that last line

Under Dr. Mermin’s leadership, new H.I.V. infections in the nation dropped by 36 percent, and resurgent sexually transmitted infections showed the first signs of a plateau nationwide.

He also directed health departments to spend the bulk of their money on prevention. It was “a very precise and scientific and logical approach” to make the biggest impact for the least money, said Greg Millett, who worked as a deputy for the Office of National AIDS Policy in the Obama White House.

Now, however, Dr. Mermin is spending his days at home with his chickens and his misbehaving cat. The fate of the H.I.V. division hangs in the balance, and he worries that lawmakers may not realize its importance. “What if no one cares?” he said.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

I am sharing this again with the hopes that I can go back to school. Vet School is expensive and I never anticipated the tuition increases during my degree, that would lead me to leaving the university.

Please donate and share!

I find myself in these positions alot so i empathize with the feeling. I just think the question was quite charged just cause of how vague it was. I asked why and he didst reply so i dont know if i should inquire more

kand @kandx.bsky.social · 7d

Yeah thats true, i rarely had 1 to 1 moments with said person, but i think at some point we stopped being acquaintances. And things like these are what make me scared to open up to others

This is just not something that happens in a society that still purports itself to be a liberal democracy. We’ve crossed that threshold

Armed federal agents in military fatigues
busted down their doors overnight, pulling men, women and children from their apartments, some of them naked, residents and witnesses said. Agents approached or entered nearly every apartment in the five-story building, and U.S. citizens were among those detained for hours.
When he got home from work, Jones said he entered his unit to find all of his
electronics and furniture missing, and all of his clothes and shoes thrown on the floor.
Jones said he had no idea who took his belongings and hadn't received answers from Chicago police.
