This Needs To Stop!🛑
Peeps, you DO realize that our non-white friends and neighbors...are now carrying their birth certificates and passports so they can PROVE they are US citizens "just in case"?
There is NO version of America where this is OK. Defund ICE. Restore due process and rule of law.

I say his gently, but…
There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry.
Not because its government doesn’t fix it —
but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost.
That’s the part that sits wrong.

When student loan borrowers are in default, how does the Trump regime respond?
By garnishing their wages.
When billionaires see their wealth hit record highs, how does the Trump regime respond?
By extending their tax cuts.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

The person who made the decision to hold this story has never been a news reporter or a news editor. Really sickening.

The US is a “new” country built up with immigrants from everywhere.
With WW2, a lot more immigrants entered the country to escape fascist regimes or to escape threats of violence and war.
Now where are we?
In a fascist regime with threats of violence and war coming from the Putin-sponsored Felon.
