As Americans, it's important for us to remember NO mass shooter has EVER acted ALONE…

Every one has been assisted by 220 House Representatives, 53 Senators, 6 Supreme Justices, 1 President, and endless NRA blood money.

Hold EVERYONE accountable…not just the person who pulled the trigger.

Guilty.

Imagine your precious child, a high schooler, goes out to walk the dog & never comes back.

The reason: he gets abducted by #ICE who just release the dog.

Neighbors rescue the dog & return it with the news of #ICELawless.
Your son's detained for months in brutal conditions.

The UAE is funneling weapons into Sudan’s brutal civil war — yet the Trump administration went around Congress to sell $1.4 billion in helicopters and fighter jets to the country.

We cannot continue indirectly contributing to this genocide. These arms sales must end.

This is a textbook case of political asylum.
In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.

He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.

Heng Guan is awaiting an immigration hearing on Monday that could lead to his removal from the U.S. and ultimately land him back in China, according to his lawyer and a New York-based activist group.

House Intel Chair Rick Crawford on why he doesn't want video of the second Sept 2 boat strike released: "What the trained eye can detect from these videos may reveal sources and methods that would imperil troops." (But releasing video of the first strike didn't?)

This new Politico poll should stop us all in our tracks!

50% of Americans are struggling to afford groceries, let’s start there. Then add the fact that we have a president who thinks we’re lying about it.

I’m just waiting for the next poll that asks, “Does the president care about people like me?”

Imagine risking everything for your country…
only to be met with violence from ICE. Brutalized by the very government you served.

George Retes deserved better. America deserves better. 💔
