If you want to stay home to raise babies, you should be able to do so. But not everyone wants to do that and THAT's THE POINT. Folks should be able to do what they want AND importantly THE RESOURCES should exist to support those choices. That's the part that these ghouls elide.

ABOLISH ICE. No compromise.
abolish ice. theres no middle road on this and democrats will have to be held to it.
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

The hottest take I've ever seen on It's a Wonderful Life (1946) and I wrote a book that starts and ends with it and Capra's work more broadly as a political love letter from an immigrant to the promises America made to him. Fire.
And for the record, Mr. Martini, the Italian immigrant who Mr. Potter disgustingly disparaged as a “garlic eater,” and who received a chance for a decent home from the Bailey Business& Loan, is essentially the stand-in for the forbears of ppl like ICE enforcer Greg Bovino (Italian-American).

The VP of the US can give a speech saying no one has to be ashamed to be white anymore — the type of mainstream political speech we haven’t seen since before the civil rights acts, and the rhetoric is treated as merely divisive with few pointing out the obvious truth that white men remain in power.

Fuck this country. Absolutely disgraceful. No elected official deserves a moment of peace until they make significant change to stop the tragic death of children.
This beautiful child's death and blood is on the hands of every single elected official in this country that has refused to deal with the realities of and strategies to prevent gun violence.
He was clearly a blessing in life, and may his memory be a blessing in death.

This.
I see grassroots groups putting up a fight, doing the work locally, but there are some issues that require national organization, like health care. So, yes, I think Democrats, as the party claiming to want to lead the country, should have a plan. Instead they are voting to hurt trans kids.

Wow, guys. It’s cheaper to use tax dollars to cover the cost of bus drivers/maintenance, etc. than it is to pay a bunch of cops to stand around on their phones and harass people. Crazy.
It would be great if more politicians meaningfully considered whether transit fares are worth their costs.
