“I don’t think anyone really cares about the fact he’s illegal,” said Gabriel Doyle Scar, 17, who helped organize the protest. “We’re just sad about the fact that an extremely nice man that supported us heavily and really strongly is now taken away from us.”

🔴#GAZA - Última hora: Esta mañana, un ataque perpetrado por las fuerzas israelíes ha asesinado a nuestro colega Omar Hayek. Omar, de 42 años, es nuestro decimocuarto compañero asesinado en Gaza desde el 7 de octubre de 2023. Omar falleció de camino a su trabajo en el hospital.

💔 This is Omar Hayek. He was a kind man, the sole provider for his family, & one who brought the highest level of professionalism to his work as an occupational therapist for @msf.ca. This morning, Omar became our 14th colleague killed in an #Israeli attack.

Depends on "intelligence that indicates there’s illegal alienage." And how they look compared with Chip.

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’” It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

A classic Kavanaugh Stop chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

We take care of everyone, including racist pieces of shite. So lucky you.

The Catholic Church is more in line with science than the current administration and holy shit

Gabapentin has only ever showed evidence of therapeutic benefit in very few, limited conditions yet it is the fifth most prescribed medicine in the US. The continued extreme focus on prescription opioids has created entirely new problems that are not only being ignored but don’t even have solutions

“You kill people and break things for a living” is one of the most insane sentences I’ve ever heard

Maybe it's okay if the media just highlights when the administration does something *precedented* Would save a little space in the headlines

¡Feliz (y reivindicativo) Día del Traductor! Tal como hacía en Twitter, aprovecho este día para subir una foto actualizada de mis traducciones (¡este año he tenido que pasar de tres baldas a cuatro!), aunque hay bastantes que no tengo. De paso, también haré un hilo con todo lo que he traducido.

Fevers (from an infection) are almost never a cause of harm. Hyperthermia from working in the sun, however, can kill you dead. This field worker in Florida hit 102.7 F (39.3c). www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solu...

Worthwhile just for reminding us of the Shirley Sherrod case alone.

"If this goes the wrong way, it would be on par with Dred Scott. But Dred Scott happened."

DHS account unhinged with the Manifest Destiny theme.

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

Happy World Translation Day and remember translators are the keystone of intercultural dialogue. Culture is a dimension of humanity and so translation is necessarily a human affair. Credit, pay, cherish, love, listen to your translators. In return, we make the world spin towards understanding.

I was crying listening to these two teenagers talk lovingly about their father, who was taken into ICE custody for no reason this week. Our government is doing unforgivable things to good people in our community.

The last coal-fired power plant in New England has completely shut. Whether its battery/solar future will happen is less certain than it was a year ago. www.concordmonitor.com/2025/09/29/c...

New York Times: rural hospitals shutting down because of the republican bill puts a spotlight on Biden’s policies

With Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl we're getting a really bad case of idiot gringos lecturing other idiot gringos that "PuERTo RICo Is PaRt oF the UNItED STAtes," a claim that the Supreme Court of the United States has rejected for over 100 years and says instead that the USA "merely" OWNS us

he looks like he's in a monty python sketch he looks like he inspired megan amram's avatar he looks like he is telling riggs he has diplomatic immunity

this is why you can’t give an inch to transphobes. they are driven by hate and no amount of kindness will make them even momentarily soften. it is a militant ideology.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

"In August we got her blood test results after three months of antibiotics. We were stunned. Her borrelia levels had dropped from 430.50 to 6. The treatment had obliterated the infection." Three months of antibiotics. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

“There has been an extreme shift. This treatment is authorizing the idea that white supremacy and racism is not just a conservative idea, but a legitimate one.”

Now, more than ever, we need to stand up against attacks on the concept of expertise, to push back on the idea that all arguments, no matter how poorly-supported or financially-conflicted, as equally valid.

Old enough to remember "I ain’t gonna play Sun City."

Unbelievable. Yale believes it's worth $45M to be rid of this mess. Doesn't bode well (IMHO) for eventual sale or survival of the hospitals. Wish we had real state leadership here. #ThanksNed www.nhregister.com/business/art...

“Translators and interpreters do not exchange words; they exchange meanings.” Some doctors at work were getting excited about using instant Airpod translation in the ER. I can't think of a worse place to try this... wapo.st/484wX8j

Well he’s currently filming or still writing the script for the movie about Águila Blanca titled “Porto Rico” which he’s directing in his film studio 1868 Studios. On the other hand, Kristian Mercado is directing a Pedro Albizu film starring Ismael Cruz Córdova.

So many echoes from this article for US politics....

PE execs aren’t threatened by lawsuits, license loss, burnout and suicide when this happens but the doctors and staff that bear the brunt of the cost cutting so. Ask me why I know this.

Allow me, if you will, a small brag: Middle aged patient. Obtunded. Context suggests suicide attempt. Me: enters room. Stands at foot of bed observing while EMS gives report, nurses start lines, etc. I notice pt breathing just a little too rapidly and deeply. “Ah shit,” says I, “salicylates.”

ICE official confirms that the detainees who were shot were restrained when they were shot

Republicans, Trump included, are zeroing in on transgender people and blaming us for the looming government shutdown. They are demanding that Democrats cave on transgender rights. Many of them are copying the same talking points in their messages.
