Watching this docu on how in 1980 Western researchers used ice cap data to discover an unknown supervolcano eruption in the 1200s, worked till 2012 to finally ID it as Lombok in Indonesia, went there & the locals were like "oh yeah heres the records we documented it in detail you shoulda just asked"

I’m *extremely concerned* about the way folks are reforming their image of the cops in light of everything that’s happening, even though we only have a handful examples of them disagreeing with ICE, while still being responsible themselves for the murders of Black and brown people across the country

How UnitedHealth’s Playbook for Limiting Mental Health Coverage Puts Countless Americans’ Treatment at Risk United used an algorithm system to identify patients who it determined were getting too much therapy and then limited coverage. It was deemed illegal in three states, but similar practices persist due...

UnitedHealth is the nation’s largest health insurance conglomerate.

ProPublica obtained what is effectively the company’s internal playbook for limiting and cutting therapy costs.

Here’s what we found.

Video shared with me by attendee at the ICE protest in Portland, OR earlier this evening where federal agents tear gassed peaceful protestors—including children, disabled and elderly:

I don't have much to say other than:

a) They will gas anyone. Attack anyone. They've dropped all pretense. You should be prepared.

b) This will radicalize millions of people who've been non-committal or apathetic for decades.

UK loses measles elimination status Decision made after outbreaks in 2024, when there were nearly 3,000 cases in England and Wales.

The UK has lost its measles elimination status, the World Health Organization has announced.

Vaccine disinformation is a worldwide pandemic that is killing us.

Please don’t make jokes about Trump and Epstein.

The survivors are still waiting for justice.

They were children who experienced unspeakable horrors and abuse.

They’ve been ignored, gaslit, threatened and re-traumatized.

It’s not a joke and every predator must be punished.

EVERYONE:

Read up on "Tear Gas Tuesday" from 2020.

There have been chemical studies done on the months of Portland in 2020, including that day, featured here.

He's looting the U.S. Treasury, people. Most crooked dictators find covert ways to get rich. Trump intends to simply order his government to transfer money into his bank account.

Also very Japanese American internment. So many family homes and farms seized for pennies on the dollar by white neighbors

5 year old Liam Ramos and his father will both be freed from ICE detention thanks to a ruling by a US District Judge.

Little Liam was used as bait and then locked up where his health has declined.

I hope they give him back his bunny hat.

Next step… free all the children!

stop in the middle of the intersections and exit ramps, blocking traffic until they figure out which way to go?

There was one point near the end of the Big Dig when I picked my ex up from work late at night and had a different detour home every night. I learned a lot of roads that way.

This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.

A snowy street, with a cleared sidewalk.

I can't do anything about so many problems.

But my neighbors are elderly. And I can clear the snow off of their sidewalk while it's still mostly powder.

I really need people who see this to ask themselves what good reform is going to do. Another law on the books? A constitutional amendment?

What does that matter when the people in charge of the agency are hyping them up and telling them to do violence and that they are inherently immune if they do?
