Nayra Guzmán was 15 days post C-section — going to see her baby in the NICU — when she was taken to Broadview and held in custody for about 34 hours.
She slept on a bench and barely got food. She couldn't pump.
Her story is a rare window into the growing detention of pregnant & postpartum people.

Her baby was in the NICU. She was in ICE detention.
Before Trump took office, postpartum immigrants were rarely detained by ICE. Nayra Guzmán was detained while her 15-day-old baby was in the NICU.

According to the UNFPA, there is strong evidence that CSE improves HIV knowledge and self-efficacy related to refusing sex or condom use and contributes to delayed sexual debut and increased condom use, thus reducing sexually transmitted infections, HIV transmission and unintended pregnancy! (2/2)

Indonesia’s president on Monday anointed the late dictator Suharto as a national hero, in what many said was a stunning move of revisionist history.

The media are at pains to point out that Zohran is a savvy communicator and ran a fantastic ground campaign, but have played down the programme that made his election possible: his relentless focus on the cost of living crisis, taking on the super-rich and redistributing wealth.

Took MRT into town (office around KLCC area) today as I was blocked from driving into yesterday. Only for the line I’m on to breakdown at peak hour traffic, while it rained heavily. Just a bad, bad day.

His father’s reply changed his perspective. “I was an Indian in Uganda. I was a Muslim in India. And I was all of these things in New York City,” Mahmood Mamdani explained to his son. And “to be a minority is also to see the truth of the place amidst the promise of it.”

Sadly, I agree. I just had a listen to the whole album. It all sounds clichéd & tired. Maybe we need to “miss” Swift, maybe I’m looking for depth here. Just not for me. Says she who loved 1989.

The singer has everything she ever wanted—her new album suggests that it’s all sort of a drag.

Seems bad.
So the alarming part about this isn't publicizing medbeds, which I doubt Trump personally even knows about. The bad part is he doesn't want — or even need — to adhere to reality anymore. He needs his base ready to go to war for him, maybe literally. He is in the endtimes prophecy business now.
