STITCH INCOMING What they're not telling you about the Cyclospora outbreak

There's something they're not telling you about the new Cyclospora outbreak. 1.3 million of you saw that video, so here's hoping this gets a fraction of that amount of attention. In that video, I talked about how it is crucial to put the Cyclospora outbreak in context and the context is that in 2025, the CDC had their budget cut by $600 million. Thus limiting the amount of tracking that they can do of pathogens and diseases. Today in Biddeford, Maine, ICE shot and murdered a 26-year-old Colombian man who was in his vehicle. The man had a partner and a young child. He was here with a work permit, legally. This has been confirmed by immigrant rights groups in Maine. Last week, ICE agents murdered Lorenzo Salgado in Houston. Now, remember context. Now like what I said in the other video, what matters is who has the money and what it is being allocated for. So the CDC, the largest public health body in the United States, lost $600 million of funding in 2025. And in 2026, the Senator of Maine, Susan Collins, voted to give $70 billion to ICE. The $70 billion measure passed 52-47 after an overnight session which lasted more than 18 hours to ICE. So there's not enough money for universal healthcare, there's not enough money for student loan forgiveness, there's not enough money for paid family medical leave, there's not enough money for raising the minimum wage to above $7.25 an hour at the federal level. But there is enough money to empower racist to murder people on the streets. This is why our tax dollars are going. If you live in Maine, I am begging you to make a plan to vote in November so that we can get this evil fucking bitch out of office.
