It's a scandal the way children in desperate need of medical treatment are being abandoned by clinic after clinic. It is no less of a scandal than diabetic patients cut off from insulin or poor people turned away from ERs if they can't pay.
NYU Langone cuts off trans youth from treatment in the latest of a series of decisions by hospitals to abandon patients in need under pressure from Trump and the anti-trans right.
Only on Assigned: Lana Leonard spoke with families whose childrens' treatments were cut off.

All of my group chats are responding to Homan’s announcement by asking everyone to double down because:
1. ICE is still out there and abducting people today. We can’t trust the occupation is over until we actually see it.
2. People are going to be in an economic crisis for a very long time.

Y'all, ICE thugs are still terrorizing people in Minneapolis and St. Paul.
They are counting on America looking away, and it's currently working. Please tell everyone you know, please reach out to people with huge followings, and ask them to help refocus our attention on the ongoing abuses.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

There just is not protest right now, other than at Whipple, and the goal of that is still to find ways to waste the feds’ time and identify them, so it is still in service to resistance. I don’t think people get how much solidarity has been built and how EVERYONE is in this fight.
I think it still hasn’t really sunk in for a lot of us that Minnesotans have moved from mass protest to mass resistance.
