AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Put the blame where it belongs--Congress--both political parties have been failing Americans for decades. No business regulations with teeth. No taxes for the 1%. Lost our civil, reproductive, and voting rights. We need an FDR-candidate, not political parties controlled by the oligarchy&corpocracy.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

The Trump plan is to put money from Venezuelan oil sales into offshore accounts?
Sounds like a slush fund for Trump’s worst impulses and more evidence that his only concern is enriching himself and his big oil donors.

The moment I became the Joker
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.
