Following you folks through Covid "put me back to school"! Thanks for being patient teachers!!
Everytime I hear " but Ice is only going after illegals with criminal recirds"... I think of evidence like this!!
ICE tried to kidnap Elaine Miles an Indigenous woman in Redmond. She showed them her tribal ID card and they still did not believe her. She told them to call the Umatilla Tribal enrollment office but they refused. They even tried to take her phone.

As the first US death from the new Bird Flu strain occurs, remember that the Trump Administration and RFK Jr has cancelled all research for a vaccine to prevent the disease as well as on measures to control it.

A Bluesky Perk: instead of getting your news from media rags written by non scientists.... directly follow those who actually are professionals!!
Thank you Professor Caplan-Auerbach!!
Speaking of bad science in media (and I am using the term "media" pretty loosely here), allow me to use The Daily Mail as evidence of why you should get your science information from reputable agencies rather than crap websites. I'm not going to link the article, but it looks like this:

The people of Chicago won

Trump, Kristi Noem and ICE lost

Not only did Greg Bovino and his agents leave the city in disgrace

A judge ruled that they must release as many as 615 unjustly detained immigrants

Plus-they must stop pressuring immigrants to voluntarily leave

Never
Stop

Saddened to learn of Ken Easley's death.
Many probably never knew, part of his "toughness" came at the expense of his health. He needed a kidney transplant in 1990 (in part probably due to overuse of ibuprofen...). May he Rest In Peace and may others remember his Life!

I’m just a lowly public health professor so what do I know, but I would call starvation irreparably harmful.
The Trump administration tells the Supreme Court it can’t be compelled to fully fund SNAP because paying out the money would “irreparably harm” the government, while SNAP beneficiaries … *won’t* be irreparably harmed by going hungry? The balance of equities here is completely upside down.

How very sad to me. A Lifetime of seeing this we worked for, and now possibly lost for our future generations makes no sense. We will FAFO....
Independent of what PAHO ends up deciding, we don’t deserve elimination status given the state of things. Still, progress is rarely monotonic. Measles can be eliminated if we decide it’s worth eliminating.
PAHO meets this week to decide if we’ve lost measles elimination status. I warned in this interview that we’re marching toward that threshold—and getting this close signals widening vaccination gaps and eroding public health capacity.

The idea that Portland... with roughly 30 protesters a day in a one block area... needs 40o Natl Guard troops is ridiculous.
These Natl Guard have been sitting at two Camp locations for 3 weeks because Trump wants to bully Democratic voting States...let them go to Jamaica or home to their families.

When you call yourself the leaders of a democratic country, but have to hide on a military base from the people that you rule.
"Stephen Miller soon joined a growing list of senior Trump-administration political appointees—at least six by our count—living in Washington-area military housing, where they are shielded not just from potential violence but also from protest." Others include Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth.

Excellent summary of how to possibly help people whi may be in immediate need of assistence, while preserving their future benefits...
I firmly believe, with every single atom of my being, that instead of amplifying unreliable information that discourages helping, our focus as 42 million Americans face hunger must be on providing factual information that enables people to help.

About 28 percent of the people the administration has deported have a prior criminal conviction.
