People having a lot of trouble understanding how Dems behave as a party don’t understand the Democratic Party.

It’s not a party united by ideology—like the GOP mostly is—it’s a bunch of constituencies in a basic (democratic) bargain: votes for government programs that benefit them.

I reread all of them in order about a year ago, & they are more fun together bc they get mixed quality but the overlaps are great and loose

I grew up in a town where every elementary history tour included Underground Railroad hideouts in every house we went to

This is so dystopic

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

I realize we're all distracted by a lot of other things right now, but I was still shocked by just how little coverage this got. I hardly saw any other media sources write about it. So I had to write about it myself.

Wen should direct more attention to incidents like these because Americans are more likely to respond to brutality to pets than to brutality to human beings.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.
