A U.S. citizen on their way to work abducted by ICE then locked in a basement, with federal government employees refusing to consider indisputable proof of citizenship. Congress endorses it. SCOTUS keeps thwarting judges from even slowing it. What more is there to say? We live under fascism now.

This is so infuriating. I'm not mad at the person, because we can all be conned. I'm mad at everyone and every platform that has supported and amplified these "wellness" narratives to all our detriment. Vaccines save lives. We know this. And no decision is perfect and without risk.
