Update: there are more contaminated Taylor Farm products than the ones in the official recall. No word yet on who bought them or where they were shipped
And then the part that should stop everyone cold. On Saturday FDA reported that a sample of shredded iceberg lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico had tested positive
for Cyclospora - collected at the border during targeted import surveillance, as a result of this very investigation. Taylor Farms confirmed the positive product is not part of its current recall. The lot is detained, and the company is still working out whether any of it reached commerce or people's kitchens. Read that twice. The parasite turned up on product still being shipped into this country, outside a recall the company itself drew, after that same company told the public this traced to one independent farm and represented under one percent of the U.S. iceberg supply. Either the recall is scoped too narrowly or the contamination is broader than one farm. Credit where it's due for finding it - now tell us where the rest of that lot went.

Jimothy origin story!!! www.instagram.com/p/Da4gCOhDian/
Screenshot of IG video of baby Jimothy next to an adult raccoon. Jimothy looks like a raccoon’s head on a werewolf’s body and he is tiny and fluffy and perfect

“bwtrammell Not a post i thought I'd be making, but as so many are also so taken with him, I'll spread the lore from our perspective: Seattle's newest celebrity was born in our neighbor's cedars to a racoon family that had lived there for years. We saw Jimothy (way better than moniker than what we came up with almost daily for months. The family used our backyard as a protected on/off ramp for their nightly outings. He was so small and clumsy but his mother and siblings were always so patient and caring, keeping him from falling and sometimes just carrying him.”

Earlier Thursday, survivor Dani Bensky told members of the Senate Judiciary
Committee that her road to justice has been made more difficult by Blanche.
Bensky said her attorneys submitted 350 names to the Department of Justice in December ahead of its release of the
Epstein files to ensure proper redactions.
Despite that, her identity was revealed twice in the first document dump, and later her name, phone number, former addresses and jobs appeared in the second dump.
"It's been absolutely devastating," Bensky said.SCRIPPS NEWS
WATCH NOW •
Blanche said the DOJ fixed issues when they were alerted, but Bensky said she had to fight for months to get her name taken down. Bensky also pushed back on Blanche's claim that there are no remaining investigative leads.
"We deserve to be heard directly, not dismissed and ignored," Bensky said.
"There are numerous investigative leads that must be followed despite Mr.
Blanche's claim that there are none. The survivors in the room know there are investigative leads because they are our stories."
Bensky pointed out that Blanche met with longtime Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell for 9 hours, but survivors have never been approached by prosecutors despite providing information to the FBI.

Earlier today, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting.
We stand by this reporting, and plan to vigorously defend it against this baseless and ridiculous lawsuit. We look forward to continuing our coverage of MSG, and on billionaire James Dolan's use of technology across his entertainment empire. It's one part of our wider mission and the critical job of journalists, now more than ever: holding power to account.

Happy Loving Day to those who celebrate! On this day in 1967, Richard and Mildred Loving won Loving v Virginia and secured the right to interracial marriage for themselves and for all Americans. May we continue to fight equally fiercely for love and freedom.
Two brides kissing in front of strands of white papel picado. The taller bride has light skin, brown hair, a red flower crown, and a white reboso. The shorter bride has brown skin, black hair, a gown with sparkly trim, and a floral half sleeve tattoo. No one has ever been happier.

I’ve only skimmed part of it so far and its arguments are contradictory, like a group project made by students who disagree about what the book actually said But some of the insider baseball is compelling, like this description of how the White House pushed Kamala off a glass cliff:
Prior to the midterm election, the White House directed the DC to conduct polling to identify how Dr. Biden could support her husband as president. The research explored the settings, the issues, and the messages needed to create an effective framework.
No similar research was conducted to support the Vice President - to identify the issues she should talk about, the ways in which she should talk about them, the audiences with which she could perhaps resonate and support the President's agenda. There was also no independent research of the Cabinet.
The White House's approach towards elevating the Vice President with a controversial issue brief without leveraging research into understanding how taxpayers and voters would react to the messengers of the Democratic administration was a massive missed opportunity.
An incumbent Vice President. With no research to share once she became the nominee.
The White House did not position or prepare the Vice President. Had the White House explored and evaluated ways to leverage Kamala Harris earlier in the administration, perhaps it would have improved the President's standing, and it certainly could have helped prepare her to lead the ticket.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
AFRICAN COMMUNITIES TOGETHER and
THE DOOR,
Plaintiffs,
25-cv-6366 (PKC)
OPINION AND ORDER
-against-
TODD LYONS, in his official capacity as Acting Director, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement:
MARKWAYNE MULLIN, in his official capaciti
Homeland Security; DAREN K. MARGOLIN, in his official capacity as Director. Executive Office of Immigration Review; and TODD BLANCHE, in his official capacity as Acting Attorney General, U.S.
Department of Justice,
Defendants.
CASTEL, U.S.D.J.
On March 24, 2026, the Court received a letter from two Assistant United States
Attorneys for this District, who wrote "respectfully and regrettably to correct a material mistaken statement of fact that the Government made to the Court and Plaintiffs." (ECF 77.) The letter
withdrew portions of four briefs (ECF 39, 66, 70 and 74) and "statements" made at oral argument. These statements went to the heart of a motion to stay under section 705 of the
Administrative Procedure Act ("APA") which this Court heard and decided six months earlier.
See African Communities Together v. Lyons, 799 F. Supp. 3d 362, 377 (S.D.N.Y. 2025).CONCLUSION
Pursuant to section 705 of the APA, pending full review on the merits of all
policies challenged in this action, the Court ORDERS as follows:
1. The January 21, 2025 interim guidance and the May 27, 2025 final
guidance of the then-Acting Directors of ICE are STAYED insofar as they rescinded the interim guidance on Civil Immigration Enforcement Actions in or near Courthouses, issued on April 27,
2021, as it applied to civil enforcement actions in or near immigration courthouses;
2. The foregoing stay applies to immigration courthouses in the three
locations in Manhattan principally serving the members of The Door: 26 Federal Plaza, 201
Varick Street, and 290 Broadway.
The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the pending motion (ECF
85).
SO ORDERED.

