Letter from the public health director and public school superintendent about the measles cases in NC
The director of public health and the superintendent of public schools here in Durham, NC, are not messing about
“In the event of an exposure & your child does not have the appropriate vaccination documentation on file, it will result in the student’s removal from school for 21 days.”
What amazing news! Well done to all involved!!!

The closing of African American Studies and GWSS at Iowa is absolutely heartbreaking. It is such an important time to study these subjects. Words really cannot express how upsetting this decision is. www.thegazette.com/higher-educa...
Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF
“Compared to the reduction at the national level, the large declines in cervical cancer incidence observed in several states were very encouraging"

these people treat being called racist like it is a slur, and treat slurs like they're mere differences of opinion
Mayor Brandon Johnson announced “Abolish ICE” as the winner of a citywide snow plow name contest. He had earlier given it a “full and complete” endorsement.
His last season (2013-14) he hit 31 goals in 33 games without a single penalty. Very much worthy of debate.
It takes a squad to win trophies. But as a solo player, Suarez was incredible.
Respondents have already wasted valuable time and resources. Worst of all, not only does detention without due process deprive members of the Bond Eligible Class of their liberty, economic stability, and fundamental dignity, but it also harms their families, communities, and the fabric of this very nation. IT IS SO ORDERED.
Wow.
Fed. judge tells DHS, ICE, Sec. Noem, AG Bondi, EOIR and others that they are harming "the fabric of this very nation" by defying a court order that vacated their automatic-detention policy.

5’th Amendment: “No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process.” It doesn’t say anything about citizenship status, party affiliation, religion or race. Just “person.”
We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.
There are non US citizens influencing our elections, they’re called corporations.
The establishment wants us to not focus on this.
It’s not a withdrawal until ICE is abolished.
I have neighbors everywhere.
If they want to have TSA paid, have them agree to the terms or move TSA out of DHS.
DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.
I caught Mr. Smee here after he entered our home through the toilet. This navy seal-trained rat just be climbing sewer pipes and swimming u-bends, looking for a house with bananas on the counter.
This is the key point - it's not about Moderna's flu vaccine, it's about sending a signal to the rest of the industry that vaccine development isn't viable in the US. It's all part of the larger anti-vaccine agenda.
Bought some shades for our house. I was alarmed at the price. Now realizing that a lot of that is tariffs.
But isn't this a bad thing? The attorney who broke down before the judge said she couldn't handle all the judges orders for habeas and other discharges. Doesn't this mean less justice for those pulled into ICE's black hole?

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."
This isn’t an ocean wave.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

![“Good afternoon. My name is [redacted] and my wife and I have been at OMDC since April 15 2025,” reads a handwritten note, wrapped around a lotion bottle that was thrown by a man held captive inside the Otay Mesa Detention Center (OMDC) on Sunday.
“It’s cold here all the time and the food is poor,” the missive continues. “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tgw3d4hvw3x5ijrxax7lg26u/bafkreiet46krrk7ovnqxsd6vr7ogw2lgame43jsqw25u2ygi5el5i5toom@jpeg)

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."
