When we started UNFTR we put one person in our crosshairs. As a socioeconomics outlet, Milton Friedman was an obvious nemesis for us as we're living in the world he created. But not the one he designed. It's complicated. Anyway, each year on June 10 we celebrate #FMF Fuck Milton Friedman Day.

The Trump Admin is delaying a Biden-era rule to test for unsafe levels of forever chemicals in drinking water, which can harm a child's health & development. I offered an amendment to the defense authorization bill to require PFAS tests & repairs at schools and childcare centers on military bases.

They wanted max cruelty. Shock and awe for the cameras. But all they did was traumatize a bunch of poor kids who’ll never forget it. An L.A. mom, US citizen, watched as unmarked vehicles rolled up. Masked, heavily armed ICE agents, guns drawn. And Cosplay Kristi Noem right there playing warlord!
