Worth putting it on the record here, though you probably already know it: “Alligator Alcatraz” is a concentration camp.
Hmm, let’s see… mass detention of civilians without trial or traditional legal protections on the basis of identity (race, religion, ethnicity, political affiliation) rather than any criminal act, often for an indefinite period and done principally to expand political power. Check.

OK, now there's a proper write-up: CDC Pulled Its Own Thimerosal Report, So We're Publishing It. The CDC posted credible reviews on thimerosal and the MMRV vaccine. The thimerosal report has since been taken down.

The U.S. advance goods trade balance in March was -161.99B vs. -147.85B in February.
This means Donald Trump has actually made the trade deficit worse.
In simple terms, the gap between what the US buys from other countries and what it sells to them grew bigger.
