•Advances abortion restrictions
•Sends $3.3B more to Israel as they commit genocide

Once the journalists are gone, no one will know who they go after next.
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Markey: President Trump, Vice President Vance, Secretary Noem have all peddled lies about Renee and about the shooting in blatant contradiction of what Americans have seen with their own eyes. It is disgusting

We didn’t have videos of white supremacists lynching Emmitt Till. But we do have have video evidence of white supremacist ICE agent Jonathan Ross executing Renee Good.
If we are a nation of laws, Jonathan Ross and his bosses - Trump, Vance, and Noem - must be held accountable for Good’s murder.

Guns are the leading killer of college-aged people in this country. We are failing them by allowing this scourge to continue.
De’Jon Darrell Fox Jr., a sophomore at Kentucky State University with a bright future ahead of him, deserved to come home from finals week alive. His mother is heartbroken. “I didn’t think that this was something that I have to worry about while he’s at school.”

These people are fucking insane. If vaccines were killing or injuring so many people, we WOULDN'T HAVE THEM.
The only time we allow that sort of thing is with guns.

SORKIN: The Trump administration has talked about taking a piece of Nvidia chip sales. What do you make of that prospect?
SEN. PETE RICKETTS: That sounds like something Nvidia can work out with the govt. I don't want to get in the middle of that.

It makes more sense when you realize that RFK Jr. isn't an anti-vaxxer.
He's a eugenicist. He thinks that people die of disease because they are genetically inferior and vaccines dirty the gene pool by allowing inferior children who should have died of their illnesses to breed.

This was true for my ancestors.
Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.
