“Meanwhile, more than a third said Americans are responsible only for themselves, and have no duty to be vaccinated to protect others. Nearly half of MAHA voters said they hold that view.”
Selfish & obsessed with toxic individualism.
Barrera said her husband said the smell of human feces in the toilet caused a fellow detainee to vomit and, in turn, created a chain of people vomiting. She said her husband is asthmatic and has not received medication to treat his condition. The lack of medicine and the stress of the overcrowded holding cell has left him short of breath and teetering on the edge of an asthma attack, Barrera said. ICE did not immediately respond to questions on April 10 about the conditions of the Mesa or Phoenix facilities. After the publication of this article, Barrera told The Arizona Republic her husband was transferred to the ICE facility at San Luis Regional Detention Center at about midnight. The San Luis Regional Detention Center is in Southwestern Arizona and has the capacity to hold 700 people.
This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.

It’s hard not to see Vance’s criticism of the Pope’s theological bona fides as just silly hubris.
But I also see it as a stress test of sorts — can they manipulate sentiment against a pontiff. Not for Trump’s interests. More likely for Thiel’s.
This regime’s federal workforce changes cost the economy ~$165.6B.
The real losses--expertise, programs, future lives saved--are immeasurable.

The DOJ just asked a federal appeals court to throw out the convictions of 12 Proud Boys and Oath Keepers members who were found guilty of crimes connected to the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

A dangerous federal book ban bill, HR 7661, is moving through Congress to erase LGBTQ stories from public schools and libraries by threatening them with defunding.
This is not about protection; it is a targeted attempt to erase our families.
We are deciding right now if we are to be a nation of concentration camps and ethnic cleansing. And there is much citizens can do!
Klein: The companies call it “hallucinations.” It makes mistakes. They have not been able to figure out how to fix the mistakes.
And then when you ask the companies, “How did you get there?” they can’t fully explain it. This is a strange thing about this technology.

After three hours inside the confines of the immigrant detention center in the Florida Everglades, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said she discovered needlessly inhumane conditions, including 32 men housed in each cage, minimal food and a persistent odor of urine.

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.
Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

🚨BREAKING: Iranian media agency Tasnim reports that a US pilot may be in the custody of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps after ejecting from an F-35 fighter jet hit by Iranian fire.
If true, Iran just acquired a hostage. The last time Americans were held captive in Iran, it ended a presidency.
This looks exactly like what the US, or Hollywood, would've accused despotic third world governments of doing in past administrations.
From now on, they don't get to stand on a higher moral pedestal spouting the same smug self-righteous propaganda lecturing some other regimes.
Why do we live in such a childish, stupid country? A country that wastes its money on useless billion dollar aircraft carriers, when it could be spending those tax dollars to actually help its citizens like sane countries.
The professor reportedly wrote in a March 18 newsletter, which he sent via the center’s listserv, that “Israeli actions tell us that they seek the destruction of the state, not just its ruling class.” The email, titled “More notes on the Iran war,” reportedly added that it “was always BS” that the Islamic Republic was pursuing nuclear weapons.
The U. of Washington stripped its Director of Middle East Studies of his position for writing an email that said “Israeli actions tell us that they seek the destruction of the state, not just its ruling class” and that Iran had not been pursuing nuclear weapons.
In other words, for stating facts.

Pfizer has ended its large Phase III Trial of an updated COVID19 vaccine.
They were not able to enroll enough people to meet their goal.
A major problem is the FDA’s wholly unreasonable demand that people with chronic conditions, who benefit most from the vaccine, not be allowed to participate.
