The Senate bill is rooted in the idea that we just need to get BP/ICE "back to" only terrorizing people we deem worthy of being terrorized, and not White people. The exact problematic understanding people have been trying to warn against... While a lot of White people insisted that concern was silly

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

ICE agents in Colorado have been leaving ace of spades cards behind when they detain someone, a psychological warfare technique the United States Armed Forces used against its mortal enemies during the Vietnam War. If you do not think Donald Trump is at war with his country, think again.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

It's open enrollment season, where the hard-working American needs to decide whether to make enough money to afford rent, or make less money to be eligible for low-cost healthcare. #Healthcare #ACA #poor

I had my "mid-life crisis" at 27, so I assumed that meant I would be dead by 54. But here I am at 58. Things are starting to fall apart but I've already gone 4 years beyond my expiration date so who knows. 🤷‍♀️

I watch a lot of police body camera footage of drunk drivers being stopped and arrested. I cannot believe how crazy and obnoxious they act, even after being told they are being recorded. I wonder if they ever feel contrite after seeing the footage of their behavior on YouTube? Probably not.

America keeps getting better and better, but not for you and me.

About 10 million people, mostly Medicaid recipients, will lose access to health insurance and 2.4 million fewer people per month will participate in a federal food aid program under the GOP's massive tax cut and spending law, the Congressional Budget Office said Monday. ✍️: Jacob Fischler

To be clear: he doesn’t care about crime, he cares about control. He’s a convicted felon. And if he cared about crime he would’ve deployed the National Guard on January 6th. This is all about him. Like everything else.

I hope Erin Barnett reads the transcript in this article and realizes how often she says, "right." It's so annoying to me, I had to stop watching her show years ago.

Writing a "Missed Connection" ad, but for all of my missed bids for connections with him. At some point I'll quit trying to connect and stop the insanity, right?

A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it. (1/2)
