Random thoughts on ICE trauma porn: For years Black folks on social media have been asking people to not share videos of police violence. Now people are sharing videos of ICE violence. Terrible, traumatic moments in people’s lives shared often without consent.

We always get a lot of trick-or-treaters, but I think fairly decent weather plus Friday night meant even more people were out, because we had over 400 kids.

This is so infuriating; my uncle is a veteran and just entered hospice care due to breast cancer.
NEW: A Department of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica sets up new roadblocks to care for male veterans with breast cancer.
The agency cites no new science but relies on an executive order about “restoring biological truth” in government.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.

I don’t know how you can portray someone who created a “professor watchlist” as a free speech champion or how someone who said vile things about minorities and immigrants was being civil.
