Tuberculosis has been circulating in ICE prisons for months. I wrote it back in August and there is no doubt in my mind that there are way more outbreaks than we're aware of. We have to get people out of these camps.

Doctors and medical researchers expect more outbreaks of infectious disease as the Trump administration crams thousands more people into miserable conditions.

A scammer just tried exactly this on me via WhatsApp. Glad I saw a post here recently outlining the scam - it would be very easy to fall for. The “hotel” account had an unconvincing name, but they had my name, number & reservation dates. lifehacker.com/money/hotel-...
This New Hotel Reservation Scam Is Fooling People Who Use Sites Like Booking.com
If you've booked a hotel through a platform like Booking.com or Expedia, beware any communication that directs you to confirm your payment details to hold your reservation.

Dehumanizing the victims of authority is part of the fascism. Don't buy it
If you're not Minnesotan, you might not know that the late Philando Castile is a major reason we got free school lunches for all children in the state. When he was alive, Castile was a cafeteria worker who covered the cost of lunch for children who were too poor to eat. 1/x
ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Yes, elections matter and we are now in primaries which are the time to choose candidates we don't need to complain about after the election.
And voting is one of the many things we must do, along with protests, along with keeping each other alive.

People magazine reported from Turning Point USA AmericaFest: host Jesse Watters said the ballroom President Trump wants to build next to the White House is “four times the size of the White House.” Trump told him: “Jesse, it’s a monument. I’m building a monument to myself because no one else will.”
