Allow Donald Trump to save face? Fuck that. I want him to face the end with less face than the Nazi major at the end of Raiders (metaphorically). I’m not from Illinois, but I encourage anyone who is to call Duckworth’s office and let her know what you think of her remarks.

Vaccines really are amazing scientific accomplishments. The shingles vaccines reduces risk of heart disease. The HPV vaccine has made cervical cancer virtually obsolete. We’re close to an mRNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer. Science for the win! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Does the shingles vaccine cut heart-disease risk? Mounting evidence suggests a link
Large study finds that people who received the ‘recombinant’ vaccine for the viral condition had a lower risk of cardiovascular problems.

There's no forgiving this. No living it down. It's a stain on our humanity. When all this is over, the monsters who did this should be pariahs. And the soulless thugs who cheered it on while dehumanizing Haitian immigrants should be reminded of what they did every day of their lives.

I don't know about you, but I'm for Dems running as an alternative to MAGA and Trump and opponents of MAGA and Trump rather than as a version of the Dems that helped pave the way for MAGA and Trump.

* My only asterisk here is that even if they had crates of cocaine aboard the boat, they're *still* murder victims. You can't use deadly force against civilians without an imminent self-defense justification, without even a warning. To normalize that is to enable massacres.

Anne Frank wasn’t beat or shot to death. She died of typhus due to unhygienic conditions in her concentration camp. ICE isn’t just killing the people it shoots. A detention center is just a death camp by a different name. And they’re quietly murdering everyday. Post Here: interactink.vercel.app

No placebo, standard side effects. 2 in person visits and a phone call and requires a couple 5ml blood draws and a week of reaction monitoring surveys. It is well compensated. Message for details.

“Obama was opposed to gay marriage, give it time, don’t seek perfection on trans issues from Dems.” Yeah, but gay marriage was a new right LGBT people were seeking. Sports, bathrooms, and IDs are something trans people have had for decades. Going BACKWARDS Is the opposite of the Obama comparison.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

ICE killed two people in Minneapolis. Two ICE agents were charged by the state, which may go nowhere. Today, the federal government charged 15 protesters with conspiracy. One side got federal prosecutors. The other got a body count. Notice the asymmetry. Who is the law protecting?
