These three stories were all published this week. Abolishing ICE is a reproductive justice issue

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,

Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

WHAT THE FUCK, AMERICA!💔🤬
Citizens are being shot in the streets.
People are fleeing their homes because they're afraid of their government.

WHERE ARE OUR LEADERS?

WHERE IS OUR MILITARY??

WHO DO WE TURN TO WHEN OUR OWN GOVERNMENT IS TERRORIZING US???

So angry about each of these statements. Standing in the way of life-saving measures is heinous, the force multiplier being Alex Pretti was himself an ICU nurse.💔

ANOTHER WITNESS (a doctor who administered CPR):

“Checking for a pulse & administering CPR is standard practice… instead, ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet sounds.”

“From what I could tell, the victim was not actively threatening ICE.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Thank you!!!

North Carolina has six such hospitals that are likely to close if this bill passes, leaving thousands without the access to lifesaving care, employment, financial security and more.

Many small, rural hospitals are dependent on Medicaid patients to stay in operation. Rural communities, supported by those hospitals, will wither and die. And the people that live in those healthcare deserts, whether they're Medicaid dependant or not, will suffer.

Trump administration retreats in fight against Russian cyber threats Recent incidents indicate US is no longer characterizing Russia as a cybersecurity threat, marking a radical departure: ‘Putin is on the inside now’

This has real consequences for upcoming elections. How do we secure election integrity from known threats when the PRESIDENT is downplaying those agents, weakening election security itself, and installing people who could tamper with the outcomes?
