The ICE agent called her a "fucking bitch" after he killed her. One officer screams "Go, get out of here" while this officer says "Get out of the car." You clearly see her turn the wheel AWAY from him after he steps in front of her car. Did they think releasing this would help them?? cw // violence

Trump Admin Scores Visa for Founder of Russian Propaganda Outlet Tenet Media’s Lauren Chen is back—even though the illegal-influence and money-laundering investigation remains open.

A few months ago, ICE agents shot a TikToker. The govt then charged him, alleging he tried to ram agents

Well guess what?

Body-cam footage -- which the gov't delayed disclosing -- shows that's BS.

The agent shot by mistake.

And a judge just dismissed charges.

Graph showing life expectancy trends in 23 higher income countries between 1980 and 2024. Life expectancy increased over time in all countries. In 1980, the US is in the middle of the pack, but their life expectancy gains were slower than that of other countries, and by around 2002, the US had the lowest life expectancy of all countries. Over the next 20 years, US life expectancy increasingly tracks away from the trajectories of other countries, as their life expectancy stalls while other countries life expectancy continues to climb

This graph never fails to be shocking: "The US has experienced the earliest and greatest slowdown in life expectancy improvements among higher-income countries, reported Eileen Crimmins. “We have horrible life expectancy—and it’s getting worse and worse”"
