My name is Loon, and I am #Iowas #CaptainAmerica. When I'm not carrying the shield or at my day job, I'm volunteering as a Street Medic. I'm a retired firefighter paramedic, an Air Force wife and mother, and Army sister and granddaughter.

#antifascist always.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

In 1962, author Roald Dahl’s beloved 7-yr-old daughter, Olivia, tragically died from measles, This devastating loss left an indelible mark on Dahl, propelling him into a lifelong crusade to raise awareness about the importance of childhood vaccinations.

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

If you want to help those fired from CDC over the weekend, the CDC Mutual Aid Network is helping folks with emergency rent, groceries, etc.

altCDC gets no funds from donations, but we can verify they are legit and funds go directly to those impacted.

CDC Mutual Aid Network @cdcmutualaid.bsky.social · 7d

We're collecting resources for furloughed CDC workers (and other feds!) on our new Shutdown Survival Guide page. Check it out (and let us know if we've missed something!) www.cdcresourceportal.org/resources/sh...

Seeing a lot of "No Kings" protests groups using AI images lately

You aren't resisting fascism by using their tools

Be better than that

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

It is a disgrace that Fox continues to put them on constantly day after day to spew their propaganda to their friends when Hegseth & Wilson are afraid to face real press and are obviously in the process of covering a lot up that they don’t want the American people to know.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight
