  • CDC site showing current variants, their lineages, and percentages. Also possibly a NowCast for your state or region.

    Wastewater scan for covid and other infectious diseases. Filter by state or selected individual sewage processing plants that are part of the wastewater scan project (note that not all plants test for all diseases). Tells you how prevalent those diseases are in that area, potentially before diseases start to surge. May also have variant information.

    PMC data dashboard. Lots of potentially useful stuff.





  • Cmdr. Lillian Carranza said it was irresponsible for people to describe the arrests as “kidnappings” and encourage people to call 911, saying that there is misinformation circulating online about how and when federal authorities can arrest someone. Authorities don’t need to present a warrant when encountering someone on the street, she said; all they need is probable cause. “If people have concerns about the conduct of federal agents, they need to seek justice in court,” she said. “That is the place to litigate the case. Not the streets.”

    A) ICE is moving people beyond their local jurisdiction as quickly as they can, and are deliberately not updating records as to where people have been taken, specifically to avoid being held up by the courts.

    B) How do you seek justice in the courts when the officers won’t show their faces, won’t identify themselves or the agency they work for, and reports they file don’t name the officers or departments involved? How do you seek justice in the courts when they’re deliberately and repeatedly moving people around specifically to keep them beyond the reach of the courts?















  • Just a reminder that the “border” in the US extends 100 miles inland from any actual physical border - so 100 miles inland from Canada, Mexico, the Atlantic, Pacific or Arctic oceans, or the Gulf of Mexico.

    And that for the last decade or so, they’ve also been trying to claim that any international airport is also a border, so the “border” would extend 100 out from Denver, Saint Louis, Indianapolis, etc.

    And they’ve been trying to claim that an “international” airport is any airport capable of landing an international flight, regardless of whether any international flights actually fly there.
