Every one of these spineless fuckers needs to be fired, arrested, and shamed into seclusion for the rest of their shitty, pitiful lives.
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Republicans are in power. They can stop a shutdown.
Instead of doing their jobs, they’re inflicting real pain on working people.
Trump & his billionaire buddies (who just got a massive tax cut) won’t be hurt in a shutdown. But the American people will.

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

I haven't had time to read up on the latest shooting, but I'm going to post my incredibly radical position that a shooting is bad no matter who did it and no matter who was shot.
Stop trying to crack the code of a shooter's motives and focus on the one thing they all have in common -- the guns.

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database.
Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away.
The cruelty is the point.

The word “autism” was first used to describe behavioral differences in children in 1911 but autism has been documented using available records going back to the 1700s (definitively) and further.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol, paracetamol) was discovered in 1878 and first sold in the United States in 1950.

Trump is aggressively ignorant. He does not learn, actively resists it, and has surrounded himself with people who enable his stupidity.

Acetaminophen/paracetamol use in pregnancy doesn't cause autism, no matter what RFK says this week. This is not an unsettled question. Evidence summarized here: sciencebasedmedicine.org/tylenol-and-...

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.
