I wrote this story because the case of the Guatemalan children hasn’t received nearly as much media attention as it deserves. I wanted to highlight the full extent of the government’s depraved conduct. I hope you’ll read and share. Don’t look away. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

But on the morning of Aug. 31, as the bus made its way to the airport, A.R.M.D. worried that he would be returned to Guatemala without the opportunity to make his case in court.
Sharing his anxiety were other Guatemalan children who, like A.R.M.D., had been roused from bed in the middle of the night at their respective foster homes or care facilities. At a children's shelter in McAllen, Texas, one young.girl "was so scared that she vomited and asked to speak with a clinician." Another teenager, who said that her sister was murdered in Guatemala last year, worried that she, too, would be killed if she returned. Other potential deportees cited personal histories involving family violence, sexual abuse, or human trafficking as reasons why they were afraid to return to their home country.
In theory, the law is supposed to protect unaccompanied children from being summarily whisked out of the country by the government.

A point I depressingly found myself making earlier today is that we may need to account for an increase in deaths earlier in life due to infectious disease when analyzing changes in cancer incidence and death rates over the next few decades.

Pretty consistently the second an anonymous style ALT account starts to have merch, you really should skedaddle. They enter the business of generating more followers as that equals more money, and you have NO IDEA where that money is going, or what it might be supporting because you CANNOT verify.

"Sergio Gor" (Sergey Gorokhovsky) rapidly ascended in Republican politics over the years for good reason: He delivered massive amounts of cash through "donation fundraising." Jesse Benton, his co-worker from Sen. Paul's office, went to prison for laundering $100,000 from Russia.

Yep. That's the way to do it. And if you like, say, Lander, more than Mamdani, then as long as you rank L higher than M, if the final two is a surprise LM runoff, you still get your vote tallied the way you want it to be.

In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers. In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them. So you can see how *clear* it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

These people really want kids sick. Hepatitis B is not just a “sexually transmitted and IV drug user disease” like Means claims here. If she had ever completed medical training she might know that up to 40% of HepB infections are actually acquired in childhood & kill thousands of Americans per year.

Pope Leo's first sermon and, uh, his using the phrase "be ever more fully a city set upon a hill" and cf'ing it to Rev 21:10 instead of any of the others before saying "many baptized Christians" are "living in a state of practical atheism" is. Well. Shots fired! www.npr.org/2025/05/09/g...

Members of Congress were also there, but were not arrested. One reason why? It's literally illegal for DHS to bar any member of Congress from entering an immigration detention facility for the purposes of conducting oversight.

SEC. 527. (a) None of the funds appropriated
or otherwise made available to the Depart-ment of Homeland Security by this Act may be used to prevent any of the following per-sons from entering, for the purpose of con-ducting oversight, any facility operated by or for the Department of Homeland Security used to detain or otherwise house aliens, or to make any temporary modification at any such facility that in any way alters what is observed by a visiting Member of Congress or such designated employee, compared to what would be observed in the absence of such modification:
(1) A Member of Congress.
(2) An employee of the United States House of Representatives or the United States Sen-ate designated by such a Member for the pur-poses of this section.
(b) Nothing in this section may be con-strued to require a Member of Congress to provide prior notice of the intent to enter a facility described in subsection (a) for the purpose of conducting oversight.

Just a reminder that Andor S2 was written in 2022. If this show sounds sooooooo much like current events, it's just that the writers have drawn on centuries of histories of authoritarianism and injustices. The series is a mirror showing just how much ugliness we've allowed to become normal.
