On a night of life-threatening cold, a homeless person entered a Lansing bus station seeking refuge from the freezing temperatures.
Video shows police slamming them to the ground and pinning them with knees on their neck as they plead, "I'm here because it's cold outside, and I have nowhere to go."

I wonder if the New York Times will go after any of the prominent academics in the Epstein files for being rapists as hard as they went after Claudine Gay for being kind of sloppy with citations in her graduate thesis.
If not, why not?

Here’s Duke behavioral economist Dan Ariely asking Jeffrey Epstein for “the name and email of the redhead that was here with you.” This is four years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.

How to Film ICE
Filming federal agents in public is legal, but avoiding a dangerous—even deadly—confrontation isn’t guaranteed. Here’s how to record ICE and CBP agents as safely as possible and have an impact.

As an ID physician who was on the frontlines of #COVID from the beginning and saw countless people die of this disease I find this take from Bhattacharya to be insulting.
It disrespects every healthworker who risked their life and the patients who died.

Wow, this is so painful to watch (on kooky right-wing NEWSMAX, ugh)
If you're a healthcare worker, I suspect it'll infuriate you:
He says you were financially incentivized to SAY your patient died of COVID, even if they didn't actually die of COVID; he says you put that diagnosis just to get $$ 🤯

Senators and staffers will swear to you up and down they can’t do hardcore obstruction or that they tried once and no one cared.
In reality, they can, but it’s hard work and if they’re successful Republicans might change the rules on them to which I say, cool, make them do that.

Our Senate is one of the most singularly, and infamously, powerful counter-majoritarian bodies on the planet. A single senator can halt all business and force debate!

For all the discussion of doxxing federal agents, there’s essentially no discussion of how those agents are taking steps that attach severe punitive measures that stretch across wide swaths of the federal bureaucracy against people acting lawfully.
