AOC: I said this a couple of weeks ago: I would not be surprised if, when ICE funding started up again, we would start to see more civilian deaths at the hands of ICE. And that’s exactly what has happened. We didn’t see things like this happening with the same degree when we froze ICE funding.

Giving billionaires and corporations the green light to buy our elections. Making it easier for polluters to destroy the planet. Stripping millions of reproductive freedom. Granting presidents immunity. Gutting the protections of the Voting Rights Act. The shame of the John Roberts court.
Still in Office. Still sundowning every late afternoon. Awake all night posting insanity, falling asleep all day the minute he sits down. Now he wants 2020 to 2024 wiped from memory and statute books. Still at war. Still a 79-year old serial sex-offender with frontotemporal dementia and shit veins.

C-SPAN caller to Rep. Pete Sessions: "Your party has given the power of the presidency to an insane, pedophelic serial killer"
Are you getting into the tournament this year, or just observing from a distance?
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
