The US government keeps using dangerous chemicals on protesters Civilians, children, and even the agents themselves are at risk.

All that gas you keep seeing federal agents use against protesters? Yeah, it's quite dangerous.

Homeland Security Wants Social Media Sites to Expose Anti-ICE Accounts

This is straight out of the dictator’s playbook. If the government doesn’t like what you say, they’ll put you on a list & monitor your every move.

The SAVE act is anti-American & anti-democracy. I’m furious that it passed the House.

It’s already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections. Voter fraud is rarer than rare—and when it does occur, it’s often MAGA trying to illegally tip the scale.

Trump Using A ‘Softer Touch’ With ICE In Minnesota? Residents Say Don’t Be Fooled. Two weeks after Alex Pretti’s killing, federal agents have shown no signs of backing down. The resistance definitely hasn't.

NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse.

Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch."

Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

Rise of anti-science rhetoric has fundamentally changed the relationship between doctors and patients “The rise of anti-science and anti-vaccine rhetoric has fundamentally changed the relationship between clinicians and patients.”

I wrote in @statnews.com about the emotional toll anti-vaccine rhetoric is taking on clinicians — and how it’s straining our relationships with patients.

This isn’t abstract; it’s happening every day in exam rooms across the country.

America is outraged after ICE killed two white people in Minneapolis.

I understand why folks are feeling afraid and angry right now. But I need you to understand something just as clearly: this is what Black America has been living with for generations.
