Interesting that they haven't also changed the vaccine 'guidelines' for influenza. But I'm sure they will get to those next.
Apparently. Your insurance company (and that's assuming you have health insurance) is now 'free' to not cover the vaccine for anyone excluded by these new 'guidelines' and you are 'free' to pay for it out-of-pocket if you can afford it. Aren't we lucky? 🫤
The Food and Drug Administration approved the next round of COVID-19 vaccines, but they come with restrictions. NPR wants to know your questions about the new guidance.

A woman’s right to vote, inviolable for 105 years, right? Reminder, 2016 Republican Convention Speaker Abby Johnson, supported Household Voting w/the one household vote belonging to men. The same Christian Nationalist agenda is supported by Hegseth. But hey, like Roe, that won’t ever change, right?
He has refused and wants his day in court, which he is entitled to and the court is fully prepared to give him, and is now under threat of deportation to Uganda--by the administration not a judge.
The government made no effort to deport until this administration's f'up--one they have admitted to. Now they have invented a bunch of charges, a common authoritarian move, and offered him a plea deal to be deported to Costa Rica but only if he admits guilt.
I'm pretty sure any sensible person reading our interaction here would not see me as the fanatic here. Abrego Garcia was granted a stay of deportation in 2019. It was lifted with the caveat that he couldn't be deported to El Salvador or to a third country where he is likely to face persecution.

You should try following your own advice, because, again, that law only allows for expedited removal under circumstances that do not apply to Abrego Garcia and he is entitled to full due process.
Exactly. Why is this administration so unwilling to try to prove their accusations against Abrego Garcia in court?
And what the fuck is wrong with you that you think the law and the Constitution can just be tossed out the window whenever? And why is this administration trying SO HARD to not have to prove their accusations against him?
You are so right. I'm really not talking to this person though. I'm talking to the people who might be reading their posts and may not know much about this and end up with the wrong information.
He wasn't by the government's own admission. He has not been convicted of a crime and was granted a withholding of removal. Even under the The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, he is entitled to proper due process.

or deportation to a third country. There is a growing trend toward deportations outside the courtroom, characterized by speed, secrecy, and the removal of judicial oversight. The Trump administration has significantly increased the use of third-country deportations, including deporting individuals
The court determined he had a "well-founded fear" of persecution from gangs in El Salvador, granting him temporary legal status and a work permit in the U.S. He was recently released after being wrongly deported and seeks to remain in the U.S. with his family, but faces potential further detention
Abrego Garcia initially sought asylum to prevent deportation to El Salvador. While his asylum claim was denied because it was filed too late, he was granted withholding of removal by an immigration judge in 2019.
Right to Counsel: Although the government is not required to provide an attorney for free, individuals have the right to legal representation at their own expense.
Opportunity to Be Heard: They have the right to present evidence and make a case for why they should not be deported, such as through an asylum claim. Neutral Decision-Maker: The hearing takes place before an immigration judge.
Due Process for People Already in the US Right to a Hearing: Individuals who are already inside the US and face deportation have a right to due process. Notice of Charges: The government must inform the individual of the charges against them.
What are the three requirements of due process? AI Overview The three basic requirements of due process are notice, an opportunity to be heard, and an impartial tribunal. These requirements ensure that the government acts fairly when depriving someone of life, liberty, or property.
What our government is doing to Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a vile, racist, cruel, and inhumane disgrace. No Christian, let alone, decent human being can justify this. And if you’re trying to, you’re the problem here.
A disgusting, vindictive prosecution of this poor man by the Trump DOJ, led by law-lackey, Pamela Jo Bondi.

THIS!!! It was a grant from Biden Administration. But after badgering and threatening CEO, Trump grabs an equity stake as a bribe. I’m old enough to remember when free market Republicans and Libertarians would have been outraged by this government expropriation (hint - it was 6 months ago).
I personally know a hard-working family who is self-deporting to stay safe from the Trump regime. Their family business is construction. It’s going to be harder and harder to find labor which is why they are defunding public schools and rolling back child labor laws.

