2025 was the deadliest year on record for ICE.

People are dying in the camps.

They’re dying in the streets.

US citizens have been shot and killed.

These are just the deaths we know about.

Then there’s the deaths you won’t hear as much about.

The disabled. The vulnerable. The homeless or anyone labelled “expendable”.

Never forget that fascism and eugenics go hand in hand.

My latest is about Wael Tarabishi, a 30 year old disabled US citizen who relied on his father for full time care.

ICE grabbed Maher when he showed up for his yearly immigration check in.

Wael pleaded for his release. He told ICE he would die without his caregiver.

They didn’t care. Wael died three months later.

His dad never got to say goodbye.

His story deserves to be told.

ICE ensured his last months were filled with unnecessary pain and suffering.

They killed Wael:

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died three months later.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t even get to say goodbye.

‘Wellness’ feels like it’s losing all meaning in health tech https://www.theverge.com/column/878337/optimizer-oura-wearables-fda-regulation-digital-health-screeners

‘Wellness’ feels like it’s losing all meaning in health tech https://www.theverge.com/column/878337/optimizer-oura-wearables-fda-regulation-digital-health-screeners

Earlier this week, I read that Oura is lobbying for a "digital health screeners" classification to ease the FDA clearance process.

So I chatted with Oura's chief medical officers about it. Aka once again, I'm here in Optimizer to yell about "Wellness"

‘Wellness’ feels like it’s losing all meaning in health tech

Oura is lobbying for relaxed wearables regulation. It has a point, but is regulation even the problem here?
