Nenko Gantchev should still be alive—home with his family. After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

Popular Science FTW.
The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.

The good news is that we don't need to read the report. Voters hate the party and we hate the leadership. The country is literally coming apart at the seams and we blame you. Entirely. Hide all you want, we know who's at fault. And we know who the consultants are. You're fucked. I promise.
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

They didn't ask for it, they didn't want it, but maybe they can figure out how to get rid of it.
