Blunt advice from Durham County Health! Every health organization should be doing this!

Armies move on their stomachs. The private sector is making ICE possible, at a rich profit. An organized boycott could turn that business move into a liability.

On Wednesday, Renee Macklin Good was fatally shot by a federal ICE agent. Becca Good, her wife, shared the following statement with MPR News.

The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good must be prosecuted for murder. He enjoys no immunity from state murder charges. Then, Blue state governors must call up their National Guard to protect us from the armed ICE terrorists. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video. The Trump administration is lying.

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

Has anyone in the press asked how many people were killed?

great advice I'm going to try to take to heart this year:

A message for you all to carry through the year

"The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous, rather than cowardly." Robert A. Wilson

The public: "We are desperate for help with the cost of living. Please do something." Trump administration: "Penis."

1/ At bargaining yesterday, @propublica.org management said that they should have 100% discretion to replace workers with AI and would not commit to labeling future AI-generated content.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

So much of what the administration does is signaling that peaceful coexistence with them is impossible because they are just true assholes

I swear maybe once a decade in public, and this is the moment. This fucking racist and all the gibbering racists nodding along behind him are the ruination of our country. Our fucking job for the next fucking year is to fucking destroy them in the next election. Fuck them.

Striking a boat full of unarmed civilians is murder. The first strike was murder. The followup strike was also murder. We're not at war. It's not a "war crime". Everyone involved, including the POTUS, SecDef, the Admiral who relayed it and the person who pressed the button needs to be on trial.

NEW: Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. The USDA didn’t test the theory after a disastrous Midwestern outbreak. Here’s how we did. By @natlash.bsky.social

Charlotte-Mecklebburg Schools, according to reports, saw 15% of its students absent today amid Border Patrol operations in Charlotte. If that percentage of 15% happens Tuesday in Wake County due to the Border Patrol coming to Raleigh, 24.000 students could be absent from school. #nced #ncpol #wcpss

Oh hey, I found the war on christmas

3. With that in mind, let me be very, very clear. The mainstreaming of anti-vax ideology and the disregard and vilification of non-pharmaceutical interventions, including masking, has rendered the US more vulnerable to biological attack than at any time in its history.

We have zero plans to put AI in LibreOffice, of course. Our focus is privacy and letting you control your data. Some users want AI features and they can get them via optional extensions made by the community – but we won't put it in the app itself.

Major disasters caused $101 billion in damages in the first half of 2025 — the costliest six month period on record. How do we know? A nonprofit had to take over NOAA’s work tracking disasters, which Trump gutted. What else doesn’t he want us to know?

some good news! the brilliant Dr. Marr is working with a huge team on detecting and responding to airborne contaminants in indoor air. Including Covid! Flu! RSV! Mold! and 21 others. news.vt.edu/articles/202...

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight. Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Looks like the scammers who were going this all on various Mastodon servers a month or two ago have found a new target: Bsky.

Donald Trump's effort to deploy troops in American cities is not normal. There is no rational justification for such a deployment. It is a breach of the most fundamental values and customs that our armed forces operate on.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/12/m...

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal. The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

In the throat of fascism, you have to make yourself impossible to swallow. If you shink and silence yourself, it will gulp you down. Are you an oyster or a hedgehog?

Remember: Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes every year. They pay into government funded healthcare programs, but can't access them except in case of emergency. Emergency Medicaid spending accounted for less than 1% of total Medicaid spending in 2023.

Donald Trump is attempting to impose his authoritarian rule across the United States. Sending troops to cities against their will is unconstitutional and un-American. Stand up, speak out, and be loud against it.

Jesse Watters just called for the bombing of the UN on national television. FCC? Nothing? Crickets? Got it.

A healthy public health response would have expanded, rather than narrowed, the tools in our anti-COVID toolkit since 2021. Instead, institutional mitigations like clean air were never implemented, and now the last tool standing is under attack. www.thegauntlet.news/p/with-rfks-...

President Restraining Order hates free speech so much you’d think it was a girl turning fifteen

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.
