In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

before I go to bed, I feel obliged to emphasize how tonight’s rampage in northern Minneapolis was, by no exaggeration, a glorified episode of klan night riding by federally deputized groypers. Yes, DHS always had these people but the difference now is that they’re in charge and with a $175B budget.

A 6 year old came home from school today, excited to tell her mom about her day, the fun she had & the art she made, and found out she'll never be able to because she was murdered by Trump's secret police and people are really discussing the best way to reintegrate these stormtroopers into society.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

it is outright murder. talking about it on here means bracing for the inevitable "they do this all the time," which is true!, but probably not a useful comment, as the point is not to engender dialogue & analysis, but to join together in outrage at state violence
there is now a second angle (video going around). it is worse. this is murder. period.
losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people

really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.
I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

This is ICE:
Cold blooded murderers. They shoot an American leaving.

This is fascism.
This is authoritarian violence.

If this happened in a country the US wanted to invade or regime change, this would be used as justification to do so

Just another reason to fight the fascist regime in DC.
NEW: Second video shows ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A woman, a U.S. citizen, was killed

If you let him get away with this, he’ll do it with Iran and whatever other neocon bugaboos have been lingering around conservative media since Obama first started running. Maybe Greenland but less intense because white. One of them will invariably respond in the mainland U.S. Stop him before then.

this is irritatingly correct for how apocalyptically mad i am.

given the fuckton of newsprint & cash spent to make it fine to say “fuck trans people,” it’s a miracle shit isn’t *farther* gone.

i do not, however, think the line gets held by trans people alone.

cis folks need to get very damn loud.
Not being contrarian for contrarianism's sake, but the fact that only three conservative Democrats from districts that voted for Trump voted for a trans care ban for minors should encourage trans people that they can make Democrats hold the line.

Mamdani releases video overviewing Know Your Rights if you see ICE + promises to protect New Yorkers and the right to protest, specifically in response to anti-ICE action last Saturday that stopped a massive raid.

Comes following question from me asking for his comment on that action.
Know your rights. Protect your neighbors.

New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

Of babies infected w/Hepatitis B, 90% develop chronic infection.

Of those, 1 in 4 will DIE.

They lose the ability to get rid of toxins & make important proteins. Their skin yellows, their abdomen swells, they’re uncomfortable. A fate no one deserves.

One we can avoid w/ vaccination.

I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too:

"There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done."

All to appease the right, who hate them anyway - shame on them.

The attack on life-saving trans healthcare, including in "safe" states, continues.

Laws aren't stopping them. Public outrage and action are the only things that work.
