This Thanksgiving, ICE fascists are arresting people in San Diego At Their Green Card Interviews!

These immigrants followed the law & did everything right—ICE is arresting them anyway.

It was never about law & order. It was always about fascism & white supremacy. Abolish ICE. Protect our Republic.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Overall flu circulation is still low in the US but is steadily rising. Was on inpatient ID consult service last week.
Anecdotally I saw more COVID positives than flu positives. Lots of rhinovirus & parainflueza. Interestingly no rsv.
Get vaccinated now is the time.

Flu season is just beginning, but doctors are already on high alert
While flu levels are still low, a strain that has wreaked havoc in the U.K. and Canada is behind most cases so far in the U.S., mostly affecting kids.

Weird. It's like ICE is made up of unqualified losers who were only hired because they're violent, antisocial deviant assholes.
ICE agent, 41 yr old Alexander Steven Back, could face federal charges for soliciting a 17 yr old girl. The man, an ICE auditor, was one of 16 men arrested who were allegedly attempting to solicit a 17-year-old girl in Bloomington, Minnesota.

I’ve been writing a diary since Feb 24, 2022.
It will be published only after the war or after I’m gone. It doesn’t matter.

I have a keeper of my diaries - a war historian. She knows what to do in case of.

My supporters can read the extracts.

🔴 Tonight, Russia decided to further destroy the city of Kharkiv, which is unfortunately located only 30km from the agressor country & some 25km from the nearest frontline.

There are already 20 people injured.

Multiple residential buildings have been damaged by drones, as well as a supermarket.

Survived the worst attack on my city thus far. We’re on the safer side. Were. With walls shaking from explosions of ballistic missiles. A cat hiding under my bed. A building burning across the street. And no power. But it’s ok.
Today I wasn’t one to die.

My grandma wanted to walk around her neighborhood to relax a bit after another sleepless night and reduce stress. She saw the same building as her, quite typical one for Ukraine, which was almost entirely destroyed.

I never thought that wanting just to have a peaceful life with a moderate job enough to support your family was too much to ask. Not being a millionaire with a yacht, not being president of the universe. Just a fucking calm peaceful life. And still too much to ask...

I studied political economy. Immigrants are not taking jobs from Americans.

They do the jobs that lazy-ass white people think they're too good to do, and which feed us, clothe us, teach us, care for our aging parents, etc ad nauseum.

Without immigrants, the economy collapses, fuckface.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

🦬 I’m glad the House and Senate passed the Epstein Files Transparanecy Act, but a general reminder that this administration is anything *but* transparent.

Remember when a court ordered DOI to submit its RIF plans, and they submitted 64 pages of redactions instead?

I remember.

Antibiotic resistance is a serious and growing public health challenge in Europe.

Misuse and overuse make bacteria resistant, making infections harder to treat.
