So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away.
Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.
I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.
ICE isn’t making rare mistakes. This is the point.
When an agency can grab people first and sort out rights later, if they bother at all, everyone is at risk. Citizen or not.
It will become increasingly important for people to take video and protect and save that video so that when there is finally an accounting for what’s happening, there will be evidence.
ICE and Border Patrol agents must be reined in. Here is one thing we can do right now. Please read and share. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/americas-gestapo
Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents.
Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center.
Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.
At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.
That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.
Our allies are literally doing troop buildups against us
Putin is loving this
Nope, because they're too busy sucking down that orange Kool-Aid, straight from the man-boobs of their Fluorescent Fuhrer.
Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities
This is exactly the opposite.
Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.
Enshittification on the loose ...
BREAKING: Medical examiner says death of ICE detainee was a HOMICIDE - a witness says he was choked to death by GUARDS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
“Lifeless… foam around his mouth. Nobody wants to see their kids like that.”
ICE attacked a family trying to LEAVE the besieged neighborhood and hospitalized a 6 month old baby that couldn’t breathe.
Is administration is full of ignorant liars.
The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.
My eyes and followback finger are sore LOL ... Gonna take a couple hours off, but I'll be back to catch up then. Thanks to all my new followers, I appreciate the absolute 💩💩 out of you! 😜🥰😂 #BlueCrew #NoDemUnder5k
If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.
We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵
What’s remaining at Twitter really is the worst, social arsonists and bootlickers for the wealthy bordering on sociopathy.
Biden’s $2000 cap on drug costs for Medicare recipients goes into effect in 2025.
Random thoughts
In the 1700s, lobsters were so abundant along the Massachusetts coast that they would wash ashore in piles up to two feet high.
These crustaceans were considered the “poor man’s chicken” and were primarily used as fertilizer or fed to prisoners, slaves, and indentured servants.
Not a drag queen.
Women are dying.
Women in America are DYING.
Pregnant women in America are dying after being denied critical abortion care to save their lives.
Further, barbaric Republican policies restricting or banning abortion are disproportionately taking the lives of women of color.
Black women are…
Whoopsie!

As a sociologist (whose name I cannot recall) said back in the 1990s about the future
"The rich will get richer, the poor will get poorer, and the ground in between will become more violent"
EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR THIS!
Women NATIONWIDE can still receive safe, effective and affordable medication abortion services via the #ASafeChoice Network of physicians.
Let's make this viral.
