Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Banning “dangerous gain-of-function” pathogen research is actually just banning pathogen research. TB causes chronic disease, the supposed cornerstone of the MAHA movement. Hard to see ending TB research on treatments as anything but another targeted attack on science in service of destroying it.

Rock Lab @rocklabtb.bsky.social · 14d

Ditto. Thanks for this Sarah. www.statnews.com/2025/10/06/g...

The NIH ordered me to stop my ‘dangerous’ gain-of-function research. It isn’t dangerous at all

Safe gain-of-function research is necessary to identify new treatments for diseases like for tuberculosis — but the NIH has imposed unfounded stops.

This all started after I pissed off some fragile little libertarian pissant, and I'm betting he started stalking my account and reporting everything he can. 🙄 I noticed he replied to one of my posts and then checked his profile to see if he was someone worth replying

My last ban was a 3 day ban for threatening a "person".

The person was a tire.

Reddit keeps rejecting my appeals (this shit keeps happening) and I even submitted a ticket to ask for an explanation of why I keep getting accused of, and banned for, making threats against people....

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

Easily 80% of the replies are nearly identical to mine, but *I'm* banned. Make it make sense... 🤣

I got a 7 day ban on Reddit for threatening a person.

The threat? An insult, "fucking monster". The "person"? God. 😂😂😂

Apparently insulting fictional characters is making threats against a real person, according to Reddit.

The best part is it was in response to a post asking,

You know, there's a point where you have to read the room & realize that the thing you created has become something other than what you planned. In fact, it's weirdly successful at being the new thing, & it serves a lot of people well. And even though that's not what you wanted, it's where you are.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
