Health care (insurance) for life. FOR LIFE! And who pays? We do.

We are actively trying to rid ourselves of infections, which would mean that there is nothing for us to do (except vaccine-non preventable diseases like diabetic foot infections).

Former DOJ officials say Comey case is vindictive, call for dismissal The amicus brief signed by more than 100 former Justice Department officials urged a federal judge in Virginia to dismiss charges against the former FBI director.

More than 100 former Justice Department officials urged a federal judge to dismiss charges against former FBI director James B. Comey, arguing that the prosecution was fueled by political animus and not guided by legal standards.

ICE will try to anyway. It’s likely that we’d find out after he is in Africa.

I'm rooting for the Blue Jays just so I can see Donald melt down over a Canadian team winning the World Series.

Another reason why I love Costco: lots of people wear masks during cold/flu/COVID season

If you’re driving around in unmarked cars, wearing masks, and kidnapping people, you’re not one of the good guys.

This is good, but will it stop an administration that has so far been willing to violate other laws.

I’ve gained over 14k followers on IG in less than 2 weeks. All I post about is abx fundamentals. How cool is it to teach people bugs and drugs on this platform!?! One post has reached nearly 250k people 🀯

White words on a black background read:

50+ 
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. 

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

George Santos is a criminal. He was convicted of fraud, so, he stole money from people by lying to them. 7 years was okay with me. However, I don't live in New York. It's really up to them. A pardon is undeserved.

A tweet from Alex Cole says: β€œMy favorite No Kings protest sign.” The attached photo shows a protest crowd in front of a city building. One protester holds a large handmade sign in red and blue letters that reads: β€œNOT A PAID PROTESTER β€” I HATE TRUMP FOR FREE.” Other smaller protest signs and American flags are visible around them.

β€œNo kings” shouldn’t be a controversial message.

It seems like a good question. Violence begets violence.

Since there are people who will campaign for Trump to receive a Peace Prize, reporting on stories involving this is legitimate even if there are many more important stories involving our government authoritarianism/fascism.

Hey, Kristi, there is no "Antifa" organization. It's just people who oppose fascism and violent police action against civilians. Those dancing animal things are so so so dangerous.
