A 15-year-old girl was assaulted while alerting her community about ICE raids. The Department of Homeland Security denies any involvement, ICE misrepresents the footage, and then continuously alters its narrative.

So glad I don't work night shift anymore where I have to wear this. I don't know what was harder- keeping that hat on all shift, constantly pulling the stockings up, or working without pockets.

Politicians are bought and paid for by special interests, and won't advance policy that makes people's lives materially better. The anger and frustration are justifiable. Protect immigrants. They're not stealing your wealth. That would be the billionaires.

When will the madness of this tyrant toddler end?
I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Healthcare should be a basic human right.
People shouldn’t have to fear bankruptcy for needing the ER.
They shouldn’t end up homeless because they became ill.
They shouldn’t have to “prove they matter” to get Medicaid.
For profit medicine is cruel & punitive.
Universal healthcare saves lives

More kids are severely ill or dying from the flu, CDC reports
As fewer children get their flu shots, cases of a rare, severe complication are rising. Last season, the U.S. experienced the highest number of pediatric flu deaths in 15 years.

If you believe in the teachings of Jesus as I do there it was.
Selfless act of grace from a grieving widow."

But the truth is that autistic people have always been present in the world. In schools, in every profession, in every element of society.
They have been scientists, writers, artists, doctors, politicians, farmers, grandparents, and weirdos and loners.

Is Senator Cassidy ever going to grow a spine and do something about this monster he created?
The ACIP meeting is RFR Jr.’s big FU to Sen. Bill Cassidy. RFK Jr broke the promises Cassidy said RFK Jr. made in his Senate floor speech, refused to delay the ACIP meeting as Cassidy requested, and is targeting the #HepB vaccine in the childhood schedule. #cancer
