Yet another horrific ICE crime. Gotta wonder how many of the current agents refused to mask up at the height of COVID.

A US citizen filmed federal agents smashing his car window, as authorities begin a surge of immigration enforcement operations in North Carolina. The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

“I exercise to prevent CVD and dementia.” “I don’t smoke because, it causes lung cancer and heart disease & makes everything smell.” Ok… so instead you choose to freely breathe in the biohazard that causes vascular disease, brain damage, AIDS-like conditions, and loss of smell. Make it make sense

Just curious… Hands up if you just believe the science you publish and you think everything else is bullshit? I’m referring to the half-decade of research & half-million publications showing SARS-CoV-2 can lead to new and worsening health conditions of every variety. I’m talking to you academia.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system." This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Trump has been the worst president ever for farmers. Twice. But they voted for him three times. Now they want the rest of America to give them welfare. When they did it to themselves. But they don’t like socialism.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

The FDA statement ends with a paragraph undermining its own warning. They signal parents to avoid acetaminophen. Except sometimes. And then: No “causal relationship… established” with ADHD or autism AND Alternatives to acetaminophen have “well-documented adverse impacts.”

The summer peak is happening a bit later this year, but across the US, wastewater data shows a high level of SARS-CoV-2. For now, Pfizer is still running their Paxcess program, so if you get COVID and need Paxlovid but it's too expensive, check it out and take care: www.paxlovid.com/paxcess

NEW: The authoritarian crackdown begins in LA. This is dystopian. As the dictator’s parade is broadcast in the top right corner, MSNBC’s reporter and peaceful protestors are charged by police as tear gas is fired. Watch till the end.

Representative Jimmy Gomez posted this on Instagram. Those detained by ICE are being transferred and held far from where they were detained. This keeps them away from families and harder to contact attorneys. Another reason to protest today. We will not accept this anymore #Resist #NoKings

Excellent interview by @daniellebeckman.bsky.social and @davidjoffe64.bsky.social on the impacts of COVID on the brain. We don’t talk about the cognitive impacts of repeat Covid infections enough. Long term it’s simply not sustainable. We need clean air and good public health education on masks!

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

A UK citizen has been detained by ICE at the Canadian border. Her possessions confiscated, she’s being held in a cell with limited access to the outside world and no idea when she will be allowed to return home. Stop traveling to the U.S. Vote with your dollar & protect yourself.

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

For everyone who stood in the cold, who drove hours, who stepped out of the comfort zone, who made a sign, who stood quietly off to the side, who reached out to others, who believes we can be better on this #FiftyFiftyOne day of protests I send my respect, my admiration, and above all, my thanks!
