Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

RUTHERFORD COUNTY: “Her whole focus is regaining custody of her daughter.”

Woman gives birth in custody, ICE separates from her baby for 35 days even after all charges dropped - locked up in Louisiana while her newborn is in state custody in Tennessee.

WTF? ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security.

You sir, are no Ronald Reagan.

And Reagan was a terrible racist know-nothing who nearly destroyed life on earth and tried to kill my LGBTQ sisters and brothers.
The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

I see this argument made all the time and it's embarrassing for CCDH to keep making it, because it's a lie. Section 230, what they're talking about, does not give anyone a "get out of jail free" card. It simply puts the liability on the party who actually engaged in the violative behavior.
"Without checks and balances, [social media companies] have become a little bit tyrannical, very arrogant, and completely dismissive of their impact on our society."

This is key and absolutely missing from most conversations about 230.
If the "harm" is directly from actions by the social media company, Section 230 does not protect them. But, the problem that people have is that the "harm" they're upset about comes from third party *speech* on those platforms, and they don't want to go after the actual speakers.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Frankly, all I need to know about Susie Wiles is that she willingly went to work for one of the most vile people on the planet, and has continued working with the most vile regime on the planet, including Vance, Miller, Leavitt, and so on.

That tells me all I need to know.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.
