Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that all four people arrested today, including two journalists, were Black.
And now we find out the charge is “conspiracy to violate civil rights,” a statute rooted in the Ku Klux Klan Act.
Sit with that.

There's only a 10% reduction in mortality over 3 years!?!?!?! Who would want this!
@aafp.org AFP Journal published a non-sense editorial around BP management in primary care.
We wrote a letter to the editor that the journal opted not to publish. We are therefore publishing exclusively on Blue Sky.

Family physicians are among the top five specialties experiencing burnout. But burnout and depression can have similar symptoms, making it harder to identify the care you or your colleagues need. Learn more about identifying the signs: https://bit.ly/3NMH5dJ

This is a disgusting, amoral, murderous decision. It will have implications for generations of both human lives and scientific collaboration. 😔
And just like that, the US has left the World Health Organization.

The latter part of this tweet has gone under the radar but it's an alarming escalation. The Trump admin has already detained dozens of people with full refugee status, seemingly those who had not yet adjusted to green cards, and is detaining them in Texas and seeking to strip them of their status.
Update: Since Jan 9, there have been 12 ICE Air flights out of Minneapolis, MN—a jump from the typical 3 flights/week to Minneapolis. This surge is taking place as people with valid refugee status are being taken from their homes in MN & transferred to detention centers in TX.

People don't want to accept that the primary reason that we have Trump today is that the previous administration completely failed. It should have never gotten to the point where it was in the so-called hands of the voters. It was already too late by then.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

I've noticed that ICE agents keep yelling "18 USC § 111" at people filming them. I'd like to see the memo they all got on that talking point, and I'd like to know who sent it. Filming ICE or alerting your neighbors to their presence doesn't violate § 111.
