I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

But when we said "defund the police," we were mocked

When the nazis were coming into power, there was a lag before local law enforcement was fully on board. People were able to get police protection from nazi-aligned paramilitaries. Here, today, police look at rising fascism and say “Finally. We’ve been waiting for this.” www.notus.org/democrats/me...

Democrats' New Fear: They Can’t Rely on Local Law Enforcement for Protection

“They called the local sheriff; they showed up and were going to arrest me,” said Rep. Steven Horsford.

My sister died the day after her 40th birthday due to extreme stress. She took a nap and never woke up.

Nothing is gonna stress me out to that extent. Not a man, not a job, not these bills, and for damn sure not politics. I refuse.

Stress kills.
That’s the real advice for your 30s.

COVID Isn’t a Cold. It’s Cigarettes All Over Again.

5 years into this experiment: we let COVID rip and pretended it was fine. Damage piled up—unlike smoking’s slow toll, we’re seeing it in real time. Every infection leaves a mark; even “mild.” The bill comes due. We chose denial

archive.md/Jyi7k

A vintage 1946 Camel cigarette advertisement shows a smiling older white man in a doctor’s coat holding a cigarette. The slogan claims “More Doctors Smoke Camels Than Any Other Cigarette.” Above the ad, bold yellow text reads “COVID Isn’t a Cold. It’s Cigarettes All Over Again,” drawing a parallel between COVID risks and the tobacco industry’s history of downplaying harm.

Numerous (5 or 6 now) Free Palestine activists in NYC have interrupted an event at which former VP Kamala Harris is speaking, leading her to sit and wait for them stop screaming or be removed.

Notably, the current President was in NYC all day yesterday, without such interruptions.
