Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

Message from the Sackets Harbor Principal
As the principal of these students, I need to speak plainly.
Our three students who were taken by ICE were doing everything right. They had declared themselves to immigration judges, attended court on their assigned dates, and were following the legal process.
They are not criminals. They have no ties to any criminal activity. They are loved in their classrooms. Their family has worked at the nearby "Old McDonald's" petting zoo and dairy farm for 15 years.
They lived in a house on the same road as a home ICE had a warrant for. The fact that ICE went door to door is unfathomable. The fact that our students were handcuffed and put into the same van as the alleged criminal from down the street is unconscionable. When I think of my third grader's experience, my stomach twists and it is hard to breathe.
We are in shock-and it is that shared shock that has unified our community in the call for our students' release.
We are in direct communication with our students. Let me be clear: they are not
"being medically evaluated." They are not being "questioned as potential victims."
Calling a detention center by another name does not change what it is.
We deserve better than spin and misinformation. My teachers and my students are already hurting.
Please, think about how long every hour feels for a third grader in a detention center.
The wait had already been too long a week ago.
I have no other agenda. Please release my students and their mother back to our community.

Sackets Harbor, NY is so small that thereโ€™s one pre k-12 school with 475 students. Three of those students were disappeared by ICE.

Here is a statement published today by school principal Jaime Cook:

Sally Rooney: When are we going to have the courage to stop the climate crisis? Capitalism is driving the destruction of our planet. We have to think outside โ€“ and against โ€“ the framework of our current political system

5 Takeaways From a Year of Medicaid Upheaval In the year after a pandemic-era policy preserving Medicaid coverage lapsed, more than 20 million people were dropped from the program at some point.

The system of applying for and retaining Medicaid is too burdensome. This has always been true. The unwinding merely highlighted this, by contrasting the status quo with a more accessible we had during the pandemic.

Excellent piece:
