I keep trying to interest providers in a billing strike (yes I know this isn't how organizing works, so sue me), but maybe we can get one started soon

because all medical centers care about, you know the ones who don't oppose ICE, is money

This feels like the very least Democrats should be rallying around?

Opinion | Senator Tina Smith: I Won’t Vote to Fund ICE Until It Gets Out of My State Minnesotans have stood up for common decency and our founding principles.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“We need to rip ICE down to the studs and start over,” Senator Tina Smith of Minnesota writes. “In the wake of this catastrophe, there is no reason we can’t come up with a way of enforcing our laws that doesn’t trample on our values and our Constitution.”

where are the poll guys now? surely the massive show of popular support will force them to shift position on this, yes?

not even demands to get members of congress access to the concentration camps.

not even demands for oversight, medical care, decent food.

not even a little demand to give Liam his bunny hat and Spidey backpack back.

just bodycams.

@aafp.org AFP Journal published a non-sense editorial around BP management in primary care.

We wrote a letter to the editor that the journal opted not to publish. We are therefore publishing exclusively on Blue Sky.

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:

1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens

2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar

3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

If what ends up happening is MN officials agree to aggressive 287(g) or other cooperation agreements to stop the occupation, that is a terrible Faustian bargain that is closer to total loss than any kind of victory. It sets the precedent that the feds can force your city to play ball at gunpoint

IDF accepts Gaza Health Ministry death toll of over 71,000 Palestinians killed in the war Although Many International Experts Have Accepted the Health Ministry's Data as Reliable, and Even Conservative Relative to the True Death Toll, Israel Had Refused to Accept the Health Ministry's Coun...

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable.

Biden himself said they were fabricated!

New: Washington Co. officials say there is nothing they can do to stop the federal government from building a sprawling immigration detention facility in Western Maryland. It could provide ICE with a long-desired foothold in the region to surge the area w/ arrests. www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

I will believe that ICE enforcement has changed on the ground when I stop getting daily notices that armed, masked goons are circling my kids’ schools and trying to sow fear in the parent patrols.

I forgot that a post like this would summon the antisemites *and* those who equate criticism of Israel with antisemitism. It's like the Batsignal but.... bad?

Some of it, sure, but you don't seem to be able to move off the generalizations. That's why what you're saying isn't useful.

I will live to see the end of the democratic party.

I will live to see war tribunals of the GOP.

I will live to see the abolishment of DHS, ICE, Police, and mass incarceration.
