Good news in the fight against COVID-19 🧬

Scientists have developed a nasal peptide drug that locks the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, preventing the virus from entering cells.

In animal studies, it blocked multiple COVID-19 variants, showing strong potential as a future preventive nasal spray.

If true that Greg Bovino is being demoted and forced to retire, it’s because of us. The resistance.

Now let’s step it up and get rid of Kristi Noem for good.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.

Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.

AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.

Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

“Renee Good was already dead and could not be considered a suspect for a warrant.” - Federal magistrate judge

ICE was looking for a way to criminally charge a woman they murdered!

DOJ sought to probe Renee Good for criminal liability, even after her death: Sources
A judge refused an FBI warrant that proposed investigating dead Minnesota mom for suspected assault on an officer.

Nice try, but we remember who put these vaccine deniers in positions of power… and who, once they proved utterly unfaithful to their promises, are still keeping them there.
Sen Cassidy: “Claiming that risk from vaccines is greater than the threat from disease has led to highest rate of measles in decades. Undermining faith in polio vaccine will lead to paralyzed children. What others are doing will be blamed on President Trump. Unfair but true.”

Here is the Republican response to asking them to vote against the homeland security bill. I responded with pushback against their claims and asked for data. Of course I won’t get that email.

Do it! I am doing this every day. Every darn day to flood their lines and their emails. Every darn day to make the point that they need to do better.
Senate offices are closed today, but you can email your senators and demand that they use their vote later this week to rein in ICE and CBP death squads: act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...

Then make a call. If your senators’ voicemails are full, call back tomorrow: indivisible.org/ice-out-sena...

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

We can’t sit quietly by while ICE terrorizes our communities and threatens our neighbors. The U.S. Senate is preparing to vote on a bill that would give DHS billions to expand ICE operations with no real protections or accountability. Please write your senators today and demand they vote NO.
Tell Congress to Listen to Moms for Good!
I sent my members of Congress a letter demanding they stop ICE from terrorizing our neighbors. Will you join me?

ICE and CBP death squads are killing innocent people, terrorizing our communities, and violating our constitutional rights — and the House just voted to give them more money.

The DHS funding bill can’t pass the Senate without Democratic votes. We must flood Senate Democrats’ offices with calls and force them to use their leverage to rein in ICE.

This is the grim, depressing reality Donald Trump has made of American life.

Instead of waking up on a Saturday, relaxing and spending time with your loved ones, you now have to watch American towns being ravaged and their citizens being murdered by violent secret police. All because of one man.

So the “everyone should be armed” second amendment crowd is using the fact the a man was armed (maybe) as justification?

Is this right?

I believe nothing this regime spews.
Who in their right mind believes statements from the Department of Homeland Security?

Who believes anything Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller or Trump might say about what has just happened in Minneapolis?

They no longer have any credibility. That should be clear by now.

They lie like they breathe.
