Edit: from what I could see his posts about it didn’t mention anything about exploring VA fertility coverage, just out of pocket w/ insurance costs at a “New England clinic” v Norway’s clinic. No other details.

Honestly kudos to anyone who goes abroad for medical care. Also, everything about that candidate choosing to do an incredibly stressful medical intervention—which needs reduced stress—during his election is an odd one. Even aside from the rest.

He’s flying to Norway for 10 days so he and his wife can do IVF, b/c a local clinic was too expensive.
None of my friends doing IVF could afford to fly to Norway for medical tourism—esp w/the repeated visits it requires.
I don’t think he’s your person for engaged political action.

It’s unmistakable how much the way institutions treat lying federal officials is the same way they treat lying abusers and predators. Even when they contradict themselves, admit to wrongdoing, and repeatedly undermine their own credibility, institutions support their side over their victims.

The fact that thousands of Minnesotans continue to show up day after day and night after night to protect their communities knowing ICE agents are a hair's breadth away from murdering them is a fucking testament to their bravery, empathy, and resolve. America has not earned it, but there they are.

I once saw a car in Ellsworth Maine slowly spin through a red light on black ice, honking calmly to warn people, before getting traction on the other side, correcting, and going (again, calmly) on about his business.

BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally.
Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

Every now and then I am reminded that we have been watching a cover-up in plain view for months that involves multiple people in government using their positions to hide specifics of Trump's relationships with Epstein and Maxwell.
NEW: The Bureau of Prisons won't explain why Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred to a cushy facility after she met with Deputy AG Todd Blanche. So we filed a FOIA request for documents on this—and now we're suing (thanks to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press—@rcfp.org).

This CNN piece doesn’t note that in 2014 USCBP tried to block a report finding Border Patrol agents at the U.S.-Mexico border deliberately stepped in front of cars to justify shooting drivers. Nor does it note ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who shot Renee Good, was in El Paso Border Patrol from 2005-2015.

Gestapo was used specifically to target dissent, with racial purity secondary.
Slave catchers were used to enforce racial hierarchy, with targeting dissent secondary m.
Far more accurate to compare it to slave catchers.

I see people talk about ICE by calling them the Gestapo, and while its not hard to see the comparison; they really aught to be compared to something homegrown. Because in truth, the closest thing we can compare ICE to is to federal slave catchers. The operation is the same.
