Anne Frank died of typhus.
In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.
It appears there is now a measles outbreak at the Dilley family detention facility. www.sacurrent.com/news/san-ant...

The regime is arresting journalists.
Journalism is necessary to any functioning democracy.
Four journalists have been arrested for documenting atrocities:
Don Lemon
Trahern Jeen Crews
Georgia Fort
Lydell Lundy
We can’t accept this.
They want to silence us. All of us.

What’s weird to me about the drop in previous metals based on Warsh as Fed chair pick is this: The underlying conditions of the AI bubble propping up the US economy and extreme political uncertainty have not changed. When (not if) the crash comes, metals will go up again. [1/2]

The most essential foundation for rebuilding will be official, codified, binding recognition that constitutionally legitimate government ceased on Jan 20, 2025 and everything since then has been null and void. No sustainable system worth having can be built on anything less.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

The Americans Who Saw All This Coming—but Were Ignored and Maligned
Call them the Cassandras: the people—mostly not white and male—who smelled the fascism all over Trump from jump street. Why were they “alarmists,” and how did “anti-alarmism” become cool?

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

Huge scandal that Minneapolis has been crawling with terrorists this whole time. They've been living among us undercover as poets and nurses. And would've continued to, had it not been for the work of our bravest child kidnappers

I keep thinking about all the unarmed Minnesotans (and Mainers, Angelenos, Chicagoans, etc.) who keep running toward the danger in the hopes that they can help somehow. And comparing that to piss baby cops who brag about putting their lives on the line, then shoot anyone who makes them nervous.
