh my child? my child will run a lucrative rightwing podcast

in case you’re wondering what the cops at Cop City are being “trained” on here’s a reel that the Atlanta Police Foundation shared, showing how they’re training to use horses to “manage large crowds” (aka protests)

they're building the camps. they're telling mainstream reporters they'll invoke the insurrection act to use military assets to effect arrests once they've built the camps. it's all happening here, right now.
