Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this.

The Trump/GOP math doesn’t math! Trump/GOP pay for their $ handouts to billionaires by making everything unaffordable for Americans! 22 million Americans will have their health care premium costs skyrocket through the roof as of January 1st due to Trump/Republicans refuse to extend ACA tax credits!

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

We can confirm that the agent who pulled his gun on unarmed citizens in Illinois is Timothy Donahue of Yuma, Arizona.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
