I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This is so much money! 😡 Imagine what our schools could've done if they didn't have to fight off book bans and other culture wars. I'm glad someone did the math to show how much this hurts our kids and teachers. You can read a full report at the link. social.redwine.blue/s/0sIqrRCB

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I will fight for every woman and girl in this state all while refusing to bare my own demons to the jackasses in suits who sit and smirk at survivors during hearings. The legislators who scroll on their phones while a survivor recounts a gang rape.

F'ck them.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

The SAVE Act is a solution in search of a problem.

There's no evidence of widespread voter fraud & states have systems in place to prevent noncitizens from voting.

This is nothing but a thinly veiled attempt to suppress votes & maintain the GOP's grip on power.

This is how Republicans constantly cheat to remain in power. The attempt to overthrow the North Carolina election of Justice Allison Riggs is a prime example.
