Why Hospital Policies Matter in States That Ban Abortion Our first-of-its-kind data analysis found that a seismic split emerged in how medical institutions in Texas' two largest metro areas, Houston and Dallas, treated miscarrying patients β€” and in their ou...

The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion.

In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%.

In the number are 10 Nobel Laureates. In total, 23 Nobel Laureates have supported the articles of impeachment.

Wait! The public face of nationwide immigration enforcement, Gregory Bovino, said in a newly discovered email that his boss wasn’t the head of CBP. He reported to Corey Lewandowski instead.

He’s a political operative with zero law-enforcement background calling the shots on immigration enforcement.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

β€˜ICE conveyor belt’ illegally detaining, moving Minnesota children to Texas faster than courts can respond ICE is pulling Minnesota immigrant families with legal status out of their driveways, homes and school commutes and send

ICE is running a β€œconveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

Black quote graphic reading β€œThe entire encounter with ICE has left me traumatized.

C.C. is scared he’ll be separated from his daughter again because of ICE’s relentless enforcement machine in Minneapolis.

No one should have to fear being forcibly separated from their family by our government.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was β€œinvolved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a β€œriot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.

Trump’s Comply-Or-Die Policing Isn’t New What’s shocking is who’s getting shot

What’s unfolding in Minnesota didn’t come out of nowhere.

It’s tied to decades of allowing police violence against black and brown people to go unchecked.

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.

In 1964, the Civil Rights Act was passed to bar discrimination based on race. In 1973, Donald Trump & his father were sued by the DOJ for refusing to rent apartments to black people. Civil Rights came into being to stop racist assholes like the Trumps, not to discriminate against white people.
