Trump admin cancels addiction and mental health grants.
Making more people desperate and on the edge. Any "litte people" who thought Trump cared for them should wise up. He cares for himself, and might manage interest in the rich and powerful now and then.

“In late December, the Centers for Medicare &Medicaid Services announced that state Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program no longer have to report progress on getting children & teens vaccinated. As a result, we will have less information about vaccination rates just when we need it most”
States no longer have to report Medicaid, CHIP vaccination rates to CMS, further undermining immunization
Medicaid and CHIP cover almost half of American children. A new CMS policy means we will know less about their health.

This is completely fucking unacceptable. Shut this terrorist government down until it stops brutalizing its own citizens.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

Violent CBP goons beat up homeless legal resident
Kneeing someone in the face while they're restrained is not law enforcement. They are taunting the public. They want us to react with the same energy so they can really let their dogs loose on us.

Multiple eyewitness accounts of ICE's shooting of two people in Portland agree that ICE opened fire AFTER the pickup truck with the two individuals was already driving away, violating DHS's own rules.
They opened fire in a public area, near a hospital, without regard for safety.
Lawless thugs.

Any woman, but especially those who have faced abusers, recognized the tone of that “Fucking bitch” - it’s awakened many. Join local community groups. Don’t shrink from this. Be louder. We can’t hide our heads in the sand from these horrendous acts. Together we can fight them!

DHS choppers don’t show um on radar; they turn off their transponders. They also use drones.
This is all Border Patrol tactics. They don’t investigate. They go hunting. They’re trying to take what they do on the rural border & apply it to cities. It doesn’t work. It appears to be frustrating them.

This is Minneapolis:
Our kids asked that their white noise machine be turned up to try to drown out the noise of the helicopter that’s been nonstop since we woke up this morning.
Our 7yo asked “Isn’t it past their bedtime, too? They should go home & stop being so noisy.”

This will continue as long as poorly-trained, unprepared, heavily-armed, masked federal agents with self-esteem issues roam our streets abusing basic constitutional rights and targeting, harassing, & terrorizing immigrants & citizens. Most Americans rightly will not put up with this. No fucking way.
