Everybody just stood around talking for a little while. I sat near a Filipina nurse who said her father is a huge Trumper. She's trying to get him to realize that ICE doesn't care if a nonwhite person supports Trump. I offered her my deepest sympathies. All this shit we're going through, man, at least I don't have any Trumpers in my family. My heart goes out to all who do.
First we heard from nursing leadership about #ICE and #Palantir in hospitals and cuts to #Medicaid.

We all knew about those issues, but it certainly got us riled up. A few hundred people who care deeply about healthcare can make a lot of noise. Fortunately, traffic and the neighbors didn't seem anything less than fully supportive of the noise, because basically we're all screwed here. Then we had a local pro-immigrant group leader talk about the effect of DACA on nurses who are seeing colleagues threatened with deportation, or are threatened themselves.
