5% of People Detained By ICE Have Violent Convictions, 73% No Convictions
Trump’s deportation agenda does not match campaign promises and is taking resources away from targeting true public safety threats.

This is a great look at the Trump/Miller ethnic cleansing war crimes by the numbers. "ICE arrests of immigrants without criminal convictions or criminal charges increased a staggering 1,500 percent since January 1."
Good job, CATO.

This is profoundly un-American.
No—that's not right.
It's *anti*-American.
It's hatred of the United States and its founding documents and all its people and all its traditions.

Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health.
The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information.
They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift.
Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air
Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr
