I wonder if there’s a way to check who was short on Moderna when FDA rejected the vaccine and then went long on it in advance of the reconsideration. Seems like it would be a good idea except that the government checking it would find a bunch of its own people.

This is a lovely idea AND I’m so serious about reparations for the Twin Cities paid directly out of the DHS budget and the personal assets and salaries of DHS officials and staff
Twin Citizens: If you frequent a small, independently owned restaurant that would benefit from a grant for lost business during the siege, let them know about the Salt Cure Fund. It’s a small ($2500-10000) grant, and the deadline to apply is 2/23.

On her Instagram, Univision’s Lidia Terrazas reports that baby Juan Nicolás has been deported and “abandoned at the border” with his mother
“His life is in danger,” Rep. Joaquin Castro said Tuesday about Juan Nicolás, the 2-month-old baby who was hospitalized with bronchitis overnight — and is being held at Dilley Family Detention Center, which reported a measles outbreak earlier this month.

once again pointing out that Trump vs. US is a treasonous decision--the Supreme Court equivalent of January 6--and the justices who voted for it have forfeited any claim to legitimacy (or indeed due process) whatsoever
One thing that's important to realize now is that, even in a scenario where Dems sweep to a crushing trifecta in 2028, Republicans will use their control of the courts to attempt to continue, as much as they can, to run executive agencies in exile, with DHS/ICE under Biden as the model
