Inside the terror and resistance taking over Minnesotaβs largest city.
All US disease prevention services are on the chopping block, from vaccines to cancer screening.
One reason for this is that prevention takes years to show the totality of the results.
Ending it will also take years to show the totality of the results, long after The Regime is gone.
Every day at noon, no matter how busy, Johny Merida Aguilar left his construction job and hurried to his 5-year-old son's school to feed him. His son has brain cancer and generally only accepts food from his father.
Merida Aguilar was arrested by ICE in September and faces deportation to Bolivia.
One day everyone will have always been against this. excellent book.
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*
They're not lonely enough
He is not hot at all.
Seems like every day there are more and more people looking at ICE and saying βI didnβt vote for thisβ.
You did. You voted for a man who handed out MASS DEPORTATION NOW signs to crowds at his rallies.
Did you think that mass deportation was going to be gentle and thoughtful and peaceful?
Unbelievable.

South Carolina has reported 99 new measles cases in the past 3 days.
Meanwhile RFK Jr. is βbuilding a caseβ to argue that the U.S. shouldnβt lose its measles elimination status.
But weβve lost it and hell of a lot more.
He only cares about optics.
Reality need not apply.
If Renee Good is a "a domestic terrorist" according to Kristi Noem it means the label is meaningless and will be used by the Trump Administration to murder anyone it wants.
From Venezuelan fishermen to anti Trump protestors in the No Kings Rally.
Eyes wide open, friends.
Morning.
RFK Jr. is dangerous no matter what.
If he believes his own lies that vaccines harm and kill children, but theyβre still available in the U.S., heβs killing innocent people.
If he doesnβt really believe this and yet he continues to undermine vaccines, heβs also killing innocent people.
Almost 90% of Greenlandβs population is Indigenous, in case youβre wondering why the rich white men in the gilded White House think they can just take their land.
"We have our own medics" says a member of the Gestapo as he refuses to let a doctor help the woman who was murdered by ICE today.
Where the fuck were the medics? Why the fuck are only ICE medics allowed to work on victims of Gestapic violence? Must they wear masks too?
WHAT THE FUCK
Trump shot and killed an American citizen in Minneapolis today. He gave the orders. His responsibility.
Fuck Bari Weiss, fuck bootlicking regime propaganda
The way I see it, we have a few options:
1. General strike
2. Mass protests in DC for as long as it takes
3. Wait for Republicans to protect the country and therefore lose the country
No one is coming to save us.
Sara Lopez is a 2-year old who is paralyzed due to a rare complication from the flu.
Her mother then did something very brave. She said she had not to gotten Sara vaccinated against flu, and is imploring parents not to skip the shot.
RFK Jr. removed the flu vaccine for recommendation for kids.
"Renee was one of the kindest people Iβve ever known,β her mother said. βShe was extremely compassionate. Sheβs taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.β www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

If you have time to doom scroll, you have time to read books!
βThese viruses are serious, dangerous, and life-threatening. We are seeing children who are seriously ill, families grieving devastating losses, and hospitals under capacity strain.β

If only someone had tried to warn that the merger of mainstream medicine with antivaxx quackery was dangerous.
If only.

SARS-CoV-2 infection was also associated with premature birth.
You may be wondering about vaccination impact. Only 8% of women who were not infected had been vaccinated whereas just 2% of those who were infected had been vaccinated.
Babies whose mothers contracted SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy were significantly more likely to have a neurodevelopmental disorder (16.3%) by age 3 than those who were not exposed (9.7%).
This finding is similar to results of several different types of maternal infections during pregnancy.
