New reality: ICE agents are allowed to conduct raids in hospitals & clinics. ICE agents may pretend they're police to gain access to information or private spaces or lure people to public spaces, but they do not have the authority to do this or to bypass warrant requirements! Essential reading 👇🏾
Allowing ICE in hospitals is a public health catastrophe in the making
Allowing ICE to conduct raids in hospitals and medical clinics is not only cruel; it is a public health catastrophe in the making, writes Eric Reinhart.

A reminder that none of us are free until all of us are.
A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

As I watch people and organizations who have the power to resist fold, I keep thinking of the reflection from Helen Keller that "avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold."
While morally odious, cowardly, and textbook examples of getting divided-and-ruled... the deals being struck by unis and law firms don't seem on face particularly onerous. Is that the key here? Law elites and university presidents are like, "meh," even as they push the door open wider to autocracy?

A reminder that Bill Maher has long been an antivaxxer and AIDS denier and helped mainstream the “do your own research” culture now dismantling public health.
He is also a good friend of RFK Jr.
It’s time for the media to stop giving him a platform.

Why Is CNN Platforming Notorious Anti-Vaxxer Bill Maher?
In a desperate play for relevance, the flailing cable news network gave the neo-luddite comic a primetime slot. That’s a mistake for “the most trusted name in news.”
