The administration is trying to normalize using ICE as security and citizen law enforcement which is against the law. Taking ice to the Olympics is an affront to every American, our laws, and the world. Vance using ICE as personal security is the same.

If you hear someone saying that they hope lawyers are ready to go to court to protect free and fair elections, I suggest you let them know that my law firm is already litigating more than 80 voting and election cases in 40 states.

Trump referring to the first Black President and First Lady in the history of the USA as apes is not a distraction. It is a major news story once again emphasizing how fundamental racism is to this administration and the Republican Party and conservative movement.

This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year.
She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again.
Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/

A reminder that when politicians and the news media says “let’s move on to things people care about” with regards to Trump’s late-night truths, what they are really saying is “no one cares about racism”. This is a message that must be vehemently countered.

So, each episode of #ThePitt is one hour in a shift in the ER of a teaching hospital. It’s a show about the labor of healing amidst crisis. It’s intense, stressful and — I think — important.
