#ICE appears to be doing bad things on our streets. Like running this man over. And I don’t care if he has medical insurance. If indeed the Gov ran over this man over they should get him medical care ASAP and pay for it, and prove it. 👇
You can hear Jose scream in excruciating pain as an ICE vehicle runs over his foot while he's being detained.

His family says Jose is a good man, with no criminal record, who works in roofing.

He needs to be released from detention to receive appropriate medical care.

The hard truth is that right now, our Secretary of Health is one of our nation’s biggest health threats and largest sources of health disinformation.

Realistically, we need RFK Jr. to be FIRED. At a minimum, he needs to answer to Congress for his attacks on public health.
Under RFK Jr., the CDC provides a megaphone to the anti-vaccine movement
Common anti-vaccine talking points were on display as the CDC’s immunization advisers repealed a hepatitis B birth vaccine recommendation and scrutinized the childhood schedule.

Favorite #FilmNoir featuring a boat, Day 25 #NoirvemberChallenge

Thought about NIAGARA, THE LADY FROM SHANGHAI, etc. but picked KEY LARGO. I like the setting, Bogart & Bacall, add in Claire Trevor, and the boat named the Santana.

The President using his platform to lift up people calling for political violence is twisted, dangerous stuff.

There is NO room in our democracy for political violence—and every single Senator should join me in saying Trump's behavior is completely unacceptable.
