Congress must immediately create and pass a bipartisan, stand-alone, veto-proof bill appropriating emergency funding for a bird flu vaccine. To do otherwise will, with high likelihood (it's a 'when', not an 'if'), lead to the death to millions.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding.

Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.
Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care
Hospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.

I'm embarrassed for the New York Times that they published this piece on Ms. Rachel, in which they cite a ridiculous anonymous righwing website Stopantisemitism while indulging the mad, mad claim she may be funded by Hamas (!).

A reminder that if this same headline and subhed was published somewhere else with Qatar changed to Israel, the same Free Press that published this piece would scream that it was antisemitic.

Chaos erupts in Massachusetts neighborhood as ICE drags away mom—clinging to her baby.

The crowd asked ICE to show an ID or warrant for the arrest—agents replied, "We don’t have to show you anything."

Local police then arrested the teen daughter of woman ICE had just detained for being "hostile."

I don’t know who in the hell this evil dickhead thinks he is, but I predict life in prison for him when this regime falls from power and put on trial. Maybe we will get lucky and someone exercises their 2nd amendment rights first.

TAKE THIS IN…

📌Six ICE cars
📌One dad
📌Two kids left behind crying in a truck

Terrorizing families in broad daylight, in a farmworker town, like it’s a cartel raid isn’t law enforcement—it’s a trauma operation.

We are a fascist state, and I don’t recognize our country.

Abolish ICE. I am having nightmares about these incidents and waking up absolutely frozen in fear... and I'm not the one living them. This is terror, this is fascism. We must end this nightmare.

Martin Diaz came to the U.S. as a toddler, fleeing cartel violence with his family. They had proof of the danger—a letter from a Michoacán official. He married a U.S. citizen & was advancing his visa.

Then ICE showed up at his home in Spokane: no warrant, no ID
