They grabbed him
Detained him for 100 Days and are sending him to El Salvador without letting him say goodbye to his family

The Trump Admin is using government websites and the emails of civil servants to promote blatantly partisan propaganda about the government shutdown.
This is an intolerable abuse of power and a form of bureaucratic identity theft from federal workers.

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record.
I just don't know what to say anymore.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

⚠️TYLENOL & AUTISM—RFK Jr & Trump are wrong—the largest best study in the world in 2.5 MILLION KIDS—found no increased autism risk with acetaminophen (aka paracetamol/Tylenol). A crude analysis found only a tiny 5% risk, but once you adjust via sibling controls, the even tiny 5% risk vaporizes to 0%📉

This is an extraordinary article in many ways. But:
1) “it left unarmed North Koreans dead” is a polite way of phrasing “SEALS killed them.”
2) It isn’t until paragraph 59 that the NYT tells us the people the seals killed were civilians. They were fishing, and America killed them.

It's funny how vaccines worked so well that now infant mortality is low enough for all the new generations to forget it was ever a common thing.
Vaccine stability has made us forget why it was so important in the first place.
Before vaccines, 450 children died out of every 1000. Now? 20.
