A great 30 minute documentary by epidemiologist/oncologist Lennart Hardell, MD, PhD and Mona Nilsson of the Swedish Radiation Protection Foundation – both of Sweden. Very important. Please share. #health #5G

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

Amen.
Absolutely gut-wrenching disappearing of a mother and the arrest of her 16-year-old daughter after throwing herself on the hood of the car driven by ICE, desperately trying to save her mother. This is a barbaric, soulless message echoing from one end of our country to the other.

This is so authoritarian. Only in Russia, the former Soviet Union, North Korea, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are there military parades on the leaders birthday. And now the US.

This should worry everyone. Without a free press, without First Amendment protections, there is no ability to investigate & hold accountable any government.

Whether Republicans show up or not is a metric for why they are really members of Congress. Are they there to keep their jobs and lobby after they leave office, making six-figures for the rest of their working days? Or are they there to represent the constituency that elected them?
Handy metric for how a political party is doing: Are its electeds willing to talk to their constituents or not?
