Nativists love to talk about the costs of immigrants, but each ICE agent is making $213,000 in total compensation to destroy our rights, freedoms, families, friendships, neighborhoods, and economies. Worse than a "welfare queen." It'd be better to pay them to stay home.

If you live in or you know anyone in Tennessee’s 7th district, TODAY is the LAST day to vote early.
And tell everyone you know who hasn’t voted that it is all about turnout next Tuesday. We need as many people showing up to the polls. We can do this.

Hollywood loves our trauma. Black actors are more likely to win awards when playing roles tied to slavery, servitude, or trauma.
Lupita Nyong’o opens up about what happened after her Oscar win. Hollywood kept offering her more parts as an enslaved woman, pushing the same stereotype again and again.

Wonder how long that scumbag has been on the Russian payroll? In any case the so called ‘peace plan’ is bullshit …. It’s a land grab and a power play for Putin and Trump. This regime’s betrayal of Ukraine is breathtaking.

America is a banana republic with levels of corruption nobody has ever seen before. Under Trump America has the best corruption ever. Nobody does it better than Trump. I now have tears in my eyes....
Once again Republicans in state offices cover up the corruption and sleaze of Trump and his minions. This is a travesty for the rule of law.
… and I’m trying really really hard not to cuss and cry all over this post.
Democracy remains under attack. We need to continue to fight back.

For fifty years the wealthy in the country have planned for a day when their coconspirators were in power and finally, the tax system supporting democracy will fail. Republicans will transform America into a third-world fascist regime with the most advanced military in history. What could go wrong?
