Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade.
The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances.
Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S.
Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.

Yes. I got boosted a couple of years ago after I had my titers done and discovered I didn't have immunity anymore.
Boosting this! I got my titers checked when the TX measles outbreak happened, and it turned out I was no longer immune to measles so I got the vax again. (I originally got the MMR vax in 1989 and still had immunity to mumps and rubella.)
If you're an adult who was vaccinated, you should get your titers run to make sure you still have immunity. Vaccination can wane and/or you may not have generated a strong immune response. That was ok when we had herd immunity but we're likely about to lose our "measles free" status.

There is very likely going to be a blue wave in November 2026. Trump will do what he can to disturb the election and stop Rs from losing the House. It probably won't work, but the probability of a tail outcome is worrisome, and the attempt is the story

Vaccinate your kids, you friggin nuts.
Measles cases this year have reached nearly 26% of last year's total cases, which totaled 2,255.

My operating assumption is that he tried to do a hasty coup in 2020 that failed, and so everything he does in his second term should be understood as laying the groundwork for a second coup to succeed.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Just saw a big-name account repost a “100 mile zone” map that said something along the lines of “this is what CBP views as the border.”
THAT IS NOT CORRECT.
The CBP can operate anywhere. The 100 mile zone is where they have EXTRA powers.

I’m seeing a lot of calls for punishment of ICE agents and DHS leadership.
But don’t forget that a thirst for punishment can leave the victims behind. Our top priority should be rebuilding the communities that ICE is trying to destroy.

There’s a lot being said about ICE paralleling fugitive slave patrols. As a historian of slavery, I think it’s far more complicated than most are articulating. A lot of historical context and power dynamics are being mashed up in the process.
