The stories of pregnant women in ICE detention — one shackled while miscarrying, another placed in solitary confinement with a high-risk pregnancy — are not one offs.

They're a clear pattern of neglect where ICE ignores its own rules. This cruelty must end.
Pregnant immigrants held for months in detention despite rules against it
With the immigration crackdown, more pregnant women are being detained. The ACLU alleges a woman was shackled while miscarrying and others were denied prenatal care.

ICE detained an asylum seeker with no deportation order who had just had a C-section, has Type 1 diabetes, and whose newborn was in the NICU, without giving her any medical care, a breast pump, anything. What is the point of this
“Guzmán’s daughter was still in the NICU, unable to eat or breathe independently. The doctors had planned a meeting to review the baby’s prognosis and care plans… As Guzmán went to buckle her seatbelt, she looked out the window and noticed they were surrounded.”
Her baby was in the NICU. She was in ICE detention.
Before Trump took office, postpartum immigrants were rarely detained by ICE. Nayra Guzmán was detained while her 15-day-old baby was in the NICU.

There's a link to an archive of the WaPo article in the replies. It's def worth reading the whole thing. She is being smeared by them to justify detaining & deporting her & it sure implies very strongly that the Leavitts turned her in.

Great financial crisis? You mean when the housing market collapsed, banks went under, our GDP sank, the working class lost trillions in net worth and unemployment soared?

Seems like a repeat of the last time we tried to bully the world with isolationist tariffs.

Not good.

Today we remember the thousands of Americans who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago. Nearly half of those lost were aboard the USS Arizona, and I remember what a moving experience it was when Gabby and I visited the memorial. We’ll never forget their sacrifice.

"This whole notion that we are trapped into wars by the commitments we make to our allies—I think the opposite of that is true. We have not had to fight for any treaty ally. It is the reliability of the commitment that is the source of stability."

When I was a department chair, I leared that only 22 percent of the Navy's admirals had gone to NWC.
The other services - who all regarded us as the best - made their students *compete* to get in to NWC. The Navy fought us constantly, on the belief that education is a waste of time.
I’m surprised someone can get to flag rank without attending the NWC.

One cannot go to Hannah Arendt’s work for comfort, Jennifer Szalai writes of the German-born political thinker. What she offers instead is “the company of someone who had direct experience of the horrors of the 20th century yet never relinquished what she called amor mundi, or ‘love of the world.’”

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.

Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

They’re desperately trying to separate the pipe bomber from MAGA, Trump, and 1/6. It’s why there’s a 22-day gap in the arrest affidavit. I’ll be covering this on the @meidastouch.com channel tomorrow at noon PT.
Please call the guy the January 6th pipe bomber.

Fox is calling him the "January 5th bomber" because he planted the bombs the night before but really because they don't want to mention 1/6 as a bad day.
