2/ While @ipaccanada.bsky.social & @cmadocs.bsky.social continue to cling to #DropletDogma, dismiss #COVID as a big nothing-burger, & call anyone who'd prefer to avoid it, "anxious". But a decade from now, everyone will say that they thought wearing #N95s & avoiding #Reinfections was a good idea.

#MedSky These things are noticed. Patients and colleagues may not confront you, because there are power imbalances and other factors… but they are noticed, and not in a good way. Please stay home when sick. Wear a properly fitted respirator at work. It’s the professional thing to do.

Sigh. Still with this? Biden-Harris could have abolished ICE, but instead they expanded ICE prisons. Harris ran on Trump being *too soft* on immigration. Harris could have ended a genocide *and* won the election.

Somali Business Owners Spearhead Minnesota Shutdown Against ICE - PopularResistance.Org
“We are not backing down. We’re here to stay and we’re here to fight,” said Kadija, a Somali small business owner in Minneapolis. Kadija is one of hundreds of small business owners participating in what is rapidly developing into a historic, multi-sector general strike in Minnesota on January 23. Zahra Abdullah, owner of the Somaliweyn Community Center in Minneapolis, told Peoples Dispatch that her community is fully committed to driving Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) out of the state. “We just want to get in the fight and keep fighting and send a message that we are not afraid,” Abdullah said.

At this moment in history, when the Trump admin is trying to cynically divide certain Jews as "good refugees" from other "bad refugees," it's worth remembering that the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting was caused by the synagogue's work for HIAS. It was both an antisemitic and anti-immigrant attack.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)
From Senator Chris McDaniel: “Lately, some folks have taken to calling ICE “the Gestapo.”  It sounds fierce.  It feels righteous.  But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless.

The Gestapo was a secret police force.  No warrants.  No courts.  No lawyers.  And no appeals.  People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything.  The knock on the door was the sentence.

ICE isn’t that.  Not even close.

ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials.  Its agents file reports.  They seek warrants.  They lose cases.  Judges stop them.  Lawyers challenge them.  Some detainees go home.  That’s not tyranny.  That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse.

You can hate immigration policy.  You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad.  You can work to have the law changed if you wish.  That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do.  

But when you call ordinary law enforcement “the Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil.  You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor.  And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize.

In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight.  This one hasn't yet.  It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses.

That difference matters.

Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history.  We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with.

And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”

Planning to take medicine to help you get through the workday tomorrow? If you’re not feeling well, some medicines might help you feel better but will not keep you from spreading illness to others! Continue to stay home and away from others as much as you can, and wear a mask if you have to go out.

Although this seems counterintuitive - it helps protect our population and healthcare providers in multiple ways

2) Patients can effectively be screened and managed out of hospital
