WATCH: “They don’t want their community buried in trash… The state won’t fight for us. Nobody is coming to save us, we have to save ourselves.”

Folks will fight (vs. @RepChrisTodd) for the Big South Fork River — HOUSE AG COMMITTEE 9AM TOMORROW 🚨

ICE detainee in Arizona dies after not receiving medical attention for severe tooth pain Emmanuel Damas, a Haitian asylum seeker, was being held at the Florence correctional center before he died

A Haitian asylum seeker detained by ICE died after being refused timely medical attention for a severe toothache.

At least 40 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office — a two-decade high.

The monstrous cruelty of Trump's police state knows no bounds.

Markwayne Mullin at DHS will be more of the same.

After the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, he echoed many of the same talking points pushed by Kristi Noem.

Listen for yourself:

I’ll be presenting at two amazing roundtable/townhall sessions at the 86th Annual Meeting, March 17-21, 2026 | Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town | Albuquerque, NM, as well as a Training Program & Recruitment Exhibit for the Isla Mujeres Ethnographic Field School.

This roundtable examines the ethical and methodological challenges and opportunities that arise when nonhuman actors mediate rapport, consent, and representation. As the “field” itself becomes increasingly algorithmic, how do we sustain integrity, authorship, & accountability within these systems?

RFK’s Anti-Vax Team Readies Its Next Moves “Their game is, let’s really destabilize trust in the vaccine, and make people really anxious about it.”

"I think the exact language is that it is 'not scientifically accurate' to say that vaccines do not cause autism. It’s a very strange formulation. That is like saying, 'I have no evidence that umbrellas do not cause kittens.'" lnk.thebulwark.com/3Xt957M

Remembering Spc. Sarah Beckstrom and Honoring Her Service A soldier lost in Washington, and what her death means for those who served beside her.

"For most, this tragedy will be a headline that soon fades. But for those in her unit, it will divide their service, and likely their lives, into 'before' and 'after.' Soldiers know that feeling. I certainly do."

Graphic for World AIDS Day 2025 showing a Black woman standing on a higher red ledge reaching down to pull up a Black man on a lower red ledge, with the words ‘World AIDS Day | 2025’ on the bottom.

Today is World AIDS Day.

“An awareness day is not a strategy” is the US government's rationale for not publicly acknowledging World AIDS Day for the first time since the inaugural WAD in 1988.

Global Ethnography Program

The program is remote in instruction but flexible in application: you may conduct research locally, in the field, or entirely online using remote ethnographic techniques, or a mix of both.

Because science doesn't mean anything in this idiocracy.

Is it also possible that there was a lot less reporting because of the handcuffs placed on the CDC and many other orgs that report to them?

Deaths peaked at 2,584 in last winter's COVID wave

Deaths peaked at 1,030 in this winter's COVID wave

Good news is rare these days so here's some: This winter's COVID wave was less than half as deadly as last year's

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"
