I’m not sharing this to scare people—though it’s fucking terrifying. I’m sharing it because we all need to be on guard. We won’t be getting reliable data from the CDC anymore. Worse, the guidance could be harmful. RFK Jr. has no medical training, no scientific background…

Republicans: “Stop making everything about race.” Really? White people enslaved Black people for generations, stole Native land, lynched and segregated us, burned down Black communities that thrived, and treated Mexican land & labor like property to be taken. America already made it about race.

Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control they’ve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But we’re denying Venezuelan’s asylum claims who fled for their lives. 🤔

In Utah, judges consistently let rapists off without prison time. Candon Dean Dahle raped a little girl for 5 years when she was 7-12 years old. The judge decided to suspend a prison sentence & instead sentence Dahle to probation. Utah judges & lawmakers protect predators. #Pinks
