ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.
No one knows why he was detained.

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

The Trump administration’s arrest of Mahmoud Khalil over his protests at Columbia University against Israel’s war in Gaza has alarmed First Amendment attorneys who see it as an obvious violation of Khalil’s rights but also an effort to intimidate others.
Mahmoud Khalil’s arrest violates First Amendment protections, lawyers say
Trying to deport Khalil for demonstrating against Israel is an obvious violation of his rights and an attempt to intimidate others, they say.

If any of these people represent you in the Senate, find their office number and CALL THEM. And absolutely everyone should call Schumer and tell him just say no to cloture before he caves: 202-224-6542
Don't take this as gospel. It's not official. It's a very knowledgable source's best understanding of the situation. This persons likely Yeses on cloture are. Schumer, Hassan, Peters, Durbin, Schatz, King, Shaheen, Fetterman, Cortez Masto and Gillibrand.

It's clear that Trump's policies seek to shut down what remains of democracy in the US. It seems highly likely that they will also cause economic collapse.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:
“It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates
The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

Measles spreads incredibly fast due to its R0 (basic reproductive number.)
1 person can infect up to 18 people.
Before the vaccine became available, hundreds of thousands of people had it. It also causes immune amnesia, which ERASES both natural & acquired immunity in the body.
