RFK Jr is funding a grotesquely unethical study on newborn babies in Guinea-Bissau; ethicists, pediatricians, clinical trial experts, & infectious disease experts are calling this horrific trial The New Tuskegee. It is unethical to withhold a life saving intervention from half of newborns FFS.

Wanted to share this Washington Post visualization of ICE holding-cell overcrowding because it’s so powerful. If you don’t think this administration needs to be frog-marched to prison after reading this … wapo.st/3R6bdmr (gift link)

ICE officials warned of dangerous crowding. See how they kept packing people in.
Dozens were held for days in small rooms last year with no beds, showers or full-time medical staff, records analyzed by The Post show.

ICE desperately wants you not to care about this story But we must. The killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national striving for his American Dream, is a moral outrage, and a warning. ICE hopes you won't notice that mass deportation is back My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Back at my parents’ house down south and was just outside talking to the lawn guy, who was wearing his red MAGA hat and my shirt started whispering uncomfortably loudly to me, “FUCK ICE ….FUUUCK ICE.” I’m really not sure if his hat could hear my shirt, but it was awkward.

The reason the “paid protestor” accusation is so popular is that these are people who cannot imagine doing something because it’s right, to stand up for a principle, talking to other people like that.
