If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.
The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”
It’s about control.

Knew it was a great policy, and yet, “wow!” Much needed good news!
Seattle’s millionaire tax is a huge success. Here is how grassroots groups beat big money and are now raising tons of money for mixed income, rent stabilized housing. (We call it “social housing.”)

How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed?
That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.

ICE observers recording with phones are heroes, and are the reason we know the truth about the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
In public health, we make observations by collecting and analyzing data. But RFK Jr. is taking the equivalent of our “phone”. Without data, he can lie with abandon.

Bill Kristol is saying things I 100% agree with. No real conservative should support ICE any more. Today ICE killed a citizen who was legally carrying a handgun that he never touched. Then DHS blocked state patrol from conducting its standard investigation of the shooting scene. This must end.
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
