"Hurling dildos at WNBA players had a very particular message: You may think you are elite athletes, but to us you are still here to be mocked & sexualized & demeaned.

NEW: The FDA may yank Pfizer's under-5 Covid vaccine this fall. Pfizer has the only pediatric vaccines for all kids over six months, not just those with health conditions. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Pfizer Covid vaccine for young children may not be renewed by FDA
Email obtained by Guardian says Pfizer was told approval may not be granted, meaning Moderna may have to fill gap

This is the danger of a fundamentally performative president, a leader for whom the political benefits of calling in the National Guard outranks the far greater risks, which is that such a decision destabilizes a city and forces everyone into ever more extreme positions.

This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented.
So ICE took her into custody.
