ICE detains five-year-old Minnesota boy arriving home, say school officials Superintendent says Liam Ramos and his father were taken into custody while in their driveway and sent to Texas

‘Terrible things are happening outside… Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return… to find their families gone.’

Hopefully in the freezer and painlessly dispatched before boiling.

Donald Trump is weak. He’s a bully. And when we won’t bow down to kings or to bullies, they start to lose their power.

The American people do not bow down.

No deployment of the military in our cities.

No illegal mass racial profiling.

No kings in America.

A culture that tolerates and elevates pseudoscience will be at odds with the health of its citizens.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

Thank you to everyone who protested today- so many great people. You inspired me and made me feel proud to be among you . I love you ♥️🇺🇸

It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you.

It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

They are treating people worse than mere numbers, not even bothering to track them once they’re in the system. Unacceptable.

This is such a powerful article. Recently I was addressed by a male as 'Little Missy'. A little missy with 20+ years of training

How will expansion of physician associates affect patient safety? Experience with nursing assistants calls for extreme caution, write Rachel Greenley and Martin McKee Too often what seems like a good idea turns out not to be. The NHS is facing a staffing crisis. It...

9/11 And while some may argue, we have a workforce crisis and need more people, experience with nursing associates shows that adding less qualified people can make things more dangerous www.bmj.com/content/386/...

It's hard to make sense of all the multiple discourses about the NHS. I find myself sceptical a lot of the time- there's so much promotion of vested interests. The people I trust are those who step back & consider diverse forms of evidence, & who are committed to an inclusive, participatory process.

An unrushed conversation that enables us to hear each other & let our thinking unfold- if this was a medicine it'd be sold as a breakthrough!

But it's just a basic human way of being- that enables understanding, dignity, & inclusion. And our fast paced 'efficient' environment constantly stifles it.

Time & time again I see the negative impact of forcing things - forcing people - when they're not ready. And in contrast, I see the ease of giving things time to unfold naturally.

When are we gonna see how the relentless pressure on pace, & packing our schedules, is making us miserable & stressed?

A young deer sits asleep in a pile of autumn leaves, watched over by a blackbird. The text above the deer reads: Decision fatigue is perfectly normal when we’re grieving.

We make 35,000 decisions every single day ‼️

After Steve died, I was shattered and all that thinky time made my brain want to explode 🤯

For anyone grieving, try to create routines and habits that give your mind a break for a moment 💛

We do what we can, with the circumstances we are given. And it is enough.

Allowing ICE in hospitals is a public health catastrophe in the making Allowing ICE to conduct raids in hospitals and medical clinics is not only cruel; it is a public health catastrophe in the making, writes Eric Reinhart.

As doctors and nurses, it is our moral duty to care for every person who walks through the door & needs medical help. Allowing ICE to raid hospitals & clinics is immoral and will lead to needless suffering & death. Reading this made me cry...what nation have we become? #medsky

Focusing too narrowly on NHS productivity only adds to a sense of slog & like being worked into the ground is our goal.

But supporting creativity, learning, trying new ways, even just having time to think or catch up with a colleague- these all matter in creating conditions for decent patient care.

Love this. 😻

If You Interact with ICE Agents at Work: Ask if you are free to leave. If so, you may calmly walk out. You have the right to refuse consent to a search. You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone, such as about where you were born, whether you are a citizen, or how you entered the country. If you have valid immigration documents, you should show them. Never provide fake documents. If you are arrested, say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer. You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere.

If ICE Agents Show Up at Your Door You do not have to open the door. If you do, stay calm – you have rights. Ask what they are there for (and ask for an interpreter if you need one). If they ask to enter, ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge and if so, ask to see it (through a window or slipped under the door). If they do not have a warrant signed by a judge, you may refuse to let them in. Ask them to leave any information at your door. If they force their way in, do not resist. Tell everyone in the residence to remain silent. If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent. Do not sign anything until you speak with a lawyer.

Si Agentes del ICE Llegan a Tu Lugar de Trabajo Pregunte si puedes marcharse. De ser así, salga tranquilamente. Tú tienes derecho a no prestar consentimiento a una búsqueda. Diga en voz alta que no consientes a que registren tus pertenencias. Tú tienes derecho a guardar silencio. No tienes que discutir tu estatus migratorio con nadie, ni dónde naciste, ni si eres ciudadano, ni cómo entraste al país. Si tienes documentos de inmigración válidos, deberías mostrarlos. Nunca presente documentos falsos. Si eres arrestado, diga que quieres permanecer en silencio hasta que hables con un abogado. Tú tienes el derecho a grabar su interacción con los agentes de inmigración, siempre y cuando no interfiera.

Si Agentes del ICE Llegan a Tu Puerta No abras la puerta, pero mantén la calma. Tú tienes derechos. Pregunta para qué están ahí (y solicita un intérprete si necesitas uno). Si piden entrar a tu casa, pregúntales si tienen una orden firmada por un juez y si la tienen, diles que te la muestren (por la ventana o que la pasen por debajo de la puerta). Si ellos no tienen una orden firmada por un juez, puedes negarte dejarlos entrar. Pídeles que dejen cualquier información en tu puerta. Si entran a la fuerza, no te resistas. Dile a todos que estén en la casa que permanezcan en silencio. Si eres arrestado, permanece en silencio y no firmes nada hasta que hables con un abogado.

Regardless of your immigration status in the U.S., you have guaranteed rights under the Constitution. Know your rights and assert them.

Independientemente de su estatus migratorio en los Estados Unidos, usted tiene derechos garantizados por la Constitución. Conozca sus derechos y hágalos valer.

Research shows for employees, “feeling respected” is 17.9 X more powerful a predictor of an organisation’s culture score than the average factor (& 2 X as strong as the 2nd most important factor, supportive leadership). Advice for leaders:

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
