Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water.
These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested.
They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

It’s not for me to say what DGA should do but just as a matter of power analysis I think Dell and Boots are right on this.

RFK Jr.’s damage to the CDC is ‘past the point of no return,’ Dr. Demetre Daskalakis warns
“The CDC you knew is over,” the infectious diseases doctor told The Advocate. “Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.”

Tired, had a hard day with some odd nausea, so I wore Five o’ Clock Au Gingembre as my #sotd to cut the ick. Ginger has a great anti-emetic effect - even the smell makes me feel better. The scent is sweet, fresh, and light.

A Texas lawyer gave some informal advice to undocumented immigrants. He later had unidentified agents from ICE show up at his door.
A tech oddity: His Wifi went down right before the officers' visit and came back soon after, meaning their visit wasn't recorded.

Agree and I think one reason for that is the trauma’s still accumulating. The data on long-term symptoms from reinfection is rough; a big number of people are still getting sick and staying sick, while the culture broadly insists everything is fine. There’s just so much that’s unprocessed.
COVID-19 re-infection doubles risk of long COVID in kids, young adults, data reveal
The second infection was also tied to a 50% or greater increase in several specific long-COVID conditions, including myocarditis and fatigue.

Cop City is officially opening today, made possible only through extreme state violence –– including the murder of Tortuguita, clearcutting of forest land, and mass criminalization of protestors.
But the fight does go on. And support for those facing charges is still critical.

also worth emphasizing that U.S. policing is *unusually bad and incompetent.*. British police have fucked up plenty of stuff - see the Spy Cops scandal - but not on the routine and enormous scale that U.S. cops do.
Incidents like this — law enforcement entering the wrong house — are already far too common.
Go read @radleybalko.bsky.social "Rise of the Warrior Cop." It details how military-style policing has been normalized over decades and how common adverse outcomes come from mistakes on addresses.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.
