“On Jan. 18, the 18-month-old, who was suffering from life-threateningly low oxygen levels, was rushed to a San Antonio children’s hospital, where she was diagnosed with and treated for pneumonia, COVID-19, viral bronchitis, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and severe respiratory distress.”
“Upon arrival at the center — which is the same where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was held with his father, Adrian Conejo Arias — Amalia's health worsened quickly, the lawsuit said, and on Jan. 1, she developed a fever that peaked at 104 degrees and would not break.”

You can really judge any political system by how it treats disabled folks
In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died 3 months later.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t even get to say goodbye:

ICE Took Wael Tarabishi's Full Time Caregiver Away... and it Killed Him
Wael Tarabishi was a 30 year old disabled man who's father Maher was his full time caregiver. ICE took Maher in October, leaving Wael without support. He died three months later.

What i really see? Is a society in an abusive relationship with its leaders.
They don’t prioritize our needs
They don’t protect us from illness
They don’t protect us from violence
They aren’t honest with us
They refuse accountability
They buy and sell votes
And they benefit from all of it.

Feeling unsafe to share the reality of our lives can bring us emotionally right back to having to keep our abusers' secrets in the past.
There's a huge differed between choosing to not describe what's going on w/ us, vs. believing we can't for fear of punishment or abandonment.

A base that has long made pragmatic, sober decisions appears increasingly attracted to charismatic outsiders who promise to break from the party’s failures of the last decade. They see their party’s leaders as feckless and inept.

I've had drivers in PB swerve around my car while I was stopped for a pedestrian. This isn't an isolated incident.
Another death in an intersection designed to trade lives for speed.
The intersection at Garnet and Gresham only allows crossing Garnet on the far side of the 1400 block, and that crosswalk is only protected by pedestrian flashing lights. I doubt this driver would've stopped for those either.

Terfs are the liberals of gender.
In this essay, I will explain how terfs are themselves victims of patriarchal violence, but they do not wish to free themselves from this hierarchy of violence, but rather to build another layer of hierarchy below themselves that they may commit violence upon.

Liberalism seems like an extraordinary ability to think "these are the principles that should apply to my life", and then without the slightest bit of friction switch to thinking, "but those principles should not apply to the people who grow, pick, cook, and deliver my food".

Do you ever stop to wonder specifically why police repeatedly (and predictably) refuse to protect people outside of vehicles?
Do you ever wonder specifically why regulators allow these unnecessarily large vehicles that cause worse injuries, more pollution, more road wear?
There are reasons.

The goal is clearly to starve people to the point where they are too weak to resist an invasion, or so desperate they are willing to accept US control.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
