Rep Casten: Yesterday ICE murdered an American citizen. What kind of monster shoots an unarmed fleeing woman in the head?
What kind of monster watches that video & chooses to defend the murderer & defame the victim?
Our job is not to bear their sins. It's to make sure this never happens again.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

The number of Gestapo in Germany was 32,000. The population was 70 million. That's one Gestapo for every 2200 citizens.
The number of ICE agents is 20,000. The population of the US is 348 million. That's one ICE agent for every 17,000 citizens.
There are more of us.

Five years ago today, the Thug-In-Chief Donald Trump, led an insurrection against the United States. He was impeached by Dems in the House, but Senate Republicans - led by Mitch McConnell - had NO GUTS and chose not to convict.

MAGA republicans are now pretending to care about Venezuelans after recently praising the orange felon for deporting many of them back to Venezuela knowing full well their lives were in danger. MAGA is an idiotic racist death cult.

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

"It's A Wonderful Life" isn't just a feel-good holiday classic (and my favorite movie of all time).
It's also a warning about what happens when greed runs the economy.
