Twin Cities based actor. 2016 elections activated me on Twitter. Went there to listen to/amplify the heart of the Democratic Party, Black Women. Guess this is the next evolution. (He/Him/His)

1) If you are outside the United States and you desire to weaken our power and influence, there is a simple calculus to it.
I love people. I just do. I adore us. We’re terribly frustrating, but I can’t help myself. Even so, I can’t imagine thinking that destroying capitalism or whatever actually fixes all that much. One variable remains in place and it’s us. We STILL have to figure out how to regulate the worst in us.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

That these memes seemed to work really underscores what a tremendous own goal it was for leftists to validate their logic.
Harris said the word "lethal" in her DNC speech; meanwhile Trump had a tremendously bloody record as *President.*
But a lot of online influencers only emphasised the former.

I don’t want folks to forget She held on as long as she could but will never see justice for what this country did to her.
Keep talking about her and the Tulsa Massacre because too many want to pretend like these folks don’t exist or it was a long time ago.

Folks are dunking on this but honestly whatever you think of the man he has a point - capitalism did not create oppression, and what we had before capitalism was not freer for the majority of people.

“Capitalism forces you to wake up at 7am against your body’s natural rhythms” no that’s Taylorism and if you don’t like living in a society that coordinates effort to ensure a better outcome for all then I don’t think you’ll love the alternatives

Oversight Dems have launched the Immigration Enforcement Dashboard to record possible misconduct during immigration operations by the Trump Administration.
It archives harmful actions against U.S. citizens and immigrants nationwide so we can hold this Administration accountable.

Is it just me, or does the conservative idea of law enforcement always hurt the most vulnerable, disenfranchised, and most marginalized the most?
ICE is trapping people in abusive relationships, and more generally, making immigrants afraid to assert legal rights and ask for help that they are very much entitled to. (Noting that this is not new, for example there's history of agricultural workers threatened with la migra for speaking out!)
How ICE’s Crackdown Hurts Immigrant Victims of Domestic Violence
Increased enforcement and Trump’s policy changes are causing some people to remain in abusive relationships rather than risk deportation, experts say.

I should also note that if 250,000 more people in PA/MI/WI had filled in a little bubble on a ballot, she would be President right now and everyone would be talking about how brilliantly she pulled off running an entire successful Presidential campaign in just 107 days, an absolutely Herculean task.
