Crazy shit that no one remembers from 2025, part one:

Remember when Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem mentioned a cannibal on a deportation flight to justify draconian immigration enforcement procedures?

Neither did I, until I read this. Now that is nucking futs!
Why Won’t ICE Comment on Kristi Noem’s Cannibal Stories?
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said ICE deported a self-eating cannibal but provided no evidence. This plays into centuries of racist fantasies.

Well that sucks for non-unionized people who can't (or won't) get their health insurance from their workplace. Which is the majority, considering how few people are part of a union (like me). Believe me, I understand the pain: I used to get insurance off of NJ's marketplace before I joined NJEA.
My health care costs are going up. So I made a video series figuring out why and who's to blame.
No one is more motivated to understand this topic than a 26-year-old journalist with a marketplace plan.

Truly tragic story. Decades of disinvestment in poorer communities and in environmental cleanup in general has resulted in mass lead poisonings of people in eastern Omaha, Nebraska. The Trump Administration's deregulation of the Environmental Protection Agency has made it worse.
