ICE has its own Health Services Corps, which it operates in 17 large detention centers, but an increasingly large majority of people are held in private detention centers where the healthcare is operated by contractor or subcontractor, where ICE basically just manages the insurance claims.

Once again a reminder: We can have trans rights, bodily autonomy, gender nonconformity, and freedom of expression, or we can have none of these things.
There’s no third option.

In addition to this administration trying to kill kids, and they're also coming for our binders? OUR BINDERS.

For folks curious re the news re gender affirming care for trans youth I wrote a quick summary in the BDNH newsletter
It’s NOT a national ban.
it creates no new civil or criminal penalties, it is a proposal to wield the power of the purse to discriminatorily deny care

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia.
It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

Very few law profs believe that anyone in the administration cares that we think it routinely breaks the law. Many of us hope that other people care or can be persuaded to care about that.
NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.
So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

On Monday, ICE agents violently restrained a woman in Minneapolis, dragging her in the snow and pinning her face down as onlookers shouted the woman was pregnant.
In response, one agent fired a taser into the crowd. “Who wants more?” he taunted, according to a WCCO reporter. trib.al/vdWc3qj

Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that I’ve been struggling and I’m glad I’m working to get help. I think a lot of us have built up a tolerance for suffering but what if we don’t have to suffer? What if life doesn’t have to feel like it’s killing us? If you have resources that can help, get help.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ahmad. Ahmad is a web programmer and designer. He is 23 and was starting his life but lost his laptop early in the war and then his home. He was shot while he was trying to get water for his family from a roof container and needs a surgery.

I cannot emphasize how serious an assault on democracy this is. Any effort by the Trump administration to engage in false claims of fraud or mass voter suppression relies on this as a building block. As importantly, there is no legitimate reason DOJ would want this information.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.
