American Gestapo.
This is appalling. Again, Trump and ICE have had the option to deport Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica for weeks and weeks. They won't explain why they refuse to do this. But we know why: Because they've decided it isn't dehumanizing or cruel enough.

"Every single act of gun violence is 100% preventable."

Brown University student Mia Tretta talks about the fear and uncertainty of living through Saturday's mass shooting on campus. It was her second school shooting after she survived being shot in the stomach at age 15.

1. Measles is ravaging South Carolina.

Over 100 people infected, and hundreds more in quarantine.

In response, RFK Jr., the nation's top public health official, has been SILENT

But it's much worse than that. RFK Jr. and his allies are undermining confidence in the vaccine

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.

Praying for his full & speedy recovery.

And so deeply inspired by his example.

It’s stunning that an entire political party is willing to live with this and, worse, exploits efforts to prevent gun violence to hang on to power.

Sen. Jack Reed: "I must remind everyone that we follow the law of war, and because of that, we expect other countries. So that when our service members are in distress, they're not shot up in the water or if they're wounded, left to die. If we don't do it, then we can't expect other countries."

This is a massive cut to the VA. On top of a massive cut. And many of these cuts are also staffed by vets. It’s insult on top of injury. And Collins is the below-the-radar culture warrior hatchet man.

We spent decades after 9/11 creating hiring programs for vets.

Fiddler on the roof, but with ICE agents playing the part of Cossacks. I know people think of Fiddler as a heartwarming story about a funny man doing Ya-ba-dibba-dibbas, but it's literally about pogroms like this
Masked men wearing ICE vests—but who refused to present a warrant or identify themselves—roped off a construction site, trapping two men on a roof for hours in subzero temps. Protesters gathered.

Horrific mass shooting at Brown. Thinking of the victims and their families.

We simply do not have to live this way.

The failure to pass gun safety legislation is a moral stain & innocent Americans pay the price time and again.
