If you don't live in a "swing state," your vote counts less. But we can reform the Electoral College and fix that. Since we made this video, Maine and now Virginia have joined the National Popular Vote compact. Here's what you need to know. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXPwJqSdLfE

here's one that Helen mentioned bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump: "The US can't take of daycare. That has to be up to a state. We're fighting wars. Medicaid, Medicare -- they can do it on a state basis. We have to take care of one thing: military protection. But all these little scams that have taken place, you have to let states take care of them."

I'm praying for the safety of thousands of San Diego-based troops heading to the Middle East– but we shouldn't be putting their lives at risk for this reckless, expensive war in the first place.

He wasn't just an asylum seeker. Paktyawal was an Afghan special forces soldier who worked with the U.S. Army's 3rd Special Forces Group. He was evacuated on August 30, 2021, entered the U.S. legally and had a pending case with a work permit and social security number. Killed by ICE maggots.

I just visited Dilley and met with kids who are too scared and traumatized to eat and go to the bathroom – let alone play. It’s horrific and should alarm everyone in our country. We can’t let them do this in our name. We need to shut down Dilley.

BREAKING🚨 This 16-year-old boy was beaten bloody & given a serious head injury by ICE for merely video taping! I'm sure just like in the story below about Alberto Mondragon who's skull they fractured in 8 places & Alex Pretti who they shot in cold blood, they will lie about this, too! ABOLISH ICE!
ICE says a handcuffed man w/ no criminal record got 8 skull fractures running into a wall. Doctors disagree. Hospitals encrypt messages; patients fear getting care. HOSPITALS ARE NOT SAFE Call Senators. Demand investigations. Stop funding this. Keep protesting and filming ICE. ✊🏼

I'm afraid for her too. First thing I thought when she bravely stepped up to share what she saw. This is where we're at folks. Hiding from our own government because the people heading the regime are off the rails psychotic & elected Republican officials refuse to do the right thing.

This Republican law cut healthcare and nutrition programs for hard-working Americans in order to give the wealthiest Americans massive tax breaks and fund these tent cities and the gestapo-like tactics we are seeing across the country that target U.S. citizens and legal residents.
