In Illinois, ICE agents have been documented swapping license plates to hide their identity. Under Illinois law, this constitutes a Class A misdemeanor.

The state has made clear that this law will be enforced. Federal agents are not exempt from Illinois vehicle and registration statutes.

Day 17 of the ICE occupation of the Twin Cities.

Reminder in today’s weather that ICE agents (somewhat ironically) don’t know how to drive in our winter weather.

Be safe out there, and strong in community. We know that we will win.

I respectfully disagree with the jury’s verdict in the Judge Hannah Dugan case.

The trial evidence showed that Judge Dugan did not obstruct ICE agents from arresting an undocumented immigrant.

Let’s see what happens on appeal. Meanwhile, our support for Judge Dugan continues.

Super proud of @defendpublichealth.bsky.social filing an amicus brief in support of the lawsuit against RFK Jr. by five medical and public health organizations, including @apha.org, for his dismantling of science-based vaccine policy.

This man must be stopped.

Clear thinking encoded in clear writing gives a name and a shape to fuzzy experiences and feelings, making them being real and actionable.

Affordable Care Act subsidies are about to expire leaving millions unable to afford health insurance.

This is an excellent time to start wearing a mask.

Keeping yourself and your community healthy is an act of resistance.

Millions of people literally can’t afford to get sick.

ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security. It's a "papers-please" America where freedom is conditional and innocence comes last.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

Around 70% of COVID transmission also from schools. We urgently need clean air and are living with unnecessary infections.

No actually, children are not the primary drivers. It's not like they are stuck in unsafe, unventilated classrooms by choice.

Hello Bluesky family. I could use some advice from anyone that has experience with helping their adult children recover from trauma. I have suggested counseling of course. My daughter was impacted by a recent school shooting and is displaying serious signs of trauma. She is not physically injured. 😢

And many supporters of this travesty have the nerve to call themselves Christians!
What if one of the children being made semi-orphans or deported is the 2ND Coming of Christ?

At the very least blue mayors/govs need to fire & jail any cop cooperating with ICE!
