For the past five months the only refugees the USA has accepted are white South Africans fleeing equality & safety meanwhile they are disappearing or strapping ankle monitors on any Haitian they can get ahold of. It needs to be understood how thoroughly connected these two things are.
I seem to recall a Dem president attempting not once not twice but three times to cancel student debt. But don’t let facts get in the way of your fantasy. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Farmers must be protected from deadly heat. Working people musn’t be forced to collapse at work while protections & safety enforcements are rolled back. We need water, breaks, shade & real protections! Climate change is a labor issue & we’re fighting to make sure worker safety is never optional.

The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

I made this at the time he was arrested. Not ONE journalist called bullshit when all of them knew the truth. Just like everybody knew that the case was going to be dismissed. Every day, I hate the corporate media more and more. They can shove their 'access' up their collective asses. All traitors.
These women are being held in the Brasile South Louisiana I.C.E. Processing Facility.🚨 Some have been there for months, separated from their families. One woman was recently put in solitary confinement for releasing a prior video. Multiple reports of abuse from male #ICE agents. Spread the word.

Corporate spending on elections has already topped $500 million this year. That's one third of the $1.58 billion in total that corporations have spent since Citizens United in 2010. Hawaii and Montana both have plans to neutralize this disastrous SCOTUS ruling. Other states must get on board.

This is a massive scandal. Not "should be," but "is."
Every day, this Administration unlocks new levels of corruption never thought possible. At a time when families are struggling to stay afloat, they’re being denied jobs and opportunities by their president because of their political views.
I just want to point out a simple fact that seems to have eluded way too many people: There is not a woman playing sports anywhere in the entire world that is being threatened by a trans woman of any kind, in any way. It's all bullshit. Stop pretending this is an issue we need to address.
I wrote about how immigration arrests are at all-time highs, even as ICE is trying to assume a lower public profile. How are they doing this? Look to your local police.
ICE’s Secret Weapon Is in Your Community
While attempting to maintain a relatively lower profile, ICE is managing to arrest record numbers of people. Here’s how it’s doing that.
