I will echo friends in saying on this National Coming Out Day: If you can’t come out safely, it’s okay not to. You’re still valid, and you still matter. Stay safe and our community will get through this looking out for each other. ✌🏻🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Did you know Nixon never served a day in prison because he was pardoned?
But his Attorney General did.
His Chief of Staff did.
His Domestic Affairs Adviser did.
His Special Counsel did.
His campaign chairman did.
Even members of his re-election committee did time.

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…

You know there are about a dozen despicable trash people in DHS and ICE and the administration working to find out who this guy is so they can go after him.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

Clever isn’t wise.

He’s one more dangerous white man who sees the rest of us as objects and slaves. He’s a sociopath.

Agree. Prof of internal medicine here. We don’t use ECG’s to make comments on physiologic age. Some PR idiot put this spin on the letter.

The cult is incapable of telling the truth.

I read EKGs. I used to do it for a living after a lot of classes and training and never once did I make a determination about the actual age of the patient, much less declare their cardiovascular vitality age, nor was anything like that taught in any of my classes or training.

You need to understand: this administration is not merely destroying access to treatments, but the possibility that they might exist at all.

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

Remember, decent people like us were traumatized seeing infants and children in cages forced to appear in court alone while separated from their parents.

America voted for a second, more violent and inhumane term.

America voted for this.

Stop pretending ICE just happened out of thin air.

Tens of millions of people have died from Covid.

Every country should have responded with record investments in public health infrastructure.

Instead the US government is putting us all at greater risk of more catastrophes by firing hundreds of top scientists whose job is to prevent outbreaks.

So now the Administration are saying that the mass firing of CDC scientists, including many responsible for preventing outbreaks, was an “error” and many will be brought back.

Whether by intention or incompetence, dismantling public health will kill people.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

ICE spent $800K on vans with stingray tech that collects data from all nearby phones, even yours. These devices mimic cell towers to track locations and intercept communications. Oversight and transparency are needed now.

What’s happening right now should terrify every American. We’re sliding toward empty shelves, broken systems, and a government run by chaos. This week on @meidastouch.com, I break down how close we really are and what we can do to stop it.

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!