who could have possibly predicted this guy turned out to be a nazi
Dariel Gonzalez, the College Republicans' recruitment chairman at the time, responded in the chat: "How edgy."
"Ew you had colored professors?!" Gonzalez wrote at another point. "I reguse [sic] to be indoctrinated by the coloreds." He told the group he used the term "colored" because, "I was told we cant say black anymore." A couple days later, he added:
"Avoid the coloreds like the plague." He did not respond to a request for comment.
The group chat members - which included some women - also frequently discussed sex, sometimes describing women as "whores" and at one point using the k-word, a slur for Jewish people, to describe women they avoid.
Gonzalez said, "You can f-k all the [k-word] you want. Just don't marry them and procreate." Ian Valdes, the Turning Point USA chapter president, responded, "I would def not marry a Jew."
A few minutes later, Valdes changed the group chat's name from one that included a slur for people with disabilities, "Uber [r-word] Yapping," to "Gooning in Agartha."
Gooning is a slang term for male masturbation. Agartha, a mythical white civilization promoted by the Nazi politician Heinrich Himmler, has been repopularized by the young online right.
Gonzalez described Agartha to the group chat as, "Nazi heaven sort of," and Valdes explained it, "esoteric nazism essentially."Profile pic of a pallid kid in a three piece suit who urgently needs a haircut and looks like the offspring of Harry Potter and a haunted Victorian doll. His half-smile doesn't reach his eyes, probably because he's having a bittersweet daydream about what it would be like to someday feel the warm touch of another human being

As officers point their Tasers at him, Shah Alam moves closer. They fire and he can be heard speaking Ruingga. (He and his family are Rohingya, a friend said Thursday.) Shah Alam then raises one rod as if to defend himself, the video shows.
At that point, the officers tackle and attempt to handcuff Shah Alam.
"Get on the fucking ground," one of the officers shouts repeatedly.
Once on the ground, one officer calls Shah Alam a "fucking asshole" and punches him in the head several times. The police report later stated Shah Alam bit both of the officers, causing minor injuries.Fearing that ICE would take custody and transfer him out of state, Shah Alam's family opted to keep him in the jail where they could visit him, Macaluso told Investigative Post.
A family friend, Khaleda Shah, confirmed Thursday that the family feared Shah Alam being detained by ICE had he been bailed out last year.
Months of hearings followed. Macaluso said the case was nearing trial. On February 9,
Keane's office agreed to offer Shah Alam a plea deal.
"My decision was the result of a comprehensive evaluation of his conduct, criminal history, acceptance of responsibility, medical condition, time served in pre-trial custody, and the proposed resolution," Keane said in a statement. "I also considered the significant collateral consequences that would result from a felony conviction - including mandatory deportation."
Shah Alam pleaded guilty to two charges: trespassing and misdemeanor possession of a weapon - his curtain rod. His immigration attorney, Siana McLean, said those offenses did not warrant detention or deportation by ICE. She said she communicated with the agency about those charges last week and that its lawyers agreed that Shah Alam would not be subject to federal detention upon his release.Michael Niezgoda, a Customs and Border Patrol spokesperson, said it was only after agents took custody of Shah Alam that they determined he "was not amenable to removal." Agents then, Niezgoda said, "offered him a courtesy ride, which he chose to accept, to a coffee shop ... rather than be released directly from the Border Patrol station." That Tim Hortons, on the 2200 block of Niagara Street, was "determined to be a warm, safe location near his last known address," Niezgoda said.
The coffee shop was closed at the time. Only the drive-thru window was open.Shah Alam’s body was found on Perry Street, near KeyBank Center, home to the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League, according to a police report. His death was determined by the Erie County Medical Examiner to be “health related in nature,” city spokesperson Ian Ott said. In a statement Thursday evening, Erie County Health Department spokesperson Kara Kane said the medical examiner had not yet determined a cause or manner of death.

