ICE is directly interfering with medical care in hospitals and clinics nationwide

Nearly 40 have died, with critical meds and care being withheld

That’s not justice, it’s inhumanity

Thankfully @gavinnewsom.bsky.social is taking the lead in safeguarding patient care.

The latest addition to this saga is that the White House has said that 6'9" Barron Trump is "too tall to serve in the military." That's evidently their modern equivalent of Trump's bogus bone spurs story. David Robinson is 7' tall and put his lucrative NBA career on hold to serve in the Navy.

Reminder:

A drunk from Fox News is heading the DOD. An ex-heroin addict who snorted cocaine off of toilet seats is running the HHS . A puppy killer who’s having an affair on her private sex-jet is running DHS. And they all report to a 34count convicted felon who’s accused of raping children.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but South Koreans took 6 hours to stop their insurrection, 10 days to impeach the president behind it, and just 6 weeks to convict him.

He was sentenced to life in prison 2 weeks ago. Their country's stock market shot up 10%.

"Billionaires are why we have tech and jobs!" Wrong. Publicly-funded R&D is. Stop worshipping billionaires for what teachers, scientists, and taxpayers made possible.

There is no acceptable reason for this, and arguably none that isn't outright sinister.

Reagan appointed judge: "If nobody’s going to enforce the Constitution, it becomes like the Constitution of Russia."

Genuine conservatives within the judiciary stand as one of the final bulwarks against authoritarian rule in America.
