Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

Nenko Gantchev should still be alive—home with his family. After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

"A source inside [the Office of Refugee Resettlement] said that since the start of November, the govt has pretty much stopped releasing kids to sponsors, even those who had cleared the vetting process."
The govt denies this. In 2017-18, the govt also denied taking immigrant kids from their parents.

It’s easy to see why #Putin and #Trump are friends. #BoldLiars
We all saw #Russia INVADE #Ukraine and give #Zelensky an ultimatum that he ignored.
Just like we all saw #Trump LIE about the 2020 Election and what happened on #Jan6.
Keep copious notes.

There should be ZERO #PrivatePrisons in America.
ICE has its own Health Services Corps, which it operates in 17 large detention centers, but an increasingly large majority of people are held in private detention centers where the healthcare is operated by contractor or subcontractor, where ICE basically just manages the insurance claims.

The abject murder of people in #ICE detention is an untold story and needs way more light shined on it.
Disgraceful inhumanity from those that profess to be #ProLife.

FOUR new deaths in ICE detention. That puts the total this year at 30 people dead; the highest in ICE's history and worse than even during the COVID years.
It's clear that the system is breaking down. Many of these are preventable deaths.

ICE has a responsibility to take care of these people, something they are clearly disregarding. This is beyond horrifying. We must ensure dignity and humanity for detained people in this country.
