4 Lakota men were kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis. 3 of them were taken to what used to be a concentration camp for Native people, and the only people talking about it are other Indigenous people. I am angry but mostly numb, I am so used to this at this point. We are always forgotten.

Murder. And not just the one who pulled the trigger.
Holy shit.
Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

A new NYT video analysis by confirms that Renee Good's vehicle did not run over Jonathan Ross and did not strike him. It's possible that it brushed up against him, but that remains unclear. Ross should be under arrest. This is a gift link. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/v...

Sadly it was clear as day that this was always the intention, folks.
ICE is no longer an immigration agency.
It is a paramilitary force, backed by a parallel prison system, answerable to the president alone.
What’s happening in the U.S. isn’t a deviation—it’s an infrastructure. And it won’t end with Trump.

While I agree this is an excellent choice, the timing of a prize for “showing how technology can lead to sustained growth” with AI and the state of democracy at the precipice… I just hope “spoke too soon” won’t be next years’ meme
🎖️ The Prize in Economic Sciences is awarded to Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt!
Over the last two centuries the world has seen sustained economic growth. This year’s laureates explain how innovation provides the impetus for further progress.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.
