In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Purpletop vervain (Verbena bonariensis). Self seeding once established, with blossom clusters waving gloriously atop spindly stems.

This is one of my favorite shrubs. Tropical looking in summer with dark palmate leaves, buds in December are so festive & early spring blooms are fragrant. LOVE!

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio PeΓ±a, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out β€œfully autonomous” means β€œa guy in the Philippines.”

I see two immigrants in the picture, and the other guy has an ex who was an immigrant and a current wife who is an immigrant.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

Way to go, Philadelphia! The city has introduced new legislation putting real limits on ICE activity. Federal agents will no longer be allowed to operate anonymously no masks, visible identification required, and arrests must be backed by warrants signed by a federal judge.

F.B.I. Agent Who Tried to Investigate ICE Officer in Shooting Resigns

Breaking NYT:

The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, β€œIt’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

THE WOMAN WHO WAS DRAGGED OUT OF HER CAR AND ARRESTED BY ICE SPEAKS OUT…

We’ve all seen the videos, but it matters to hear Aliya Rahman say it herself.

πŸ“Œ She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.

🚨The messaging here needs to be viral. I do not care if you download, screenshot, or make it your ownβ€”however you like, but the message needs to spread. No QP’s. Make it YOURS. White people have a responsibility and an opportunity to do the right thing. Let’s own it, now, today…

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

ICE Director CAUGHT LYING on LIVE TV About BODY CAM COVER-UP
ICE Director CAUGHT LYING on LIVE TV About BODY CAM COVER-UP YouTube video by Katie Phang

ICE Director, Todd Lyons, is LYING to the American public about why ICE agent, Jonathan Ross, didn’t have a bodycam when he murdered Renee Nicole Good.

I bring the receipts, including the Trump Executive Order that ended the use of body cams by ICE.

Welcome to the back of our very large tent. I find the notion that you expect head of line privileges bizarre. The way you cried at trumps first inauguration lasts in my mind’s eye. SMDH.

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.

When an American civilian was shot by ICE, the mayor of Minneapolis didn’t sugar coat it:

β€œICE, get the F*CK out!”

That’s leadership. That’s humanity. That’s how you stand up to state-sanctioned terror.

FYI:

In 1916 the U.S. signed an agreement for control of St. Thomas, St. John & St. Croix, known as the β€œDanish West Indies,” in exchange for $25 million & a declaration that the U.S. would β€œnot object to the Danish Govt extending their political & economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

You know what is precedents? Insurance as non profit. Profiteering off of illness & injury was once unprecedented in our country.
