Falsifying arrest reports/entering homes w/o warrants? Arresting US citizens? Using physical violence/threats? Racially profiling or retaliating against activists? Ignoring judicial orders or deporting people during pending appeals?

More CDC Cuts :: NCHS Edition 📊🔫

At least 1/3 of the staff at the National Center for Health Statistics has been cut (and remain cut). This is catastrophic for our nation’s health data.

Say goodbye to national health statistics that you can trust, healthcare surveys, NHANES and data systems.

The last thing the GOP did in relation to health care was to cut Medicaid deeply

They have offered ZERO policies to "fix health care"

But now that their original ridiculous talking points failed, they want us all to believe they care deeply about "fixing" health care

A lot of people have asked about the
book I was working on. The truth is, I lost
it when my friend who was helping me
write it passed away. I didn’t know how
to talk about it until now. It still hurts,
but I appreciate everyone who believed
in it. Maybe one day I’ll try again. 😊

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Federal immigration operations target San Diego neighborhoods, sparking community resistance

Federal immigration agents conducted operations in Logan Heights and Southeast San Diego on Friday, with community members capturing footage of the enforcement actions.

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.
