ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from.

We'll let their words speak for themselves.
“I Have Been Here Too Long”: Read Letters from the Children Detained at ICE’s Dilley Facility
Hundreds of children are currently being held with their parents at an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas. In letters and drawings, eight kids convey the pain of feeling trapped with no end...

Matthew's guide made it easy for me to write a public comment opposing the proposed Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services rule banning GAC.

Sex-variables researchers, please join in contributing your expertise to debunk sex bioessentialist myths being used to deny care to trans kids
Public comment on Dr Oz's proposed rules to ban gender-affirming care for youth closes 2/17

One rule bans hospital-based care, the other eliminates Medicaid/CHIP coverage

Together they'd make care virtually unavailable nationwide, including in shield law states

Look I don't wanna boost that Elon post about English / Scots / Irish stuff more than it needs to be boosted but anyone claiming that English / Scots / Irish culture are the same inherent base culture is inherently disqualified from any further commentary on English / Scots / Irish culture.

The difference between Ilia Malinin and Lisa Blatt is that Ilia is a generational talent with good sportsmanship, and Lisa is... not
Man, it was tough last night, watching Ilia Malinin just Lisa Blatt all over the ice like that.

I like that Ghostie is honest about how difficult it is to be a nice/kjnd person and care deeply about others in the world. I like being able to laugh about how shitty life is sometimes, and Ghost is good at those jokes.

I will be the first to admit that I’m just very easy to make laugh a little but @ghostesq.bsky.social will pop out with something so ridiculously funny and witty that I will actually burst out laughing over here. Happy birthday, angel!

This is so evil. PCA makes up so much of the volume not because of fraud, obviously, but because hands on assistance with activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, etc) are incredibly common needs among physically disabled people.
A chart HHS DOGE put on their "Examples" page for the Medicaid data release shows personal care services, residential habilitation, attendant care, i.e. the services that let disabled people live at home. DOGE is inviting the public to treat community living as fraud

🚨 The Trump regime released an HHS Medicaid dataset that can be used to build a ranked hit list of abortion and gender-affirming care providers, organized by patient volume, with names and addresses. They called it open source transparency.

This is part of the current surge of anti-fatness & the emboldening of anti-fat bigotry. The response to a congressman arguing for the deportation of a congresswoman isn't to call him The Whale.

Also, fat shaming was never "verboten in the liberal playbook"?? I WISH, but definitely not!
No. This guy isn’t even a Democrat and fat-shaming is not what people mean when they talk about ‘dark woke’ or ‘woke 2’.

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”
