A tomahawk missile costs the taxpayers the same amount of money as one five-year major NIH research grant. Remember that every time they tell us one of those missed the target, blew up paintings of enemy aircraft or tanks, or was the fifth and unnecessary hit on the same target.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill herβ€”and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

My heart goes out to our Olympic athletes right now β€” as they attempt to navigate an extremely difficult time to be an American on the world stage.

Trump is the worst of America.
These elite athletes are the best.

We can stand with them and against him at the same time. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

No. We want ICE abolished. Done. Over. The perpetrators brought to trial and held accountable for their actions. You’re saying what YOU want. Don’t put words in my mouth.

The Historic 1910 Ross Farm Barn is gone - Ross Farm Mercantile I suppose I should say something. It’s on the news now so everyone will know. My personal version of hell keeps expanding. Last night around 11pm I got a call that the iconic big barn at the farm was ...

Ross Farm, on the national register of historic places, lost their circa 1910 barn last night, all their beautiful sheep, equipment, and so much more. Please donate if you can, please share widely. Amy Ross Manko needs all the help we can offer her right now.

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day

Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.

They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.

My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since.

That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

They like cops so much that all we’re getting is cops. No roads, no bridges, no school funding, no culture money, just a bouquet of different types of cops

The issue with ICE is not training, the issue with ICE is that it fundamentally should not exist. The violence is the purpose

I had this discussion with a friend the other day. The founding fathers OWNED PEOPLE (slaves) and yet I feel none of them were as evil as this current bunch. How is that even possible?

So it's appropriate to arrest a world leader if you consider them criminal? You can just go get them? Just asking questions here.
