Pissed off and ready for action. Not waiting for some magical fairy leader, who isn’t coming, to wave their wand of democracy and fix everything. This is All Hands On Deck and this is NOW or never. Let’s do this.

HHS wants a new Medicare code that pays doctors extra only when they attribute a patient’s symptoms to a vaccine. Vaccine critics say doctors are paid to push vaccines. We aren’t. Under this code, we’d be paid to blame them. My new piece in @cidrap.bsky.social: www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

cidrap.umn.eduCIDRAP Op-Ed: HHS says it wants better evidence on vaccine injuries. It’s building a system that will produce the opposite.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving his construction crew to work when an ICE officer shot and killed him in Houston. He wasn’t even the person ICE was looking for. Now Texas voters are leaving their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial. #BlueWaveIn10Days

ICE is out of control and not welcome in Long Beach. These agents are terrorizing our communities, separating families, and kidnapping people who are just here trying to work. There must be a full investigations and there must be accountability and justice. Abolish ICE.

Yes, please‼️ But here’s what would need to happen to abolish the Electoral College. 1. The House: Two-thirds must vote to amend the Constitution. 2. The Senate: Two-thirds must approve. 3. The States: At least 38 of 50 states must ratify the amendment.

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

Damn, that was a quick Iranian response about Traitor Trump threatening Los Angeles and San Diego. I love these. They beat the shit out of Pedolf Shitler's fake, laughable AI posts where he pretends to be a hero.😅

Criminal. Unconstitutional. Inhumane. ICE is kidnapping & disappearing people by the hundreds of thousands. Humans are listed in official records as numbers, not with their names. Sound familiar? History has seen this before. We must stop this & save the abducted. substack.com/@bearingwitn...

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils and paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed. Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)

Shady. Slipping under the radar.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein cultivated relationships with CBP officers at the airports he frequented. Epstein emailed and texted with six CBP officers, invited them to his island, visited with them at the airport, and frequently sought to determine who was going to be on duty when he was traveling

Wow. Thank you heroes. Can’t believe this is where we are. But we are. So we need this at every i€e facility. And we need record keeping. One location has a man who just comes and photographs every person put on to airplanes. So there is data. We need to track all of these human beings. Follow up.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes. Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted. Beautiful and devastating all at once.

The best of the best.

NEW: Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s husband has been barred from entering Labor Department HQ after two female staffers accused him of sexual assault inside the building, according to NYT. One alleged incident was captured on security cameras and is now part of a criminal investigation.

Oh hell no. Come the f on. No. A hundred times no. Action needed.

In the 1800s, a slave owner purchased over a dozen people in Georgia and set the foundation for his family’s generational wealth Generations later, a railroad company owned by one of his descendants is using eminent domain to seize land of Black farmers

Okay obviously authoritarian, but even this is a cheap knockoff janky version, just like he is, & everything he shils. Look at those ratchet yellow straps hanging from the top & bottom. Even if a wip, it is still a flimsy hollow veneer, fooling no one about the man behind the curtain. We see you.

She lives with her grandmother in Colombia and travels frequently to the U.S. to visit her mother. Her visa made them targets for ICE. A trip to Disneyland ended with a 9-year-old, who had broken no laws, detained at Dilley, Texas. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...
