Posting this from months ago because we DO have homegrown experience with autocratic regimes in this country.

In nearly half this country during the first 6 decades of the 20th century Black people lived under systems of cruelty, voter suppression, hate, state violence & corruption. Ask them!

A child has died of measles in Lubbock, Texas.

The child had not been vaccinated.

After testing positive for measles last week, the school-aged child was hospitalized at Covenant Children’s Hospital — and died Tuesday night.

This is the first death from measles…

🚨🚨Here we go🚨🚨

Tucked into a "recovery" bill for Western NC, Republicans in the state legislature are using the last days of their lame-duck supermajority to try passing some pretty crazy stuff that has nothing at all to do with Helene recovery.

Elon Musk just called the COVID-19 pandemic that killed at least 1.4 million Americans a “scamdemic.”

Who am I missing?
