Dr. Coni: One patient had been receiving treatment with eye drops, but then I didn’t see her for months.. I wondered what had happened to her.

When she finally returned, she told me she had lost her Medicaid coverage and couldn’t afford her drops. As a result, she had gone blind in one eye.

ICEblock, which allows users to alert others to the geographical location of ICE officers, is the top social networking app in the App Store right now after Karoline Leavitt condemned it from the podium yesterday.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

ICE raids are leaving fields full of rotting food in California.
Even the documented workers are not showing up.

And guess what? You’ll still want your strawberries then you’ll pay more for imported ones.

This isn’t border security.
It’s cruel economic sabotage, dressed up as patriotism.
Immigration raids leave crops unharvested, California farms at risk

In the recording studio today, I was told the security guard didn't bat an eyelid last week when Led Zeppelin came in.

Today, however, it was 'GOSH, LUCY WORSLEY FROM LADYKILLERS WITH LUCY WORSLEY IS IN THE BUILDING!!' 😉

Just awful: A 75-year-old man just died in ICE custody, ICE has revealed in a notice to Congress.

But here's the rub: This man, a Cuban national, was first paroled into the US in 1966—nearly 60 years ago! They were set to deport him anyway.

Details in my new piece:

Why Did a 75-Year-Old Man in Poor Health Just Die in ICE Custody?
Isidro Perez came to the United States from Cuba nearly 60 years ago. This is who Stephen Miller is going after now?

IDF soldiers have been pictured in Gaza wearing dead women’s clothes, riding dead children’s bikes, posing in destroyed buildings with “Death to Arabs” graffitied on the walls, and signing missiles destined for Gaza

But we must not say “Death to the IDF” because it upsets them

Good morning and happy Monday to everyone. “These immigrants will infest our country.” Said the grandson of a German immigrant, the son of a Scottish immigrant, currently married to a Slovenian immigrant and divorced from a Czech immigrant. You can’t make this shit up.

Israeli Soldiers Killed at Least 410 People at Food Aid Sites in Gaza This Month theintercept.com/2025/06/27/i.... How many senators and congressmen will talk now about "helping democratic Israel?" Because helping Israel in its "right to self-defense" is nothing but heinous genocide.
Israeli Soldiers Killed at Least 410 People at Food Aid Sites in Gaza This Month
The U.S.-backed system for food aid in Gaza is a “tactical intervention in humanitarian wrapping,” per an Israeli professor.

"When Will the West Stop Exploiting Women’s Rights for Imperial Aims?"

Powerful piece from Fatima Bhutto, who says nothing about the US and Israel attacks on Iran were about 'liberating' Iranian women:
