Why? Because they can. Because the scum of society are doing the Gestapo thing announced by Trump to do “god’s” aka white supremacist thugs.

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

After ABC’s George Stephanopoulos wiped the floor with creepy racist scumbag JD Vance in an awkwardly tense exchange yesterday, George cut Vance off as he was speaking his disrespectful stupid and sent the program to commercial break thus ending the interview abruptly. Love it.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.
