Let us all demand that every I.C.E. agent involved in the killings of Victor Manuel Diaz, Renee Good, and Alex Pretti be named and investigated. There is no justice for these victims without accountability and truth.

Thank you for sharing the link to the Havdalah service. It was beautiful and much needed after the darkness of today's violence. May the memories of Victor Manuel Diaz, Renee Good, and Alex Pretti be a blessing ז''ל.

Save that tweet. The Border Patrol Union says that Alex Pretti "brandishes" his handgun. That is a lie.

Mitch won't say anything, and neither will Bill Cassidy, but I will. Some of my great aunts and uncles were ravaged by polio—and my grandfather, their brother, suffered from mild polio afflictions. This horrible disease was all but eliminated thanks to vaccines... until now. Anger is my only word.
