Thank you, Dr. Fauci, for your invaluable, brave, patriotic service during the pandemic despite the knuckle-dragging anti-science right-wing Covidiots showering you with death threats as you simply tried to save as many lives as possible.

@KarenHoward42@OccupyDemocrats Of course! What in the world was that all about? Why would any sane person send a motorcade down the middle of this while being repaired?
@OccupyDemocrats What about Trump driving his motorcade through this pool? Was that without any effect? And really it’s all been explained as a chemical reaction from pouring hydrogen peroxide into this pool and therefore the paint was reacting with it and lifting it up.
BREAKING: Near-blind refugee DIES after border patrol dumps him miles away from home.
This story is not just a tragedy. It’s a damning indictment.
Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56-year-old Rohingya refugee who was nearly blind and spoke no English, was released from custody by U.S. Border Patrol — and dropped off at a Tim Hortons five miles from his home.
No ride. No notification to his family. No assistance whatsoever.
Days later, he was found dead on a Buffalo street.
Shah Alam had fled persecution in Burma and arrived in Buffalo just 15 months ago, seeking safety. Instead, after being arrested last year for carrying a curtain rod he used as a walking stick — and allegedly being Tasered and beaten when he couldn’t follow English commands — he ended up in jail.
His family didn’t bail him out for fear he’d be shipped to ICE detention out of state. Eventually, he took a plea deal that allowed him to clear the immigration detainer and avoid ICE detention.
But when Border Patrol picked him up after bail, instead of transferring him to a detention center as expected, agents reportedly dropped him at a doughnut shop across town and left him to find his way home.
He was nearly blind. He couldn’t speak English. He had no phone. And no one told his family he’d been released.
For days, they searched. Police even briefly closed his missing persons case after mistakenly believing he was still in ICE custody. Now homicide detectives are investigating the “circumstances and timeframe” leading to his death. The cause has not yet been released.
Advocates for the Rohingya community are devastated.
“We never thought anyone would experience anything like this since coming to the United States,” said Imran Fazel, who knows the family. “It doesn’t make me feel safe in a country like this.”
Let’s be clear: Shah Alam survived genocide. He survived displacement. He survived fleeing his homeland. But in America — the country that promised refuge — he was allegedly abandoned in the dark. And he never made it home.
He leaves behind a wife and two sons. And a haunting question: How does a blind refugee get left on a street corner — and end up dead?

BREAKING: RED ALERT! A shocking new report just revealed that Trump and his allies are plotting to declare a state of emergency in order to steal the 2026 midterms!
The Washington Post is reporting that Trump allies have drafted and are circulating a 17-page executive order that would use bogus allegations that China interfered in the 2020 election in order to justify “extraordinary presidential power over voting,” including mandating voter ID and banning mail-in votes.
“Under the Constitution, it’s the legislatures and states that really control how a state conducts its elections, and the president doesn’t have any power to do that,” says Peter Ticktin, one of the people involved in the creation of the order.
“But here we have a situation where the president is aware that there are foreign interests that are interfering in our election processes. That causes a national emergency where the president has to be able to deal with it.”
A 2021 intelligence report found that China was considering getting involved in the 2020 election but decided against it.
Standing in the way of his order is the fact that the Constitution mandates that states, not the federal government, regulate elections, and it’s unlikely that any executive order would hold up in court…until it reaches the Supreme Court, at which point all bets are off and the Justices will get to decide whether or not we stay a democracy.
Even if this comes to pass, it’s not the end. But we need to be ready, and we need to be organized. If mail-in ballots get banned, we need to be ready to drive people to the polls. If voter ID gets passed, we need to be ready to help people get the IDs they need in time.
Nothing will stop us from taking back our country from this would-be dictator and his psychotic cronies!
@CNBC@SenWarren Why ask for only two cents? Jesus why should they have all that money? And who the hell do they think is going to make them any more money? If we don’t earn money and have money to spend then how do all these fucking oligarchs get more of their riches?
🚨Last night in House Appropriations, all Republicans present voted to allow THEMSELVES to get settlements from the January 6th Slush Fund. I am not making this up.
