The Buffalo Medical Examiner rules that the death of a legally blind elderly Burmese refugee dropped off by Border Patrol at a closed shop late at night in winter was a homicide. He died of a burst ulcer caused by severe stress brought on by dehydration and hypothermia.

Detained by ICE, he missed multiple cancer treatments. Now he’s in hospice.
Some immigrants with chronic health problems were swept up by ICE in Minnesota, leading to missed medications and, for one man, missed chemotherapy sessions.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.

“There’s so much traumatic injury, like blast wounds and broken bones. But they’re not healing, because people don’t have the nutrients to build the collagen necessary to close them. So wounds that are a month, even two months old, still look as fresh as if they had occurred in the last week.”

It looks like a scene out of a zombie movie. But it’s not; it’s the aftermath of DOGE’s wholescale assault on the GSA, and the federal government writ large. DOGE isn’t gone, but as it morphs into its new phase, the children’s toys have been left behind.

My first @wired.com piece: I asked over a dozen of the US's largest health insurers whether they would continue to cover currently routine shots for children if the RFK Jr. appointees on the federal vaccine panel were to stop recommending them. Only one said yes: www.wired.com/story/insure...
