This woman has been locked up for 10 months while suffering from leukaemia
Just another example of how ICE is a disability justice issue
She’s being denied medical care. She’s lost 70lbs. She’s coughing up blood
It’s cruel & inhumane
They are choosing to let this woman suffer.
Never forget it.

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution:
If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow.
If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious.
By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

“[Trump] is equal parts reckless and stupid, and it’s hard to know which is at play at any given time—if not both. When it comes to the Venezuela facility strike story, either Trump revealed a covert operation or amplified an internet lie. Regardless, we need to know which one it was.”
NEW from me — I broke down Trump's claim on local right wing radio that the US carried out a Christmas Eve land strike in Venezuela, how he doubled down Monday, the subsequent media reports with no substance, the potential role of social media rumors about an actual fire, and how we need the truth:
Trump says US bombed alleged drug facility in Venezuela. No one knows if it’s true.
It could be a lie from social media, or a conflation of other stories. Either way, Americans need to know.

Should also add that right before she quit, Marjorie Taylor Greene passed a bill through the House to ban gender-affirming care for minors. She is not a moderate. She is still super right wing. She just felt Trump no longer could accomplish her goals.
