All upper management and directors at Federal Agencies serve The Felon. If they violate that directive, they will be fired. The Felon and his ilk serve to spread fear and confusion through ICE. He issued today a freeze on hiring at the VA, and elimination of 100’s of thousands of jobs. The pushback was immediate and strong. The Felon walked some of the directive back. The DOJ paused all civil rights cases today. Fast, fierce pushback may work. Negotiation is a pipe dream.
Thanks for your precise, detailed and practical analysis. OMG please keep it coming on a regular basis!!!!
It is worth keeping in mind that during Trump I the MMWR was covertly edited and degraded for political purposes, Specifically I am referring to meat packing plants and COVID , This actually resulted in public harms and spread of disease,
In my 30yrs in the ED I don’t recall a single chart where I documented the pts immigration status- documented vs undocumented. Not sure how it’s relevant to their care. If it’s a reimbursement issue I defer and let someone downstream who’s smarter than me tackle that issue.
Thanks again for your voice and updates. On the ICE issue...I went to Senator Markey's webinar this week for updates on MA's response to the Trump administration. Strong words from our Attorney General and from the Executive Director of MIRA (Massachusetts Immigration and Refugee Advocacy Coalition). Anyone can go to MIRA's website to learn about our current legal rights immigrant or legal resident with ICE. They also have training sessions. https://miracoalition.org/our-work/education-training/ . Very concerned about upcoming likely confirmations of Kennedy for HHS dept head...hearing on Jan. 29, and Jay Bhattacharya, M.D., Ph.D. nominated for heading NIH. Bhattacharya has a very suspect wacky history with the Great Barrington Declaration, herd immunity/anti-vax and pro isolation of the immune-compromised. Bhattacharya also claimed that HIV was not the sole cause of AIDS.
I think you violated your Hippo-cratic oath.
I see you'd like to join me in whatever circle of humor hell I just created :)
Ha Ha!

You should reinsert a poll asking how gosh darn cute that Hippo comment was. Thanks for the smile!

Correction, that was Robert Kennedy who claimed HIV was not the cause of AIDS.
Are we going to have to cross the border into Canada to get vaccinated? Sheesh!
Oh thank you so much for that story about the Franklin Zoo. What a treat!
Love the Hippo Joke!!!!! Thanks for the joke, made my day.
