I know SCOTUS literally already said that it was open season on any kind of Brown folk but this is another in "the irony of the error proves the stupidity of the whole entire concept".

This was a packed Hillsboro City Council meeting — at least 3 hours long. Residents demand: stop ICE collab, aid for immigrant families, end Flock surveillance, and hold police accountable.

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

I will call out anyone who makes generalisations about ‘boomers’ and their affiliation to the Right. We were the generation at the vanguard of the fight against racism, sexism, protested against Vietnam. There are multitudes of us who still hold those views and are horrified by what is happening

I personally know several Iowans who have gotten COVID in the past month.
But if you're under age 65 and don't have an underlying condition, hard to get a COVID booster here. Our governor is doing nothing to help people protect themselves or their families.

Many low-risk Iowans can't get a booster to protect themselves and their families from COVID-19. The governor denies the problem exists.
