A child born in 2026 could conceivably have as many as 10-20 COVID infections by the time they reach adulthood (assuming a conservative rate of one infection every 1-2 years, mostly through school exposure). They will have received repeated insults to their immune/nervous/circulatory systems.
You are probably getting brain damage from all those COVID infections.
A worrying look into the literature on COVID and brain health.

COLBERT, on the so-called “Board of Peace”:

“.. Paying a billion dollars to obey Donald Trump seems a little steep. After all, CBS got to do it for just 16 million."

This is the only person who wants to help the working class
AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

“That was a low point for me, spiritually,” the soldier said. It wasn’t that trash pickup was beneath him: In the Army, he’s gladly cleaned bathrooms & mopped floors. Instead, he took issue with feeling condescended to by his superiors, who “never addressed how ridiculous” this whole mission was.”

This is the obvious answer. NOTHING IS STOPPING YOU from doing it too. Go feed people. Go meet your neighbors. You and your friends all go buy guns & medical kits & tourniquets and learn how to use them, take de-escalation classes. It sounds like these people are too chicken to do anything risky.

The wristband closely matches those worn by members of the Omega Fire Ministries, a Christian evangelical church started by Nigerian televangelist Johnson Suleman, which read:

"If you monitor me you die" and "My blood is untouchable"
This photo by Mostafa Bassim shows an ICE agent scanning someone's face with a mobile app, quite possibly Mobile Fortify as first reported by @404media.co. This is the first image I've seen of the app's UI in action.

If you look closely, you can also see an interesting wristband on the agent.

I wonder if she'll give it to him tomorrow and he'll use a sharpie to write his name on it.
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.

“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

I still can't get over how they started to throw the ICE agent under the bus, but then Trump wanted to increase the violence and give them blanket immunity instead.
This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training.

This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One.

I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime.

Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.
