Earlier this week, a new page titled “Vaccines and Autism” appeared on the CDC website. The agency's employees are not happy about it.

We don’t need to reform ICE.

ICE isn’t even 23 years old. Most adults know a world without ICE. And the billions used to fund ICE can be used to meet people’s basic needs.

How does a woman surrounded by more than 90 drs still die? Easy: TX laws made them powerless. Tierra Walker’s pregnancy caused dangerous complications—heart issues, seizures, diabetes. She asked if she needed an abortion. They said no. She died. TX didn’t fail her by accident It failed her by design

If you don’t know about the cycle of abuse, look it up. He’s currently just done “lashing out” and will now proceed to the gaslighting “nothing happened” phase, after which there might be a short period of calm before “creating tension” and back to lashing out again.

ICE and Border Patrol always lie.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

Do you know how kind and friendly Black voters are? Everyone gets like 3%, just for showing up! You have to work to go down from there!
