New, from me: DHS says immigration enforcement employees like ICE are facing unprecedented threats and 1000% increase in assaults. But the data does not add up. Look at the details, and we see state agents using excessive force, and then lying about it.

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.
Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

A month ago, RFK Jr. called his CDC director “unimpeachable.”
Then she refused to sign off on his plan to put little kids’ health at risk, and he fired her.
RFK Jr. should resign.

Well, hope everyone is pleased with themselves. So much energy spent shoving kids back into schools and none spent on making those places objectively safer. But I guess their need to socialize was far more important than their long-term health or cognitive functions.
Long COVID is now the number one chronic illness afflicting children, surpassing asthma.
Yet we're refusing to use tools that could prevent recurrent infections in kids, like clean air or Far UVC, preferring to repeat propaganda about COVID's harmlessness
