Norma Bowe, a nurse in New Jersey, runs a mobile health clinic that stops outside Delaney Hall detention center, where she provides blood pressure checks, stroke assessments and other care. Yesterday, she told me about the day she says she was assaulted by an ICE agent. My latest via @19thnews.org

it’s depressing how many dems turn to gutter racism when their backs are against the wall

She knows she’s losing so she said let’s just go mask off.

Yep, if we’d known a week earlier to mask maybe I wouldn’t have had long COVID for 6+ years

Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 6d ago

Let’s be clear here, when scientists say mistakes were made at the start of the pandemic, we DO NOT mean that we did too much. We mean not socially distancing quickly enough, not making tests widely available, and not acknowledging COVID is airborne and distributing N95 masks to everyone.

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

Don’t call them ICE detention centers. Call them camps | John Washington

I’ve spent a decade reporting on immigration enforcement. The word ‘camp’ best captures the political function of these facilities

It is sooooo concerning that anyone can get GLP-1s now if they're willing to pay. Way too many people are using them who don't need them, which can be dangerous physically and certainly societally. I don't understand why these drugs aren't more restricted. www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/beyo...

WHOA DHS does not say that the agent feared for his life… just the vague concern for “public safety.” So he killed him just because he did not want him in America, not because of any specific threat to agents?

The Trump administration has not told the public what it costs to put on the “Largest Fireworks Show in History.” Nor has it said whether American taxpayers will be footing the bill for the plan to break the world record on July Fourth.

We Still Don't Know What the National Mall Fireworks Show Will Cost

Or who is footing the bill. But fireworks companies speculate that the record-breaking event is a “many multimillion-dollar production.”

Hundreds of uniformed members of what appeared to be Patriot Front, a white supremacist group, marched through D.C. and toward the Capitol. Their faces covered in white masks, the men carried flags — some upside down, others Confederate — as they chanted, “Reclaim America!” https://wapo.st/3QQfkCX

Hi Mayor! Coned reduced voltage for many neighborhoods uptown and in the Bronx. Wondering if the same considerations were taken for other parts of the city? We have elders in our building with disabilities who had no way of getting out of their apt because our building had to shut down the elevator

Manhattan: 0 really says it all abc7ny.com/amp/post/vol...

So amid the heat wave in NYC ConEd has reduced voltage levels. In addition to leaving thousands w/o power, many elevators are unusable, which strikes me as hugely discriminatory/ illegal for disabled and elderly folks. Not a lawyer but IMO ConEd should be sued over this. abc7ny.com/amp/post/vol...
