No human is illegal.

ICE detention facilities present public health issues due to overcrowding, inadequate medical care, and the spread of communicable diseases, which can lead to preventable deaths, worsening chronic illnesses, and significant mental health problems for detainees. These conditions also have spillover effects on the broader community, as fear of raids can deter people from obtaining or continuing employment, getting basic necessities and from seeking healthcare.

The number of people detained by ICE has increased by 40% compared to 2024, marking the highest daily population (>56,000) of immigrant detention in U.S. history, with some detention facilities operating at over 3 times operational capacity.

20 people have died in ICE custody so far this year.

🎀It’s breast cancer awareness month and early detection saves lives.

✅Do monthly self-exams

✅Schedule your annual mammogram screenings starting at age 40 for average risk people. If you have other factors putting you at high risk you may be advised to start earlier. Speak to your health care provider if you are not sure what category you fall into.

Contrary to what the president and the health secretary said in their disastrous press conference, the official letter to physicians from the FDA admits the data suggesting a link between acetaminophen in pregnancy and the development of autism have NOT BEEN PROVEN TO BE CAUSAL. Of course there is an association - practically only medication we are allowed to take while pregnant is Tylenol. It’s like saying drinking water causes autism because every pregnant person drinks it.

In 2025, the United States is facing its largest measles outbreak in over thirty years. As of now CDC has confirmed 1,333 measles cases.
That’s the highest annual number since measles was declared eliminated in the U.S. back in the year 2000.

To keep measles from returning for good,
we need to act now.
💉If you or your children haven’t been vaccinated, talk to your doctor.
💉If your child is overdue for a dose, make an appointment today.
📋if you’re unsure, check your records
🩸or you can ask for a titer test to check for immunity

We stopped measles before.
And we can do it again!

Hating on “Big Pharma”? Cool, it’s only a $1.6 trillion regulated industry. But hang on…the $6.3 trillion wellness industry sells you mushroom tea, dewormers, crash diets, and alkaline water—no regulations, no oversight. But hey, it’s ‘natural,’ right?
