The bullet is still in his back, because ICE took him from Dell Seaton medical so they could put him in one of their concentration camps 130 miles away. He slept on the floor last night with the bullet in his back and no medical attention. This is how the US government treats humans?

Man shot by ICE in Austin says he has a bullet lodged in his back and was denied medical care
The shooting happened Sunday afternoon near Anderson Square and U.S. 183. The man's lawyer says he has been released from the hospital into ICE custody.

Routine reminder that Bhattacharya is an economics researcher who has never practiced medicine and whose best known publication is overtly fraudulent. He has never done infectious disease research and has never treated a single virus or infection in his entire career. He’s likely never seen measles.

USPS’s job is to deliver the mail even if some mailed ballots genuinely are fake, illegal, fraudulent, or otherwise invalid. It’s on election administrators to catch and reject those, and they do. USPS has no role in it and the very idea mucks up the systems we actually have for election integrity.

And in Texas, Abbott is fine letting data centers build if they “bring their own power” which likely means gas powered. Abbott may be fine ignoring this but all of us live with the results. And this is not even mentioning the impact on our limited water supply.

The profound part of Juneteenth for me is that before this was made a holiday, there was no official celebration of the end of slavery in the United States. When the 13th Amendment passed in December 1865, the legislators who witnessed its enshrinement imagined that the day would be remembered.
