This crazy, sad, beautiful world will break your heart.

A young person who isn't a bit of an anarchist has no brains; an older person who isn't a socialist has no heart.

Every day the case for taxing billionaires and multimillionaires out of existence grows stronger. We should set a maximum wealth ceiling of $50 million per person. Globally. That’s more than enough for anyone.

In ICE detention camps, “disease and illness are rampant, mold grows on the walls, and detained individuals are denied sufficient food, clean drinking water, proper medical care, and disability accommodations”.

ICE is a scourge of humanity, and also of public health.

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

This is so embarrassing.

The cartel drones Pam Bondi was sounding the alarm about during the hearing turned out to be… party balloons.

This administration is so incompetent.

The DHS funding deadline is tomorrow — and a bill can’t pass without Democratic votes. We need Democrats to keep holding the line by refusing to fund DHS without ironclad limits on ICE and CBP, actual accountability for abuses, and clear guardrails to stop raids and intimidation. Let’s get to work.

Unhinged and unethical. And that’s just the beginning to describe Pamela Jo Bondi today before House Judiciary.

My take on the Trump DOJ’s failure to protect the victims and survivors of Epstein and Maxwell and how Bondi is choosing to protect pedophiles instead.

Let’s get real reforms at ICE, including making sure they can’t show up at polling places.

we know this, but a reminder: anytime ICE CBP etc says they’re drawing down their presence in a city, it’s bullshit. whatever their numbers, lawless federal agents remain behind & still cause havoc & kidnap people. Also relocated agents just go somewhere else to destroy lives. Abolish ICE end DHS
