Nobody during the ICE hearing thus far has mentioned what ICE soldiers are doing inside our Minnesota hospitals. They’ve been, and continue to, impede and obstruct medical care (a felony); refuse to leave ER bays and ICU rooms, violating federal HIPAA law (a felony); and intimidate doctors. #medsky

Rick Painter & Tom Sullivan on rights.
“When a president is immune from criminal prosecution, his subordinates, ranging from the Secretary of Homeland Security to the ICE agents on the streets of Minneapolis, think that immunity also flows through to them…”

The hearing pivots to how to protect ICE soldiers and DHS appointees. Remember, this is a felony. Impeding and obstructing medical care is a felony. #ICE #Violence #Men #DomesticMilitarization #PerpetualWarfare

Any CEO who has employees who have seen an 8,000% doxxing rate increase since January 1st might want to stop and ask: Why?

Lyons just perjured himself during the ICE hearing and it’s just getting started. #YesMen #Yessir #1933 #ICE #EmptyShirt Where’s Kristi Noem and Lewie?

Men. Men. Men. ✔️✔️✔️ Who will break the cycle of male-dominated governance, policy and violence? Who will stop Stephen Miller and the Trump family?

R U living your values? Men, it might be the right time to check in with your sons about behavioural 🚴🏻health, sexual health and nonviolence. Lots of great resources out there now to reframe and rethink old patterns to break the cycle of violence that Melania calls “…dis and dat.”

As we breathe, eat and drink cancer, the Party of Trump—and select Dems—continue to politicise health, healthcare and Public Health. But don’t drop my kid into that mine; don’t build that data center by my family’s water; and don’t put that BP refinery near my kids. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/c...
