Recent reporting alleges that civilian men are impersonating ICE agents to kidnap and sexually assault immigrant women, with cases in North Carolina and New York.

Unmasking ICE agents is important, but it’s a Band-Aid on a broader, systemic crisis. Read @kylietcheung.bsky.social's full Op-Ed ⤵️
How ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women
"This phenomenon is only possible because of the outsized power that state agents have always had to abuse and control women and victims' bodies," argues Kylie Cheung.

If you’re wondering how much of what RFK Jr said yesterday about vaccines was true—almost none of it was.

@FullerLab_UW is one of the most accomplished vaccinologists out there and her article is required reading to separate truth from falsehoods.

It’s a test run to denaturalize all immigrants of color, or those who don’t fall in line. Mark my words…
That an elected Republican can — without consequence — call for denaturalization of an immigrant citizen for winning a political race shows how deep into immorality political discourse in the US has been dragged.

We are dealing with evil men. Comparisons to 1930s Germany can no longer be denied.

Under Trump, hospitals aren’t sacred, but golf clubs are. If you're undocumented and mopping floors at Mar-a-Lago, you’re fine. But if you're saving lives in an ER, ICE might be waiting outside. This isn’t policy. It’s cruelty on a loyalty test. thehill.com/policy/healt...
