Congress must oppose additional funding for DHS without provisions that ensure accountability for ICE’s violence and an end to the deadly masked patrols in our streets. Send an email to demand accountability: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...
I never respond to right-wing trolls or antisemites, but I've come up with a new standard response to obnoxious comments from fellow Dems: I'm surprised you feel comfortable being that nasty to someone you don't know who posted something innocuous.
I want to know Secretary Noem's plan to stop masked ICE and CBP agents from killing American citizens like Renee Good and Alex Pretti. We can enforce our immigration laws without terrorizing American citizens and immigrant communities.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
Is this bad? It seems bad.

You're welcome!
By the 60s, Parker lived alone in NYC. She followed the Civil Rights movement with great interest & made sure her will reflected it, leaving her entire estate to a man she had never met: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. As stipulated in her will, the estate was passed to the NAACP on Dr. King's death.
In the 1930s, Parker’s focus was drawn to Europe, as anti-Semitism swept Germany. She was instrumental in founding the Hollywood Anti-Nazi League to spread the word about Hitler.
Parker was also involved in raising defense funds for the Scottsboro Boys, nine African American teenagers who were falsely accused of raping two women in Alabama.
When she was in Hollywood and finally earning enough money to afford a luxurious lifestyle, she fought for the fledgling Screen Writers Guild, to help the writers who didn’t have her clout with the notorious studio executives.
In 1927, Italian immigrant anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti were charged with murder and sentenced to death by a judge with a political ax to grind. Unable to bear the miscarriage of justice, Parker traveled to Boston to protest the execution, and was arrested. (She was later released with a $5 fine.)
In honor of Women's History Month, I'm reposting these 5 examples of Dorothy Parker's political activities...

Children are dying of measles and this wormbrained macho fucker spends his days staging fake workout photos.
I have a zero tolerance policy for anyone posting lies about Hillary Clinton. That's all. I won't be taking questions at this time.
