There's a self care mobile app out there called Finch. They don't currently have a web interface because of obstacles they've had with keeping the data on the phone vs a server.

However, one can have a secure pairing from desktop client to the phone and temporarily access via the desktop screen.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Maxwell is a convinced child sex trafficker and should be in low security prison at the least, not transferred to minimum security prison per BOP policy.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is helping cover up something. Move her back, take away all the special privileges and see what she says.
Ghislaine Maxwell's prison emails show she is 'happier' at minimum-security Texas facility
Maxwell, a convicted sex offender connected to Jeffrey Epstein, was moved to a less restrictive federal prison this summer. Congress is investigating allegations of special treatment.

If for some reason you have still never heard of the Tulsa Race Massacre, educate yourself. They did not teach this to me in schools in the '90s.

"In Tulsa itself, memory was suppressed. Police records vanished, newspaper archives were tampered with, and victims were buried in unmarked graves."

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

An ICE agent was caught removing a sign marking an ICE kidnapping in DC last week! Do we think he did it out of anger, embarrassment, or most appropriately shame? If you think what you’re doing is right, why are you trying to hide the evidence? 👀

Just a reminder that the GOP are cowards (or worse, okay with) while Trump publicly threatens death to US veterans that have not committed a crime.

Remember, Nazis followed illegal orders.

Trump is a stochastic terrorism machine.

"Slotkin told NBC News that she has received "100s & 100s, if not, you know, closer to 1,000 threats" since the video first picked up traction & then Trump suggested on Thursday that her message was "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!"

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

ICE enforcement is a mass disabling event

If you have a medical emergency in ICE custody, there’s a chance you will simply “disappear”

Or you could end up like Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel who was deported to Costa Rica in a persistent vegetative state.

He died soon after.

Judge and intern, saved by Superior Court Head of Security Operations.

At what point will local police arrest ICE for illegally taking photos in a courthouse and threatening to smash car windows without a warrant for individuals inside (coercion through threat of violence)? Arrest on intimidation.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social this is not the time to "remove posts"; it's long past time to remove Trump. The sheer number of laws he has broken was enough and now his calls to violence are beyond the pale.

Impeach and remove Trump. You are endangering people every day you do not call for this.

Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

If "Big Vaccine" existed, they'd go after RFK Jr like Tylenol did for his false links to autism.

Seriously, folks, RFK is not a trustworthy health source and now, by extension, neither is the CDC.

Autistic kids exist because autistic adults have sex. The government did want me to have babies.
The CDC has updated its vaccine safety page to promote long-discredited claims about vaccines—namely that they cause autism.

The page links to a number of studies, including one by anti-vax allies of Robert Kennedy Jr.

this provision does a lot more than that: it gives de facto civil and criminal immunity to senators and their staff by requiring notification of the entire Senate if a member or their staff is under investigation
The House has voted unanimously to repeal the provisions in the shutdown package which allow GOP Senators to sue the federal government and get as much as $1 million in damages - because the feds looked at their phone records in the Jan. 6 investigation.
