Blocking ICE funding, even if it causes a government shut down, is the right action to take.
And, at least, should show that Democrats in Congress can do more than sit on their hands as Trump, and the Republican Party, try to burn the country down.
The attack on Rep. Frost is unacceptable, as are the attacks and murders going on in MN and all over. So why is Congress supporting the unlawful thuggery being practiced by ICE? We are watching and we will continue to stand up and speak up.
Alex Pretti. Nurses have to be their own family in some ways. Some days the mental load we must carry is more than we can do alone. For many of us, we have been helpers out of the womb. We do much of the work others just cannot do. We are ok with that. Alex was a helper. He took his last breath trying to help a lady. May our leaders take the example of Alex to remember their goal and mission should be that of HELPING the American people. Please HELP us save our democracy like Alex was trying to do. Please stop turning your backs on us. If you were in our ER or ICU or hospice, we would NEVER do that to you, no matter who you were. We would make damn sure you were comfortable and care for your every need with impeccable detail and precision-doing the work most cannot. All of this for a menial pay. Here you are leaders of the government worried about how to maintain your millionaire status all at the expense of our democracy. You know who you are and if this applies to you shame on you. Think about this deeply because there will be a day in your life when you, or someone you love, will need the care of a good nurse in the ER or ICU or hospice. All your damn money will not mean a thing on that day but your care from that nurse will mean a lot. Our democracy is in the ICU. Alex was trying to save it. We are doing our best to try to save ourselves because many of YOU, our leaders, are feckless. We as nurses think we can do anything. That's what makes us courageous to face whatever is thrown at us and figure it out.
No matter what your political party, we should ALL be banding together to SAVE THIS DEMOCRACY. At some point, the ONLY thing that matters is doing the right thing. When you come into my hospice, ER or ICU, your party affiliation is irrelevant. I am going to care for you with all my heart, the best I know how. Leaders-please stand up to all this evil shitstorm and do the right things. Be courageous. Have integrity. Tell the truth. Stand up to intimidation. Call out evil. Stop cruelty. Be creative. Act NOW. Collectively, y'all can shut this shit down. This is inexcusable. I would NEVER allow this abhorrent behavior in my ER or ICU or hospice.
It is not too late. The nurses like Alex perform miracles in ICUs everyday. You, our leaders, can perform a miracle for our nation by standing up for what is right. You MUST do it now before our country is just a flatline without a pulse.
Love Maxwell Frost and so glad the violent perpetrator is locked up. There should not be any bail for such an individual. If let free, the next time he could choose more lethal assault means.
Trump's administration is at fault for what is happening in our communities and country. He has made racism a tool. Bondi saying she will call off the Ice thugs in Minn. if they turn over Voter registration records is a bribe and shows it's not about Immigrants, it's about power. Hypocrisy at it's best, probably criminal also.
I am emailing all of my congress representatives to not increase funding for ICE.
"PLEASE, do not give ICE more money!! They are becoming more of a problem than the illegals. They have shorten their training and no longer have the same requirements to join. Who know who is becoming members as they are not doing any investigating into the ICE men who have killed US citizens. They are such a blemish on our country!!"
I am trying not to be to confrontational, but doubt that they will listen to my pleas...
If their jobs are in risk they may get a spine! Use 5 calls or resitbot and. Call all repubs and all Seven of those dems who voted to fund the slave catchers!
Every day it just gets worse. How many people have to die? Innocent people PEACEFULLY PROTESTING the madness, facisousness that sits in his golden office torturing whomever he wants??
We have to hope, but we cannot realistically expect those elected people who have dug their heels in to support Mr T. to change their behavior. Yes, they should be ashamed of their abandonment of their oath of office. Yes, they should be sickened by the way they have trashed moral standards that guided earlier administrations…that guide decent humans everywhere. But will they look themselves in the mirror and see this? Is it still possible? I’m doubtful…but hopeful.

ICE out Frost In!!
Clever!
I can't ignore the irony -- Frost's attacker's name is Christian. But I guess that's just a name, not a description.
Yeah, you can't make this stuff up!
Sadly, the murderers and criminals will probably be pardoned if the are convicted by the judicial system.
Which is why there needs to be state prosecution!
Stay safe and have a body guard. The Reps will do "anything" to win.
Pray for a non-violent primary this fall, then we'll see who's left standing.

I am so sorry to hear this. Maxwell I hope you are okay. God bless you for all you are doing for your constituents.
