Not that it would be okay to do this to an undocumented immigrant either but THIS GUY IS A LEGAL IMMIGRANT and also his lawyer hand delivered his medication and they REFUSED TO GIVE IT TO HIM.

Enraging! How do ANY of these people live with themselves?
A man taken into custody in Rochester Thursday by federal immigration agents and now held at the Whipple Federal Building in the Twin Cities is a recent organ transplant recipient who is without his needed anti-rejection medication, state Rep. Kim Hicks tells MPR News.

NEW: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said that the keto diet could cure schizophrenia — an unfounded claim that experts say vastly overstates preliminary research into whether a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet might help patients w/ the disorder.

This is exactly how wars should be fought. From the top down. I have zero objection to Ukraine assassinating top Russian officials and strongly support the idea of assassination over war as a method of solving interpersonal disputes between world leaders.
A top Russian military intelligence official was hospitalised in Moscow on Friday after being shot, as the foreign ministry blamed Ukraine for the latest attack in a series of assassination attempts. Lt Gen Vladimir Alekseyev, 64, was shot several times in a residential building in NW Moscow.

I honestly no longer in good conscience feel like I can advise people from Gaza on how to even keep their account here because no matter what they do they lose it. I’ve just suggested going to other platforms.

The US suffers from a legacy technology problem. Its wealthy have calcified society for their own benefit and as the rest of the world makes progress to get around that problem, the US gets left behind. Phone tech, solar panels, EVs, etc.

in the elite circles of the US, racism is treated less as a matter of social stratification with direct implications for political stakes and more as a matter of moral etiquette. it is even more notable, then, that this administration can't constrain themselves to the meager associated standards

Legally here on a work permit. Arrested when he went to renew it. Not fighting his deportation. Yet he's been in detention 29 days. No access to a lawyer. Has been given no information about his case. Family inquiries also ignored. ICE only responded when local news requested comment.
