The Underground Railroad was also illegal. But we obviously celebrate it today.
You uh....sure about that?
It's not that long ago that "the War of Northern Aggression" was a thing, and there's plenty of people alive that physically fought against the Civil Rights Movement. We aren't nearly far enough away from slavery for me to give The South the benefit of the doubt.
Despite what you hear, in your own specific town, in your own specific school, you are a sample size of one - You can't just blanket claim that the American south has meaningfully progressed on behalf of all the fervent majority trump supporting states.
Also, "taught... In a positive way" is an extremely subjective assessment considering both the content itself and your recalling it from long memory. Many of us also thought we had the real version or the "right" version until we tried to actively learn the objective truth.
Cool. Start acting like it
In America? Yes.
The Nazi's haven't won yet, they're just trying right now.
Even before this, slaves were literally considered the property of the slave owner, so yes they considered it illegal to "take away their property"
Maybe visit soon while you still have a chance.
Only partly joking. Wouldn't surprise me one single bit.
"What are you in for?"
"Human decency and compassion"
"Yeah, that'll do it"
First time?
Ann Arbor is a generally considered a progressive college town. Odds are likely many locals have her back
Legal support, sure. But in addition to being prosecuted, she was also fired:
Trinity Health fired Freeman and has refused to make any public statement on the events of May 28. [...] This non-profit is the sixth largest U.S. hospital system, with 125,000 employees, and one of several Catholic Church affiliated systems that operate dozens of hospitals across broad swathes of the country.
So this aspect isn’t just legal, or local.
To be fair, the health system is as criminal and malevolent as ICE.
Having previously worked for the "Catholic" hospital system Ascension, FUCK Catholic hospital systems. We used to be a local system (several hospitals in one city) that provided top-notch, academic, and ethical care. The nuns would walk around and hold motherfuckers accountable. I watched everything degrade quickly after Ascension took over. The nuns left, and slowly everyone in leadership, who used to be experienced doctors, nurses, and social workers, were replaced by people whose only experience was in business.
We need more people like Chloe Freeman.
Freeman’s employer did not see it this way. When police questioned her (thus collaborating with ICE), she openly said that she disagreed with ICE separating immigrants from their families. Trinity Health fired Freeman and has refused to make any public statement on the events of May 28. It is criminal that this and other hospital systems allow ICE and CBP agents to enter medical buildings.

The problem is that it's actually, literally criminal for them to deny entrance to the pigs.
Ohh! I love it when we LARP that we have some sort of legitimate legal / justice system!
We have an enforcement arm for the parasitic pedophile rapist class.
I'm an anarchist, brainlet, I just think it's embarrassing to try and get mad at the hospital about it.
You're just flat wrong though - the police do not have the right to enter a hospital beyond the public sections (generally, the waiting rooms) without a warrant or permission from the hospital. The hospital in this case gave the police that permission, and unless a statute exists in Michigan specifically allowing this (if one exists I haven't found it), they are absolutely at fault for doing so.
Missed the point, friend
disagree, its actually literally not criminal. They dont get to just barge onto private property and do whatever they want. They need a warrant. And no one is required to help them in any way. Their mission is their problem, not anyone elses in a private healthcare setting. They can wait in the waiting room with their thumbs up their asses like everyone else.
This is a catholic hospital. Shame on the catholic church for collaborating with fascism. again.
Be gay do crimes then.
The President is literally a criminal.
Oh joy, now we're criminally charging people for being...checks notes good people.

She is now permanently on the right side of history with women like Irena Sendler, Corrie Ten Boom and many others who resisted nazis to help save people.
Yeah, I just hope she's not harshly punished for it.
She probably will be. They want people to be too afraid to help each other.

Questioned by the police? It's time to shut the fuck up
Good on her though
Yea, you can't continue to defy them if you tell them you're doing it.
Hopefully there's at least one person on the jury who knows about jury nullification
Almost as hot as Luigi
I don't know. I heard of several nurses who didn't believe in masks or vaccines in and around 2020. Demoralizing, for sure.
My wife is in healthcare. Met many nurses. In my experience the most batshit crazy people in healthcare are psych workers, nurses and certain types of specialists eg ENT or orthopaedic.
Edit: batshit crazy in a good way, generally.
And the more specialized their nursing expertise, the crazier. Wound nurses are insane.
And God forbid you come across one that's also a horse girl.
Oh god no. I know many amazing nurses, but there are just as many fucking terrible nurses. The older nurses I've worked with are significantly more likely to not give a fuck about their patients or colleagues, and also be extremely judgemental. This is a generalization, but based on my experience.
It's not the public's job to aid in the arrest of people.
That's a fucking hero if i've ever heard of one.
Legend.
doing her duty saving lives.
She better be getting the best legal representation possible.

That's courage, the magas and ice are cowards. Weak people who hide behind masks and cause suffering in the world. Courage wins over the cowards.
Never really donated to a GoFundMe, so don't know how to verify if legit
Heroes don't wear capes. They're just like all of us, but they one day... They decide to be better.
On September 29, federal prosecutor Jerome Morgan, assisted by FBI agent Jennifer Runyan, publicly charged a Michigan nurse with assisting the escape of a man held by ICE from a hospital.
That sure is a guy with a name and probably address.
There are real heroes. You should stay where you are. I think. I don't know.
Do no harm. Do know harm.
Seriously? The identity him as O B P?
These fuckers.
It's not worth it to catch a charge over "fighting" the government. Gen z and millennials really are hell bent on ruining their lives over activism.
That's a weird way to say "I'm weak and can't understand people doing the right thing"
How does the leather taste today?
Lemmy is not for you.
