Trump is blatantly lying about the shooting now. We all saw the video.
Trump is lying about the circumstances of a US citizen being shot.
ICE murdered the woman in cold blood and walked away. He was not run over. He is not in the hospital. It is easy to know he is alive.
Impeach and remove Trump now for aiding murder of US citizens and lying to cover up the murder!

Looking around DC which fell out the national narrative for being occupied but still is. Confirmed.
ICE and CBP haven’t withdrawn from a single fucking U.S. city that they’ve occupied.

Maybe Texas will start paying attention to 4th amendment violations by ICE and their blatant lying about warrants and criminal charges.
And taxpayers are going to have to pay for all the lawsuits. Except for the billionaires avoiding taxes, that is.

What would be the correct terminology for it telling surgeons that the instruments are in a different location? I know that the misidentification of body parts would be false positives (and still dangerous in an active surgical context).

I'm going to be blunt: if I catch tb, I can no longer take one of my medicines.
I mask *everywhere* but I have been able to enjoy an n95 vs a p100.
This could seriously mess up my health beyond what I already have to manage.
Healthcare does not vaccinate against tb in the US.

There’s a full-on TB outbreak in SF right now. You can just mask for literally any reason!
Multiple friends have caught COVID recently, including some of my more cautious pals. There are a lot of winter germs in crowded places right now, fam. Personally, I never feel that shopping or riding transit unmasked is worth potentially getting sick. You can always renew this practice.

Frankly, it sucks. The sentences don't flow and the errors are glaringly obvious (like initially describing a trumpet playing and then talking about its "strings").
