Girl at Starbucks just told me I look stunning today. For once in my life I just accepted the compliment, and didn’t share that I spent so much time online this morning complaining about my boy problems that I didn’t get to wash my hair or put on eyeliner. This is growth.

For years, research into the origins of cancer largely centered on two main factors: genetics and specific lifestyle choices. Today, scientists are scrutinizing the much broader set of environmental exposures people encounter over their lifetime.

Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.
Tweet from Joshua J. Friedman: 

Plaintiffs: No. Possible some children might be in that situation, but everything we could find on short notice is children not in this situation. 

Judge: Mr. Ensign you saying that *all* these children have parents who are requesting their return to Guatemala? 

DOJ: That's what I've been toldTweet from Joshua J. Friedman:

Judge: During recess, I read provision you cited and then the complaint. Every one of 10 named plaintiffs says they are *afraid* of being sent back to Guatemala. (Reads aloud from declarations.) Doesn't line up with what govt is saying. This is why we have courts.

Immigration raids have slowed since a federal judge temporarily barred agents from targeting people solely based on race, language, vocation or location. But some higher-profile sweeps have returned at Home Depot locations, where migrant laborers often look for work.
