When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

The email we just got from the superintendent of the Seattle School District was pretty clear that they will not be following either the immigration or trans student EOs. Proud of you, SPS!
An email from the superintendent of the Seattle School District that reads: “4:18 < All Inboxes Reaffirming Our Commitment to SPS Students, Staff and Families Dear SPS Families and Staff, Seattle Public Schools (SPS) remains steadfast in our commitment to providing safe, welcoming, and inclusive learning environments for every student, regardless of race, religion, national origin, immigration status, gender identity, or sexual orientation. We have a constitutional obligation to educate all students. No matter where you're from, you are welcome here. We are keeping watch for new policies that may affect our district. As new orders are introduced, we will work to provide as much clarity, calm, and stability as we can. Some of our students and families are facing hardships on their path to educational justice and living freely. The recent announcement regarding the removal of protected areas and the possibility of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) entering schools to deport students is deeply troubling to our district and community.” (Continued in next screengrab) Continuation of the email: “4:18 < All Inboxes Reaffirming Our Co... School districts educate school-age residents regardless of the immigration status of the students or their families. To that end, state law directs school districts to limit immigration enforcement to the fullest extent possible consistent with federal and state law. SPS has adopted a procedure based on the Washington State Attorney General's Office model policy and procedure to apply to district interactions with federal immigration authorities. Read the Superintendent's Procedure on Limiting Immigration Enforcement In SPS, we respect every student's right to a safe school experience. We reaffirm that our schools are places of safety and belonging. We will not tolerate any action that disrupts our students' sense of security or their right to an equitable education. Furthermore, we stand firm in our commitment to protecting the rights of LGBTQIA+ students and staff, including nonbinary individuals. The district remains steadfast in its commitment to fostering…” (Continued in next screen grab) Continuation of email: “…an inclusive and supportive environment. Superintendent Procedure 3211 guides our district's unwavering support for gender-diverse students. We will continue to uphold these practices to ensure every student has access to the resources, support, and respect they deserve. We are currently reviewing our relevant policies and procedures with our legal team to ensure these policies continue to provide clear information for students, their families, and SPS staff. We will work alongside families, educators, and community partners to advocate for policies that protect our students and strengthen our commitment to their academic, social, and emotional well-being. SPS is a district that will continue to stand with every student and family, ensuring their rights are upheld and their voices are heard. In solidarity, Dr. Brent Jones Superintendent”

I do think “they are killing Americans” is better political messaging than “I am a DOGE Democrat”

NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

Alcohol is a leading cause of cancer and drinks should carry a warning label as cigarettes do, the U.S. surgeon general, Dr. Vivek Murthy, said Friday. His report cites studies linking alcoholic drinks to at least seven malignancies. But to add labels, Congress would have to act. nyti.ms/3BVTmHe

It’s never a good sign when I have an opportunity to post this exceptional public health graphic.

Even if you're not still masking:

Did you, or anyone you were hanging out with for the holidays, go to an airport?

Then for the next two weeks, you should consider yourself infectious and asymptomatic, and mask any time you're around people.

Two weeks - and you'll keep everyone you meet safe.

If you spent the holiday traveling, socializing etc with zero covid mitigations… You probably don’t have food poisoning. Or jet lag. Or allergies.

Covid is surging. RSV is too.

For the sake of everyone else - please stay home. If you can’t - wear a respirator.

A four-panel doodled black and white comic. In panel 1, a square character stands on a soapbox, raising their hand and holding a megaphone in the other. A text box comes out of the megaphone that reads “Community is all we have left!". A circle character wearing a face mask looks up at them from the ground below. In panel 2, square continues to stand on the soap box and yell through megaphone. Text from the megaphone reads "We have to step up for each other!". Masked circle continues to watch. In panel 3, square stops yelling and lowers the megaphone and looks down at circle with a blank expression. Circle raises up an extra face mask towards square. Text in the callout from circle reads "This means you'll mask again, right?". In the final panel, square continues to look down at circle with a blank expression, this time with a single sweat drop on their forehead. Circle continues to raise up a face mask towards square. Text in the callout from the circle reads “Right?”
