This isn’t policing — it’s authoritarian theater…

“So far, the ICE gang has shot & killed an unarmed man & lied about the circumstances; shot a woman 5 times for obstructing their vehicle; roughed up elderly women and zip-tied small children; shot a clergyman in the face

I fell for the antivax lies, then measles put my son in hospital

One reason so many American hospitals are struggling? Investors buy them up, then suck them dry, charging such high rents that services are gutted.

The landlord gutting America’s hospitals
Medical Properties Trust buys up hospitals and then leases them back to health care systems. Dozens of its hospitals have gone belly up.

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.

There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

This is beautiful. It shows that Sophie and Colin Hortman take after their parents. Even in this moment of incomprehensible pain, they express love and gratitude and focus on goodness.

Los Angeles is pretty great, actually. Great people, great city, great state.

They are spinning fiction.
Trump: "Within the span of a few decades, Los Angeles has gone from being one of the cleanest, safest, most beautiful cities on earth to being a trash heap with entire neighborhoods under the control of transnational gangs."

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

oh no worries at all. happy to help in any small way. im super sorry you're experiencing all of this, and we're so limited in what we know sometimes.
I'm sorry you're experiencing these. So much of medicine+science that we don't know. This made some sense to me- re: LCV. The dysregulated immune system in UC > inflamed intestinal lining > unregulated entry of microorgs + antigens > triggers abnormal immune reaction. www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/11...
