Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

In a world awash with negative science/health news this is unashamedly great news. connectsci.au/news/news-pa...

"The San Francisco city attorney will file the nation’s first government lawsuit against food manufacturers over ultraprocessed fare, arguing that cities and counties have been burdened with the costs of treating diseases that stem from the companies’ products." Everyone agrees here. Rare! #Pinks

I don’t consider ICE to be a law-enforcement organization. I consider them to be an organized crime syndicate. Nothing more, nothing less.

Since "sweeps" is an amorphous and ambiguous term, Bruce Harrell could claim he wasn't engaging in them (while clearly doing so) and KIRO can say that Katie Wilson wants to eliminate them (which she has not said she will do).

Viral musical sensation Jesse Welles brings his GRAMMY-nominated political folk to the Ed Sullivan Theater for a solo performance of "Join ICE," a tune from his latest EP, 'No Kings.'
