this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)
ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.

Watching Dems leave rhetorical windows open for continuing to fund the Chud Gestapo would be Jokerfying if I weren’t already quite Jokerfied.
We need a new constitutional order that prevents a president from waging domestic war on his political enemies, not some tweaks like mask bans and body cams.

If the tables ever turn, every single one of these corporations should be seized, nationalized or dismantled and sold off. We will never be rid of their influence if we don't take away their power.
Giant corporations are donating millions to Donald Trump's ballroom vanity project while they have business in front of his administration.
