People can be mad that Providence is a Catholic medical system and I'm not even gonna say they're wrong to be mad about it.
But also: in a lot of Western Washington, Providence is the only medical provider accepting Medicaid payments. Providence having to downsize is going to hurt the poor. A lot.

As a direct result of President Trump's Big Ugly Bill, almost 300 jobs will be cut from Providence Swedish's First Hill, Cherry Hill, Ballard, and Issaquah hospitals and clinics. These are not the only layoffs we've seen in our health care system in Washington state in recent months.

Corrupt Trump has intentionally left the Federal Election Commission toothless for more than 200 days because he wants an FEC that looks the other way while he, his party, and their billionaire donors break the law to keep themselves in power.
The FEC Has Effectively Been Shut Down for More Than 200 Days
Ahead of the 2026 midterms, concerns are growing across the political spectrum about the agency’s inability to investigate complaints, answer legal questions or even schedule meetings.

There are folks I know who are not leaving home unless they absolutely have to because they are afraid they will be attacked by ICE agents. Why are they afraid if they're not breaking any laws? Because they aren't white.

Does this resemble any dignified method you know of for carrying a person who uses a wheelchair? Because it doesn’t resemble at all what we learned in flight attendant training and looks really uncomfortable.

Their advice is also dangerously wrong! When one group of people must carry papers on them to avoid government kidnapping and disappearing, that means *all* people must carry such papers on them. How else can you show the government you're not someone they should kidnap and disappear?
Email just went out on my campus that the Immigration Goons ("federal immigration agents") will be in town (Raleigh).
Inter alia, it says,"International students, faculty and staff should carry evidence of their immigration status with them at all times."
The fuck kind of country are we living in?

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.
