Feeling frazzled and need a script to call your reps?
This made it super, super easy.
Do it. Call your reps. The DHS bill is now coupled with many other bills, and they are making it really difficult to defund ICE. Ask for a standalone DHS bill!
Defund ICE and demand accountability!

Immigration Enforcement Guidance for Health Centers | American Civil Liberties Union
For healthcare providersβ¦what if ICE shows up?
Check with your healthcare organizationβs plans. They will have one.
You CANNOT break HIPAA laws. Patient privacy rights rule!
But you also cannot bar ICE from entering public areas of a healthcare facility.

Update: In the evidence preservation lawsuit, the current Civil Chief at the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office (who appears to be Ana Voss, based on the letter), refused to accept email service of the lawsuit last night and then refused to accept in-person service until Monday.
Ridiculous behavior.

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration.
Congress can:
- Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage)
- Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes
- Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same
- Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction
It can be done.

RFK Jr. rejects cornerstone of health science: Germ theory
In his 2021 book vilifying Anthony Fauci, RFK Jr. lays out support for an alternate theory.
RFK doesn't understand or stand by germ theory and gets the out-dated miasma theory wrong.
Of course.
He is so entrenched in his own myths, it's mind-boggling.

I was listening to Joe Hill on the @ukpageone.bsky.social podcast today, and the way he described simply reading as an act of rebellion really struck me. I was thinking how vital it is we fight for our art going forward (creation = rebellion) and that doing something NEW for yourself is the same.

How Rob Reiner became anti-Prop. 8 kingpin
Rob Reiner reflects on the critical role he played in getting California's gay marriage ban overturned.
As we mourn Rob Reiner, donβt skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning Californiaβs Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.
