There is only one race, the human race. Be kinder than necessary. Even to those you don’t feel deserve it.
Journalists doing their job. Good to see.
Top two articles are about ICE abducting a 5 year old and a 2 year old.
Below that, news about a historically large protest and general strike.
Then articles detailing how ICE lies about their actions and how the White House makes/publishes fake images about the anti-ICE protests.

What do you want to bet that Trump daydreams about throwing his enemies out of hospital windows?

I am having such a hard time concentrating on telling stories about heroes and villains, while our world is burning down around us.
I’m told to compartmentalize, but how?? We’re well past the point where we can just keep our heads down and hope it all gets better.
I’m so frustrated.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

 I’m pretty sure this timeline is when we’re supposed to enact that well armed militia the NRA folks keep talking about in the second amendment.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

📌What I wrote one month ago:
"Anybody who thinks Trump is going to allow the release of any Epstein Files that incriminate him is completely delusional and has been in a blissful slumber the past 12 years.
What that is, is a COVER-UP and that’s the ONLY word that should be used going forward."

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.
If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.

This is called “chain refoulment” and it’s illegal under both U.S. and international law. And the State Department and ICE know very well what Ghana is doing and simply don’t care.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
