This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
Not one dime for this cruelty.

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.
And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.
As the Constitution requires.
Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

This explains some of the weirdness I've seen floating around in tech spaces.

A diabetic woman with an infected foot, a man with a facial tumor the size of a tennis ball: These are patients at the Samaritan Clinic, which serves people without health insurance in Albany, GA.
Not far from it is the region's largest hospital. So why do some residents turn to Samaritan for care?

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

DHS has lied to me often enough in unambiguous ways that I only record their responses for whatever future tribunal follows this insanity.
Update: DHS sent a statement denying that medicine was withheld from Amalia after her return to detention.
But her lawyer says there’s no evidence in Dilley’s records that the girl’s prescription was ever administered, “which is consistent with her parents' accounts.”

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress.
“She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me.
But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.
