⚠️Nobody ever talks about the crazy ⬆️40%-50% higher risk of hospital staff deaths during/after pandemic. Pre-pandemic death rate was 850-900… post pandemic it’s hovered around 1200-1300 consistently since 2022 to today. #LongCovid is serious. It’s not the vaccine—been proven. It’s COVID.

We’re hearing reports that DHS could launch increased immigration operations in Maine in the coming days. I know people are scared. Please know I stand firmly with our immigrant communities. We will NOT stand by as ICE, CBP, or any other agency terrorizes our communities and abducts our neighbors.

U.S. billionaires got an astounding $1.5 TRILLION richer in the first year of Trump's second term. Remember — this is happening as they get even more tax cuts in exchange for the social safety net being cut for everyone else. "New Golden Age" for who?

Just in: The Trump administration sent hundreds of letters Tuesday terminating federal grants supporting mental health and drug addiction services.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

As California ends Medicaid coverage for GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound, experts say the state’s advice to simply eat better isn’t realistic for many patients.

A protester is currently lying in a hospital bed with a piece of shrapnel in his neck 7mm from his carotid artery. While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."

Think you have to retire the phrase “immigration crackdown” when every major violent spectacle — at least those the news is choosing to highlight — involve US citizens screaming “Check my ID!”

And these were the ones ProPublica could find. www.propublica.org/article/vide...

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

ICE detained a person this morning in the Central neighborhood of Minneapolis

We are posted up outside LC High School here in Spokane, where hundreds of students have walked out of their class in protest of ICE. LC is one of six schools across the Spokane participating in the walkout, which was organized at a lunch table last Thursday.

Call your reps, call your senators. Tell them they can shut this authoritarian government down or we'll throw them out of office and get some representatives who, you know, actually represent us.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

This is Juan Carlos, a U.S. citizen, who was violently restrained by five ICE agents, repeatedly beaten by one of them, kneed in the face, and later ditched in a Walmart parking lot — treated like a piece of trash. We cannot let the admin. normalize this kind of behavior. #BlueSky #NewsSky #LawSky

Breaking News: The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses.

My name is Mary Peltola, and I'm running for U.S. Senate to fight for fish, family, and freedom – and that begins with fixing the rigged system in DC that’s shutting down Alaska. We need systemic change if we're going to lower costs, save our fisheries, and fill our homes with abundance again.

So many Athletes have had their whole careers derailed by long covid. Busting the narrative proving it can happen to anyone. COVID doesn’t care what our plans are sadly.

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

How many people have to say it? ICE is out of control, and racist as f*ck. This is ICE culture “They opened the door and asked if I was afraid yet? I said, ‘Absolutely NOT.’ Then they said it, ‘Well, you’re white and it wouldn’t be any fun and told me to get out of the car.’” - Rev Callaghan

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.

The Wyoming Supreme Court just ruled to protect abortion rights! They struck down the state's two abortion bans (yes, two). I'm so thrilled for the people of Wyoming, but also for all of us—because the decision could actually help abortion rights everywhere. jessica.substack.com/p/breaking-w...
