During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Yup. Clearly dementia as it is genetic. The symptoms of congestive heart failure are beyond obvious. FIL died of it. My own father did too. Seen similar symptoms on them. I think most now know this administration is all lies

Why leery? First off the so-called president is in fact the same name of an author whose book is part of a book club at the ‘real’ bookstore in NY.

They’re ‘offering’ to spotlight my book but at a cost. Why am I not surprised?

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

TRUTH. They also ignore women, but more so black women. The whole high tolerance to pain is pure BS

Audry T. ~ she/her @audryt.bsky.social · 15h

It is a documented fact that, for example, black women are often ignored by white doctors and white nurses re: their pain level and their need for more pain medication.

Diversity in the medical workforce is a NECESSITY and we need to actively fight against all efforts to destroy it.

Michael D. Green @michaeldgreen.com · 15h

“The intent of all these actions is clear: to terminate policies that create a diverse medical workforce—one that looks like America—and which has doctors with lived experience that gives them insights into their patients’ lives.”

Because lived experience is critical to the delivery of care #MedSky

Also write on arm number of someone to contact if you’re arrested. Bring water if you’re tear gassed.

Audry T. ~ she/her @audryt.bsky.social · 15h

What he is saying, really, is that they are going to attack peaceful protestors and then blame their victims for being attacked.

Wear some padding under your clothes just as a precaution, folks. Have some small emergency first aid kits and see that ppl w/ medical training come to the protests.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 17h

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."
