📖We are often asked where you can find reliable vaccine information. It breaks our hearts to say it, but it’s no longer at CDC

The vaccine integrity project is a great source & has compiled recommendations from medical societies into 1 place for easier reference:

Why America goes to war 🤦‍♀️
People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

With a new database, "DHS is implicitly admitting that less than 5% of the people it arrests are people they believe are 'the worst of the worst,'" says Aaron Reichlin-Melnick of the American Immigration Council.
With New Database, DHS Suggests That Less Than 5% of Those Arrested by ICE Are the 'Worst of the Worst'
The database contains just 9,738 total people, a tiny fraction of the more than 220,000 ICE data says the agency arrested between January 21 and October 15.

California's success is not an accident — it's by design.

- 18% of the world's R&D
- 13,000+ active patents in the UC system
- Most Fortune 500 companies
- $180B invested in infrastructure

We dominate in every single category across the board.

Trump’s Attack on Somali Americans Is Vile Fascism

He’s testing our country’s tolerance for ethnic persecution. And we’re failing the test.

Tuesday - ICE agents used pepper spray to push through a crowd that blocked their vehicles as they checked IDs in a Somali neighborhood of Minneapolis.

Add AirBnB to your boycott list! Not only is the CEO, Brian Chesky, a tRump supporter, but ABB takes houses out of the domestic market for families and first time home owners, particularly in heavy tourist areas.
Boycott ABB!

Houses are expensive because billionaires gobble up homes and fix the rent or turn them into Airbnbs. The billionaires want you to think immigrants are buying up all the property.

As people made their way into a naturalization ceremony, ICE officials stopped 38 of the 100 applicants and told them they wouldn't be leaving with U.S. citizenship. The immigrants — who passed every step in the naturalization process — needed only to take the oath of allegiance to become citizens.

There are good people in this country, people who stand up for their neighbors & put their bodies on the line.

Don't forget that. Good people stand against #ICELawlessness. Be inspired by that. As ICE thugs round up, brutalize & torture our fellow Americans, do or say something! Don't be complicit.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.
