This is the first of a five-article series—a deep dive into Albany, GA. With a population of ~67K, it probably mirrors most mid-size cities in the US, including the fact that the local hospital is the most important & powerful business in town. This a story about that hospital. It's a tragic story.
THREAD: It was supposed to be a routine surgery. So when the doctor stepped out, Sandra Parker wasn’t sure she heard right.
Her husband’s heart couldn’t have stopped for more than 5 or 6 minutes, the doctor was saying.
“That’s not a lot of time,” Mrs. Parker thought. “Is it?”

To be clear: Detaining law abiding citizens is unconstitutional. And rounding people up because of the color of their skin is disgusting.

Something that just occurred to me is for all Hegseth's machismo prostrating it's like a classically cowardly thing to kill defenseless men in war. Like by millennia-old standards of honor.

If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

This DHS post in a fashy font features the sizzle reel of the raid on the Chicago apartment building, set to a cover of “Jesus Walks,” a song by Ye…an artist originally from Chicago who is now best known for his “Christian,” pro-Hitler stance. Very subtle.

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”
The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.
It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

Why is sex-as-punishment or sex-as-suffering elevated as art, but as soon as you see characters having sex for the pure pleasure of it, it's immediately dismissed? Why do we have so many graphic depictions of sexual assault and sexual trauma and so very few of sexual fulfillment? Rly makes u think