After DOGE outed Halimi, Taliban intelligence agents blindfolded and took three of his family members to a remote prison. They were repeatedly beaten and questioned about Halimi and his recently publicized work for the United States.

Ah, advocating hard time in the gulag for spray paint. That's revealing.

Have a good day. May you never run afoul of the police state (after all, who can say when the rules are being rewritten faster than you can say "Where's my copy of the Constitution?" and detention centers are being built quicker than an eagle can take flight).
I see. You value order and conformity over justice and constitutionality, and things over people. Thank you for answering my questions and helping me understand your point of view.
Are you now saying that the threat of spray paint justifies deploying the military, at a cost of yet to be determined many millions of dollars, in DC? Not to mention, the personal toll to all the service members who are being pulled away from their families and jobs over this potential spray paint?
A few monuments were graffitied during those protests. Also, on Jan. 6, 2021, a mob, deliberately stoked to violence by the president, stormed the capitol building, beating police, committing extensive property damage and attempting to overturn the results of a democratic election. Totally samesies!
Nope, that's you 😁
The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities
The President does not have the authority to regulate elections This is yet another attempt to prevent citizens from exercising their right to vote. www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...
Yes, I'm aware of the fake reasons for the so-called 'emergency' that's not happening.
Even if that's true (you provide zero evidence), does that justify deploying the National Guard?
"The one thing an abuser cannot abide is something that interferes with his ongoing favorable self-regard. An abuser can never do wrong. He can only be wronged. An abuser always has to be both the hero and the victim of his own story. An abuser will always try to impose his reality upon reality."
Thanks Croix Valley Indivisible for organizing yesterday’s rally against WCCO, our local CBS affiliate, that recently referred to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America during a news broadcast! Democracy depends on an unbiased media that doesn’t cave to authoritarian tactics.
These “DC elites shouldn’t deny crime” takes are so…did you just land here from the moon. First of all who are you talking about. Second of all the point isn’t that there is no crime, it’s that Trump is clearly describing a fictional dystopia for political gain while making our real city less safe.

The White House’s official X account has a long thread in which they’ve posted pictures of people arrested during the feds’ occupation of the city. Every single person in the thread is a person of color.
I'm going to publish the entirety of an exchange I just had with the press office of the DOJ. I want you to see how they are talking about truth.

Fun Getaway With Murderous Dictator Just What Exhausted Trump Been Needing

holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second
Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car. BIG crowd of people shouting at police. "Fuck you!" "What is wrong with you!" "You don't need to terrorize people like this!"

This farmer lost $250k of revenue because of ICE raids
📌It's amazing how little attention this is getting, when it's crystal clear these anti-American, fascist Republicans would prefer nobody ever voted again. Pretend what the unrelenting backlash would have been had ANYBODY in the Biden administration posted this.
Trump: "The crime numbers [in D.C.] get worse." Official statistics: Violent crime in D.C. is at a 30-year low. The Trump regime is inventing lies to justify military control over our cities. It's what dictators do.
It's taken the New York Times a decade to finally realize how the far right works. They amplify a handful of random posts by nobodies as a characterization of the entire left and then get outraged by it. That in turn drives media coverage and takes over the media cycle for weeks.
It's wild (as well as wildly incorrect) that you think that being a union member is incompatible with being a good employee.
Did you know Pete Hegseth's little brother is a high-ranking official within the Department of Homeland Security? And now he's trying to get his big bro to implement a plan to use the Pentagon to militarize U.S. law enforcement under the guise of immigration enforcement. And we thought L.A. was bad.
Corruption. Chaos. Cruelty. #USDemocracy
Everything trad wife influencers are selling is a pack of lies and even plenty of conservative women can see that. They just won't call it out because MAGA conservatives need lies to support their vile cause.
