ICE causes man to wreck while his children are in the car, then tries to pry his kids from his arms. They got the wrong guy. Toward the end of the video, an ICE officer says law requires the person recording to back up 25 feet and threatens with pepper spray. (There is no 25-foot law.)

I spent last night writing about Trump's waterfront land grab in DC. Things are crazier than I thought, and MAGA has the National Park Service seriously gaslighting the public over it. 🧵
Translation: If the government turns on him, he's finished.

This is exactly what vouchers are designed to do. Never forget- scratch a book banner, find a legislator who's working with the anti-public education dark money crowd. Bc it's hard to sell: I don't believe poor ppl deserve an education. But it's easy to sell: public schools are grooming your kids.
ProPublica@propublica.org · yesterdayPublic school enrollment was declining in West Virginia even before its voucher program was established. But things have only gotten worse.

Are people on the left the only ones not allowed to probe & gauge where candidates are at while power & status quo are offered that privilege infinitely? The people most likely to be harmed by continuance of this crap just have to hope as candidates are making verbal promises to sell us out daily?
Everyone talks about ‘purity tests’ with the left but what the fuck are endless questions about made up stuff like border security & protecting girls in sports & do you support more police & do you denounce Hasan & do you condemn Hamas are these not purity tests? They are definitely Fealty Tests.
