Reprehensible, I know.
Today, I read about a married couple aged 84 who were protesting..peacefully in Oregon. They were knocked down by ICE agents. The husband, I believe suffered a concussion. I'll try to find that post.

Confuser of anatomy.

WTAF!? The Secretary of Health and Human Services doesn't know WHERE a baby develops!!

The Secretary of Health and Human Services, who is giving pregnant women medical advice, does not understand the difference between a uterus and a placenta.

When reporting possible ICE activity, remember:
● How many, how dressed/equipped, what are they *doing?*
● Number/description of vehicles
● Exact location
● Don't spread rumors. Report what you *witness*

Seriously.

pay attention..
ICE is Trump Admin Gestapo; violence & deliberate illegal actions on citizens/human rights is clear.
I realize it seems unreal, yet here we are. Photos and videos are important.
Peaceful presence and protest are key. They are looking for 'any' reason to harm and/or detain.

I agree with all of you on these points.
My retirement days exist of relentless phone calls, protests and constant worry and I often wonder how or if I could move to another country at my age.
The reality we are living in is undeniably alarming. I won't give up. See y'all on 10-18 ☮️💙🙏
