Doctors in Minnesota decry fear and chaos amid Trump administration's immigration crackdown Doctors say immigrant patients are missing key medical appointments, afraid to come to medical clinics amid the Trump administration’s sweeping Minnesota immigration crackdown.

People outside of Minnesota should know that a lot of ICE agents are harassing, assaulting, and abducting people in plainclothes and unmasked.

Plainclothes ICE agents are especially likely to be in places people visit out of necessity—like hospital lobbies.

RFK will be responsible for so many American deaths.

pure evil 💔

This woman has more courage than every member of the Democratic leadership caucuses in Washington combined. And there are tens of thousands of everyday people just like her who are finding courage to confront evil face to face while our "leaders" dither and argue over semantics.

Screenshot of tweet from Huberman that reads: “The other is that dog breeds w/different shaped heads are predictive of their demeanor and intelligence. And while I don’t! believe in Phrenology I now do pay some attention to how the shapes of peoples heads relates to their intellect and steadiness, or lack thereof.”

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

What Americans Lose If Their National Center for Atmospheric Research Is Dismantled - Eos Five ways dismantling NCAR will cost the American people, and two ways to save it.

That’s … a whole heap of nonsense right there. Wow.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

Unlike Andy, my name doesn't appear in the DOE Climate Working Group dump. But here are some things I found interesting:

Some right-on comments from @bobkopp.net about the CWG email dump.

The thing about America today is that if you just describe what is happening objectively and unemotionally you sound hysterical and partisan and what you have to remind people is that the reason for that is not you, it's the people doing the things you are describing

Wish there were @nytpitchbot.bsky.social equivalent for the @washingtonpost.com

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.

Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

It’s got to be a choice to be this willfully stupid in public. Right?

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

I love this!

Tell us about the music. And the secret third thing!

This is utter nonsense.

Good

I am not being gloomy! I am correctly understanding what is happening!! (not directed at @ketanjoshi.co obv)

A timely reminder from Clayton Weimers of Reporters Without Borders USA: "Journalists are legally permitted to publish government secrets and the courts have again and again reaffirmed that First Amendment right."

Following David's lead, I also posted on FB and was surprised by the positive response. Spread the word about what's happening here. People want to know.

i stand with hannah natanson of the washington post and you should too

begging and pleading for bluesky to give a shit about what’s happening to hannah natanson

I am The Post’s ‘federal government whisperer.’ It’s been brutal. One reporter’s effort to show how Trump was transforming government brought her 1,168 new sources — and nearly broke her.

This is an article WaPo reporter Hannah Natanson wrote 3 weeks ago about her work. Her home was just raided by the FBI.