I am settling in for a showing of 'Melania' and the theater is PACKED!
Earlier, a bystander asked if I was heading in to see Avatar, and I stopped dead in my tracks.
"Avatar? No, son," I curtly replied. "I don't watch woke movies. I'm here to see the groundbreaking documentary about our incredibly talented First Lady."
The man's two little girls began jumping up and down, pulling on his sleeve, and begging, "Daddy, we want to see Melania!"
"But. But..." he stammered, "I thought you girls wanted to see Zootopia 2?"
"No, no, NO," they said, now nearly shouting. "We want to see Melania!! She is the most beautiful First Lady EVER."
Their father was scrambling, stressed out, and disoriented.
"Girls, I'm afraid you aren't the only ones who are captivated by President Trump and his beautiful wife," I said, kneeling to get on their level. "Virtually everyone in this theater is here for the 7:30 PM showing, and it's been sold out for days."
Tears began to well up in their eyes.
"But..." I said in a hushed tone, "I happen to have a few extra tickets with me, and I'd like you and your dad to have them."
They jumped for joy and began hugging their father. He looked relieved as he wiped the sweat off his brow with a smile.
I handed him the tickets and pulled him close. "Raise these girls right," l whispered. "Teach them to be classy conservative women of faith like Melania, don't let them become like Meghan Markle. Capisce?"
He hugged me and thanked me profusely. "What are you going to do now?" He asked.
"Don't worry about me, son," I told him, with a twinkle in my eye. "I've already got tickets to the next showing."

Adolf Hitler's regime famously advertised its rule with the tagline, "One People, One Realm, One Leader." Three days after Renee Good's killing, Trump's Department of Labor tweeted, "One Homeland. One People. One Heritage. Remember who you are, American."
On January 9, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) posted, "We'll have our home again," a lyric from an anthem adopted by the neo-fascist group The Proud Boys and other white nationalist organizations. This was accompanied by a link where one could sign up to join ICE.
Last August, DHS shared an ICE recruitment poster beneath the phrase,
"Which way, American man?" - an apparent reference to the white supremacist tract, "Which Way, Western Man?", which argues that "Race consciousness, and discrimination on the basis of race, are absolutely essential to any race's survival. ... That is why the Jews are so fiercely for it for themselves...and fiercely against it for us, because we are their intended victim."
In October, the US Border Patrol posted a video on its Facebook page of agents loading guns and driving through the desert, as a 13-second clip of Michael Jackson's song "They Don't Care About Us" plays - specifically, the lines "Jew me, sue me, everybody do me, kick me, k"ke me."

ah, yes, the political trap of simple, emotional slogans that poll well (reposted w alt text)
Democrats warned to steer clear of the 'abolish ICE' slogan
Share
Natasha Korecki
• Reporting from Minneapolis
Democrats need to drop the "abolish ICE" political slogan if they have hope of winning back the majority in Congress, a center-left think tank is warning.
Third Way, in a memo to Democrats shared first with NBCNews, warned Democrats against talking in extreme terms in the wake of the highly charged days following the ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good.
"The impulse is emotional. The slogan is simple. But politically, it is lethal," a memo written by Sarah Pierce and Lanae Erickson, leaders in social policy for Third Way. "Every call to abolish ICE risks squandering one of the clearest opportunities in years to secure meaningful reform of immigration enforcement - while handing Republicans exactly the fight they want."

Jeri Rees said her 21-year-old nephew underwent six hours of surgery and that doctors found shards of plastic, glass and metal embedded in his eyes and around his face, including a metal piece lodged 7 mm from a carotid artery.The video cuts to three agents approaching the group before one agent tries to take a young person into custody, prompting at least three demonstrators to try to intervene. The person taken into custody was identified by friends as Skye Jones.
In the video, at least one agent appears to fire nonlethal rounds at the crowd, hitting one woman in the leg before aiming and striking the victim in the face.
The video shows the victim dropping to the ground after being shot, holding their face as the crowd retreats. The same agent then drags the victim by the hood of their jacket; they appear to be choking, grasping at the jacket binding their neck as blood pours from their left eye.
Another video shows the victim inside the building, lying on the ground bleeding while agents fire what appear to be pepper balls at the back of the head and neck of a man trying to record the incident with his cellphone.
Rees said her nephew told her that the agents pressed his face against the pool of blood and did not immediately call paramedics.
"The other officers were mocking him, saying, 'You're going to lose your eye," she said, recalling what her nephew told her.
