We need a #PeoplesVaccine.

WATCH - Portland Police officers knock a protester off of his bicycle and arrest him outside of Lownsdale Square Park near the Federal Courthouse downtown #LiveOnK2
An arrest carried out by what seems like federal officers from a grey unmarked minivan. These 2 individuals did not identify themselves as law enforcement officers. #PortlandProtest#PDXprotest#BLM
A peaceful protester in Portland was shot in the head by one of Donald Trump’s secret police. Now Trump and Chad Wolf are weaponizing the DHS as their own occupying army to provoke violence on the streets of my hometown because they think it plays well with right-wing media.

For Native Americans, the “American dream” has been a nightmare. “Established in” signs erase the history of Indigenous people who managed those lands for thousands of years before it was stolen, their treaties broken, their families killed.

Navajo Nation has tested 8% of the total Navajo population (>20,000 people), 4X the rate of the US. Congratulations for stepping into this gap and leading, @NNPrezNez and all health worker colleagues. HEAL is proud to work alongside you. #COVID19
