A fire is burning outside the Delaney Hall ICE facility. Protesters are still chanting "Chinga La Migra" even as police push them back with horses, chemical munitions, and projectiles.

The people responsible for January 6th say it was just a protest. Now, outside Delaney Hall, authorities are requiring people to gather in designated, "First Amendment zones." Under the Trump administration's logic, people should be able to storm Delaney Hall and get $1.776 billion dollars for it.

The CDC just asked its workforce to volunteer for Ebola airport screenings as the epidemic rages on in the DRC and Uganda. This is similar to what they did during the 2014 Ebola outbreak. Just one little problem: they terminated a third of their staff, and gutted the entire Ebola taskforce.

The 'most transparent administration in history' just proposed forcing federal employees to sign NDAs so that they aren’t able to share public, non-confidential information with the press. This information comes from a draft notice the Office of Personnel Management posted on Tuesday.

Is America "under-babied?" Scratch the surface of the so-called pronatalism movement and what surfaces are a modernized eugenics and white nationalist movement.

David Venturella spent over a decade as a GEO Group executive. Now he is about to run ICE. GEO is the largest private prisoner, and houses a third of all ICE detainees, owns 23 facilities with 26,000 beds. The ethics rule that should have blocked him? Waived.

OpenAI is being sued for allegedly helping plan the FSU mass shooting. They also support a bill (Illinois Senate Bill 3444) that would make it nearly impossible to sue AI companies for exactly that. They are writing their own get-out-of-jail-free cards in real time.

JD Vance and Peter Thiel aren't just “anti-democracy.” They're embedded in a white nationalist, eugenicist movement most Americans have never heard of. That should be front-page news every single day.

Dr. Oz is in the White House right now standing next to Trump and announcing to America that 1 in 3 Americans are “underbabied” and do not have enough kids according to him. Are we in America, or Gilead? Because I feel like I'm living in the Handmaids Tale.

As Mother's Day comes to an end, all I can think about is how somewhere tonight, a mother is sleeping on a cold floor in an ICE detention center, her arms empty, aching for her child. And somewhere, a child is crying for a mom they cannot reach.

Hot take that isn't actually a hot take: Creating the conditions that exacerbate mental illness, then removing access to psychiatric medication, is in fact eugenics.

Why do I spend so much time investigating JD Vance? Because the universe has a sense of humor. Turns out the best weapon against one traumatized Ohioan who made it out and went off the rails (Vance)... is another traumatized Ohioan who made it out and got a press badge (me).

Ypsilanti Township, Michigan just voted to cut off water for a year to a planned $1.2 billion data center that would help Los Alamos research nuclear weapons. Residents fear it paints a target on their town, but the lab & the University of Michigan plan to start construction on Monday anyway.

It blows my mind that we got the full dramatic saga of the Lindbergh baby in history class, but somehow his Nazi sympathies — the speeches, the medals from Hitler, the whole thing — just never made the curriculum. Funny how that works.

Just filed my taxes (reluctantly). The good news is only $344 of my income tax dollars are being used so the U.S. government can murder families this year. The bad news is $344 of my tax dollars are still paying to murder families this year.

JD Vance is in Hungary right now attending political rallies to support Viktor Orbán. Why is no one talking about this? Orbán is an authoritarian who has has been in power for sixteen years because of systematically consolidating power. He built exactly the kind of state Vance wants for America.

Trump is threatening to send ICE into airports Monday if Congress doesn't fund DHS his way. ICE has no legal authority to do TSA's job. A sitting president just announced he'll act outside the law if he doesn't get what he wants. This isn't normal. Do not let it become normal.

Cleveland, OH just had a 17,000-pound meteor explode overhead after our windstorms, days of power outages, snow, and tornado watches. This is starting to feel less like Ohio weather and more like a chapter of Revelations.

US & Israel launched a war on Iran without consulting NATO. Iran blockaded the Strait of Hormuz. Now Trump is threatening the alliance if allies won't send ships into a crisis they didn't start. Maybe don't start wars you can't finish.

Epstein, Trump, John Casablanca, Paolo Zampolli They recruited teenagers, controlled their visas and apartments, and isolated them from everyone they knew. They called it the modeling industry. Then they went into government.

My humanity is the one thing they cannot take from me through legislation, through force, through fear. It belongs to me. And I will not surrender it, not even to my own rage, not even in the name of the people we have lost. I will not let them take that too.

I cannot reconcile myself to a world where innocent lives are offered up on the altar of old men's hunger for power. The men who started this are closer to the end of their lives than the beginning and yet it is the young, those with everything still ahead of them, whose lives are being taken.

Hot take: calling everything a "distraction" IS the distraction. These issues aren't competing. They're connected. You are allowed — actually, you are supposed to — care about more than one thing at a time.
