1. ICE has STOPPED PAYING for medical treatment for its 73,000 detainees ICE has not paid its bills to 3rd party providers since OCTOBER and the situation will likely persist for MONTHS, a Popular Information investigation reveals Meanwhile, critically ill ICE detainees are not receiving care 🧵

#Medsky🧪 #IDsky #publichealth In 2025 CDC recorded outbreaks in 24 states & confirmed 2,144 cases ➡️ the highest total since 1991. A large majority of infections were in children, with 69 % occurring in those aged 19 & younger. Among those cases, All unvaccinated…

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

Decades ago I first learned of ME/CFS in the newspaper. I believe it was the Lyndonville NY cluster in 1985. The article's photo had both parents standing over their bedridden son. Event is referenced below. Incline Village, NV cluster is also mentioned. www.cell.com/trends/immun...

Ignore the political pundits. They’ve failed us. The media is failing us. Listen to the historians. This is Conservative historian Robert Kagan on what is happening in Minneapolis & what it means for the US…& the world 3/

There’s a tuberculosis outbreak at an Amazon warehouse in the UK. Sick leave? Respiratory protection? Building ventilation? State of workers T cells? We *must* accept respiratory protection as part of our “new 💩 normal”. www.unilad.com/news/world-n...

Excitingly, we've had our first X-class solar flare of the year: it was incredibly long-lived and full-halo'd (we're making up words over here), and most importantly, Earth directed. It's measured at X 1.95, and is expected to make landfall between 00:00-6:00 GMT 26 Jan. #northernlights #aurora

Chemical irritants were shot in the direction of protestors' faces within the same neighbourhood and on the same day as the shooting of Renee Good. Watch our analysis of one federal agent’s actions with @evidentmedia.org below: youtube.com/shorts/ETSQd...

These filters are used in a #CorsiRosenthalBox. Let the filter collect these particulates instead of your lungs.

This opens up wider questions about how far the UK and Canada in the 5 eyes intel sharing framework as well as other former allies of the United States can still provide the Americans with any sensitive intelligence information at all

BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good? BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model. ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

This is deeply disturbing, especially after reports of growing concerns about the conditions at this facility. An investigation must take place. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

#Chicago is a raging inferno of COVlD right now. The CDC places Illinois in "Very High" transmission, especially in Chicago. We estimate that 1 in 17 residents statewide are actively infectious. If people are not testing or isolating, there is a 78% chance of exposure in a room of 25 people.

December 2025 was the 5th warmest December on record globally. This month was about 1.42°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average. Note the sharp temperature anomaly contrast across North America! Summary of month from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social: climate.copernicus.eu/surface-air-... 🌊🧪⚒️

Building a #Corsi-Rosenthal box costs about $40 and 1 hour of your time. A 10 year old can build one. It's cheaper and more effective than a HEPA filter because of the stronger fan. It's peak disease season right now.

🚨CDC estimates that there have been >15,000,000 illnesses, 180K hospitalizations, and 7,400 deaths (including 17 children) from flu in 2025-26 season. ⚠️Get a flu shot. Avoid crowds. Wear a well fitted N95 respirator. Stay home when you have symptoms. Protects each other. #MaskTogetherAmerica please!

How about we just go ahead and release the rest od the Epstein files as required by law

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

ICE agents are already in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 242 (Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law), making it a crime for officials to willfully violate constitutional rights or subject people to different treatment based on race or alien status.

Dan Goldman, Eric Swalwell plan bill to strip ICE officers of qualified immunity share.google/RX1D4S8OwwHA...

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

Mask wearing is much more useful than hand washing against Flu A in a tested office setting. Total risk reduces 8.75% to 0.45% w/N95 on the infected student. Influenza A transmission risk: Long-range airborne: 54.3% Close contact aerosols: 44.5% Fomite: 4.2% pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

70% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.” As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.

Yes, that does say it all.

That awkward moment when your past foreign policy faceplants in real time.

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

BREAKING: ICE agents pepper-spray peaceful demonstrators and journalists and deploy chemical irritants in Minneapolis. Our partners @statuscoupnews.bsky.social captured the moment live on the ground as it happened.

Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

I think it’s important to point out: ICE does NOT have the same authority as a police officer. They do NOT have the power to enforce laws, only to engage in their specific tasks. IE: they don’t do traffic, etc. impeding traffic is not a penalty ICE can enforce against
