Oops: Eric Trump and other right-wingers accidentally gush over the fact that fentanyl deaths in the U.S. plummeted under Biden’s presidency after spiking during Trump’s first term—because they don’t know how to read a chart.

ICE keeps saying the people protesting it are being paid without any evidence, but we have receipts showing that the people *defending* ICE are absolutely being paid.

And yet we only hear lies about the former on cable news.
relevant to the debate over whether we should keep funding DHS without reforms and accountability for how out of control their spending is

Abolish ICE completely, top to bottom.

Let nothing of that organization remain.

And hold everyone involved accountable for their evil.

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it.

We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics.

What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

This message is antichrist.

It’s the way of the Empire, and not the way of Jesus.

To support ICE is to deny Jesus and work against His Kingsom.

You don't reform this. You can't fix it with "better training."

An institution that behaves this way is functioning exactly as intended.

This is a big deal.
Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

You know the Democrats will be all about "healing" the country in '28, but we cannot heal if we do not have accountability for crimes. Every ICE agent must be held accountable, every politician, every fascist enabler and bootlicker. We need a Nuremberg and we need a leader who can make it happen.

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum.

We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

Hell is not about eternal conscious torment. It is visited upon us and our neighbors daily.

And there is deliverance from these hellscapes.

Today is the day of salvation.

Rest in peace, Renee Good.

Repent and believe.

The fact that a warmonger president calls himself Christian and is cheered and primarily supported by Christians is one of the oldest and most egregious failures of Christianity - a failure to take seriously the Gospel’s commitment to peace and a cozying up to power. God hates war - full stop.

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks.

The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

They want to wipe out almost a third of the country. It’s got nothing to do with illegal immigration.

It’s white nationalism pure and simple. They’re fascists, and there’s no reason to doubt it.

Americans & Europeans needlessly exposing African babies to preventable diseases just to see if they can find something that would justify their preexisting antivaccine beliefs is not only unscientific and actually anti-science, it is very much reminiscent of colonialist, racist human rights abuses
“It is not clear what the research question is. It seems to be about the safety of the vaccine rather than its effectiveness, but both are already well-established, and to undertake such a study in a population where almost 1/5 of the adult population has a marker of infection seems extremely risky”

This is a wildly unethical study that would be illegal to conduct in the United States. Have you heard of the Tuskegee experiments (crimes against humanity)? This sounds like that.
CDC awards $1.6 million for new hepatitis B vaccine study in Guinea-Bissau. Although the award recipients aren't named, the grant seems tailored to Danish researchers whose work is championed by anti-vaxxers but challenged by mainstream scientists.

This goes against decades of global data on the safety and efficacy of the Hepatitis B vaccine and will mean some children will get entirely-preventable liver disease, organ failure, cancers, and die.

The CDC is officially pro-disease and pro-death when it comes to children.
The CDC officially adopted ACIP recommendations to change the universal hepatitis B vaccine at birth; the agency says it will still be available through Vaccines for Children. They're still reviewing the rec on blood testing.
