A few years back, centrist Democrats & the Very Serious People mocked & dismissed the slogan ‘abolish ICE’.

Today’s actions are a reminder of how ICE is a rogue, lawless agency that is easily weaponized by an authoritarian administration & that it very much should be abolished.

A new report from @sanders.senate.gov finds that Americans in the top 1% of earners live seven years longer on average than Americans in the bottom 50%. 

Inequality is eating this country alive.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 
3) Donors make a huge profit. 
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.
