a long, detailed account of numerous unconstitutional actions by the CBP in Charlotte

BREAKING: Louisiana health official who ordered his health department to stop promoting mass vaccinations during a surge in flu cases this winter has been tapped to be the new number 2 at @CDCgov. My story. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Five years ago, we all applauded nurses, public health, and health care workers every evening for saving lives. Today, the federal government does not consider these workers professional. This says everything about the state of US health care.

Also, every service. Basically every visit to see my mom is 50% working through 2FA systems with her so she can pay utility bills.

Patient came in with sore throat. While waiting for rapid Strep test result we glanced back at the Covid-19 RAT result: positive. Reminder that masking in health care makes sense, if you don’t want everyone in your waiting room to go home sick, your staff to get sick, and physicians to get sick.

For those saying there will be no consequences for Bovino. Maybe. But DOJ has had to dismiss a slew of cases bc of this, and Bovino seems to now spend his time trolling on Xitter (he likes to call me "empty tire" when I note he's an adjudged liar).

Here's how Greg Bovino denies tackling Scott Blackburn, while watching a video showing him tacking Scott Blackburn. legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

BP public affairs posts for B ovino.

NEW: DOJ posted the exhibits involved in the Chicago protesters/press case, including Gregory Bovino's deposition. He is a real charmer (before they even got to the substance of the case)! Notice: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Bovino: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

To do what? I defer to those far smarter than me but pretty sure they're immune from prosecution for their remarks.

This is wild. Under Atkins, SCiLL is modeling the civic virtues of a banana republic. @unc-ch-aaup.bsky.social www.dailytarheel.com/article/inve...

Fear is contagious, but so is courage. I remain steadfast in my oath to the Constitution and am grateful to those across the nation who stand with us. Don't give up the ship.

Pretty amazing that former Meck sheriff (and ICE official) Jim Pendergraph acknowleges—while defending Trump's CBP operation in Charlotte—that he hired unauthorized immigrants to cut his lawn www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Stephen Miller has been promoting this same lie since at least the first No Kings protest.

On the effort to portray current protests as something only Boomers do. (in a nyt column and in tweets from the right, particularly one big account from the Asheville area):

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

1892 – The first Black college football game was played between Biddle University (Johnson C. Smith) and Livingstone College.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired. If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

I acknowledge my examples were technically not Gen Z but Alpha & maybe I should've used better examples but my point stands: Gen Z is absolutely fucking activated & engaged and implying they're not based on 1 poll and 2 throwaway comments is quite simply bush league BS no matter who the author is

Join us this evening at 6:30pm to gather in support of our immigrant brothers and sisters. Please bring canned goods and/or monetary offerings for food deliveries to our vulnerable neighbors.

I have zero patience these days for bad hot takes from the big league folks they ARE protesting I see them where I live & I see them all over social media in photos the data he's relying on (1 poll & 2 throwaway comments from 2 newspapers) is not nearly enough to base an entire article on imo

As someone who has seen people responding in Chicago and Charlotte, I think this piece is way off. Plenty of Gen z folks are on the front line response. Broadview, Illinois protest have largely been led by Gen Z

I would never call Mr. Nynan’s opinion idiotic. The column and reaction to it point more to a fractured media platform environment. Friday night on Central Avenue put this thesis to rest in Charlotte. What’s interesting are how the different groups and generations work together. #ncpol #charlotte

uh, well, a LOT of them are making their *own* protests all anyone has to do is search 'school walkout ice' on Kagi to understand how idiotic this take is abc7.com/post/200-stu... abc11.com/post/ice-nc-...

BREAKING: The case against Letitia James has ALSO been dismissed without prejudice.

On this Monday, a reminder of what is, and is not, leadership. Have a peaceful day. Remember to be kind. ⚘️

i just want to say that i wrote this exactly one year ago.

Thanks for playing.

No, murders in Charlotte's uptown are not up "200%". www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

Last thing: ICE is still here. Bovino moved on but one of the biggest ICE offices in the South is still at work ripping my neighbors away from this community. Nobody at ICE left when CBP headed off to drive headlines elsewhere.
