“When food prices go up because farm workers go missing, that’s the ICE Tax. When construction grinds to a halt because no one is left to build homes, that’s the ICE Tax. When our elders can’t get the care they deserve because their caretakers and nurses are gone, that’s the ICE Tax.” #EndtheICETax

My mother was born 2 years after my grandparents lost their youngest child to the measles and pneumonia. My parents ensured that all 5 of us were vaccinated as each new vaccine became available. My parents did everything possible to ensure we stayed healthy. How have we gone backwards?

This hits home for me. I’m both a military daughter and a military spouse. My dad was stationed in Bangkok and we depended on the Stars and Stripes for news from home. My husband was stationed in England and Guam and our kids loved reading the Stars and Stripes. Trump can’t handle independent media.

For those of us old enough to remember when Ross Perot was running for President, his VP candidate was a retired Admiral who was unable to answer a question during a debate and blurted out “I don’t know what I’m doing here.” They, quite rightly, lost. This is no different.

This makes me so angry. In July we surpassed the number of measles cases for all of 2025. How are we letting an idiot with a brain worm dictate our vaccine schedule? We need to put functioning adults back in charge.

My brother was born in 1957. He was diagnosed with an intellectual disability when he was 3. My parents were advised to institutionalize him. They refused and advocated for him to receive services including an education. He learned to read, worked for Goodwill and had many friends. We can’t go back.

Trump’s deportation policing force is killing people. It was “foreseeable in the most tragic way.”
