PLZ get vaccinated y'all. There's a new CDC Director who has 0 medical training, and the worm infested RFK is gutting access to vaccines. We don't need anymore vaccine preventable deaths.

Do not let these MAGA parasites try to back track away from the bullshit that they voted for because if you do then that gives them an excuse to vote the same way again in the future.

Heads up to the Metro ATL ppl, ICE is here and they set up an office in College Park. They will be driving Black Tahoes or in official ICE cars. They are known to use unmarked vehicles & to wear whatever they can to blend in.

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

We are objectively in a fascist authoritarian moment here in this country.
Academics and historians have established indicators for this. We are well over the line on many of them.
