Once again, a shooting with multiple victims has rocked Colorado – this time at a high school in Evergreen.

It is the 47th shooting at a school in the United States so far this year — 24 of which were on college campuses and 23 on K-12 school grounds.

ICE detains Arizona woman with green card—deny her life saving cancer treatment.

She is coughing up blood, too weak to stand, experiencing numbing—and has lost 55 pounds.

She will die without medical treatment—has been locked up 6 months without access to a leukemia specialist.

The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS!

Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store.

He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.

The Pacific Northwest’s cherry crop was expected to be a boon for farmers this year. The fruit this season was high quality, and production was up compared to last year. But with a shortage of migrant workers early in the season and then high prices at the grocery store, it was more of a bust.

A rainbow crosswalk in Orlando that was part of the city’s Pulse Memorial was painted over by the state last night at the order of Ron DeSantis.

The memorial honored the 49 people fatally shot by a gunman at the Pulse LGBTQ nightclub in 2016 — the largest mass shooting in the country at the time.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
Release from HHS: HHS will wind down its development of the mRNA vaccine development activities under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

I can’t believe that “illegals” seems to have become broadly accepted as the noun referring to basically all immigrants who haven’t completed all the steps to become permanent residents.

It’s not even a good descriptor and it’s such a nasty, toxic word.

Can #Portland turn a corner? We can, we have, and we won't be deterred by the haters.

"Locals see signs of rebirth" says it all. There's more to come, with brighter days ahead.

The Supreme Court’s decision to hear Oklahoma’s religious charter school case risks undermining the separation of church and state. Public funds should support education for all, not evangelism. Turning public schools into sectarian institutions threatens democracy and inclusivity.
