In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.

He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.

Get ready. Trump is going to fire most of the VA workforce, 70% of which are Veterans, then to "fix" the problems he created, he's going to privatize the VA and send our veterans to expensive, shitty corporate health mills after he slashes health benefits so he and his buddies can get richer.

to the extent that "republican" or "conservative" still mean anything, everything miller believes is in opposition. the reason that this seems so strange to read is because the median elected republican is neither conservative nor believes in republican values (or, really, anything at all)

Maybe this new blog can respond, in one of its first posts, to the argument that the term “interim docket” is a deliberately misleading attempt to minimize the (very permanent) doctrinal and real-world consequences of #SCOTUS’s rulings on emergency applications?

The Heritage Foundation is an authoritarian Christian Nationalist organization.

Treat their people accordingly.
In case you ever needed proof that the Heritage Foundation is not a conservative organization, here we have them cheering on the Federal Government threatening to strip all funding from a state that does not make political decisions the President likes. Any true conservative would be howling.
The US government is now a mafia organization.

Outbreaks like this will continue in 2026 because the necessary vaccination rate for community immunity is around 95% and there are many areas - like this one - where the childhood vax rate is <90%.

There is a safe and effective vaccine that has been used for decades. None of this has to happen.
