Trump's lawyers ADMITTED to STEALING money from blue states, just because they didn’t vote for him. I am demanding every last cent be restored. This isn’t Trump’s money. These are taxpayer dollars and I won’t let this kind of lawless corruption stand.
The conditions at ICE’s Dilley Trailer Prison are nightmarish. Worm-infested food, dirty drinking water, and cruel family detention. We must put an end to this child abuse and hold the Trump Administration accountable for the trauma it has caused. #ShutDownDilley

Isn't it weird that this week a currently sitting president had to pay a woman MILLIONS of dollars for *raping* (and defaming) her—and the media has forgotten all about it? There was a time that this would have been the ONLY story—until the rapist was driving from office.
I was always gonna boycott the Harry Potter TV series but I would urge anyone on the fence to stop engaging with the franchise as long as JKR is using her proceeds to fund her continued attacks on trans people and allies. Reheated nostalgia slop just isn’t worth it.
ICE has killed another person. This pattern of violence and blatant disregard for human life cannot continue. There must be a full, independent investigation into every single death involving ICE, and accountability for all crimes committed by its thugs.
NBC News@nbcnews.com · 3w agoNEW: Investigators are looking into an ICE-involved shooting incident in Maine in which a 26-year-old Colombian man who was authorized to work in the U.S. was killed. DHS has not yet commented on the incident.
A scalding, blistering judicial opinion calling out Trump’s sham litigation, striking down his corrupt IRS immunity, and holding his sycophant lawyers to account. That’s a good start. Impeachment is next.

Two defendants who received 50 years each, Savanna Batten and Elizabeth Soto, were never accused of helping plan the demonstration here. They arrived separately, left the protest when guards asked them to, and were not accused of any act of violence talkingpointsmemo.com/news/prairie...

Back in February, I asked a Trump nominee about this EXACT possibility & he dodged my questions. Just as I said back then, this whole process is corrupt to its core. Trump's admin is effectively trying to boost his own family's tainted crypto company. Unprecedented corruption.
