“Unless you’re dying or bleeding out … they’re not going to come,” a guard told Rodney Taylor, who's locked up by ICE and is a double amputee. What it's like for detainees w/disabilities now: theguardian.com/us-news/2025/a… @equalityAlec @NIJC

@ReichlinMelnick and the journalists are pretending to do journalism

What an absolute joke. Everyone here is pretending. Bukele is pretending that he's incapable of releasing someone his own jail is holding at US expense, and Trump is pretending he can't just ask Bukele to release the guy. And meanwhile, Mr. Abrego rots in prison.

this is actually incredible

Trump/Rubio's new best buddy Bukele visits WH. Who is he? READ El Salvador's best journalism (in English!) to know. Ft. pg.: "Salvadoran prisons are black boxes...reports of systematic torture...at least 375 people have died in custody." elfaro.net/en?ref=home

Atlanta Police Fdn –richest in the US, force behind 'Cop City'–didn't give records to a nonprofit news site, saying not subject to open records law. Now a judge decides if that's true: @InvisiblesMuros @equalityAlec @kamaufranklin theguardian.com/us-news/2025/a…

Your health is at risk. My wife is a PhD microbiologist. She retired from the FDA in 2018. She and her team did vital research on food safety. They developed rapid testing methods for detecting pathogens (one of her tests was adopted by McDonalds). She was involved in identifying the pathogens found in BlueBell ice cream and Jack-in-the-Box and many other cases. There were a dozen or so other teams in her lab working to save lives and make food safer. They all got the axe today. And don't give me the BS that the FDA is corrupt. These are scientists not politicians. She couldn't even accept a box of donuts from an equipment salesman and they made me sell my stock in OXO Good Grips because the FDA regulates kitchen tools. They worked long and hard for you. This is sad.

This country's streets right now:

IN addition to the other details, THIS one is vital:

The humanitarian situation in Gaza has surpassed the disaster stage… Basic medicines and emergency drugs are no longer available in the Strip… We call on the people of the Strip to go to hospitals and donate blood… The occupation has destroyed most of the essential medical services in the Strip… People with chronic diseases are dying due to the lack of medicines. الوضع الإنساني في غزة تجاوز مرحلة الكارثة… الأدوية الأساسية وأدوية الطوارئ باتت غير متوفرة في القطاع… ندعو أهل القطاع للتوجه إلى المستشفيات للتبرع بالدم… الاحتلال دمر أغلب الخدمات الطبية الأساسية في القطاع… أصحاب الأمراض المزمنة يموتون بسبب نقص الأدوية

NEWS: The U.N. tells all its staff members in NY in an email to carry UN ID cards & copies of their passports showing their visas at all times in case ICE agents stop them. First time UN has ever done this, spox says.

So who decides now if someone is a gang member or if someone has a valid asylum claim under the law? Tom Homan? A random ICE agent? A local Sheriff’s deputy? A neighbor? An informant? So they just say a person is in a gang and they get disappeared to a prison in El Salvador?

Slashing the IRS workforce is a handout for the rich: the top 10% of earners account for 64% of unpaid taxes in the US, and the top 1% accounts for a whopping 28%. cc: @The_Budget_Lab
