Hello! I’m the reporter who has been tracking citizens detained by immigration agents. And last night, I noticed something: A lot of them were at the State of the Union, including a number of whom I’ve written about. Their stories should be known:

Neighbor: “Sure they wear ICE hats to the gym, but they’re the nicest people and would do anything for anyone” Me: “except for immigrants seeking a better life” Why do people feel the need to normalize abhorrent behavior?

WOW! AN HONOR! — GCN

You don’t have to compost grandma, but if that’s what grandma wants it seems reasonable that it should be an option.

Edward Fitzpatrick@fitzprov.bsky.social · last yr.

@rihouseofreps.bsky.social passes human composting bill, shifting focus to @risenate.bsky.social. “I do not intend to compost grandma,” one opponent said of the bill, which @mcgaw4ri.bsky.social has been broadened to include alkaline hydrolysis, or water cremation www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/30/m...

If you know anything about RFK Jr the fact that he falsified the MAHA report should not surprise you in the least.

Just read the MAHA "report." To paraphrase a great cartoon cat: it’s like a pile of crap ate another pile of crap and then crapped out a third pile of crap. The report is that third pile.

My constituent,Jennifer McDowell, and others who testify in support of this bill and those that email me with their personal stories are asking to die with dignity when their time comes. Is compassion for their plight too much to ask?
