Hopeful but Angry

Texas Dem. Not staying silent. Will fight the good fight. Knitter, sailor, grandmother.

Maine is in absolute outrage! Protesters took over Senator Susan Collins’ office chanting "VOTE HER OUT" after an ICE thug brutally executed a 26-year-old Colombian man. We demand immediate accountability for this state-sponsored murder! Enough is enough!

I have insomnia so it seems I have more hours in the day to worry about all the nonsense going on with our country. Every morning I listen to Lawrence and Jen Psaki. I wonder how long we’ll be able to hear their voices of reason before they’re cut off. I just want to scream “somebody do something!”

I live in La Porte,Texas and today starts early voting. In trying to find my voting location, I found a complicated website that makes it VERY difficult to find my voting place. As it turns out, the dems and republicans can’t agree on a location in my town. I will go to another Harris County site.

After listening to the testimony of ICE victims, those agents should be arrested. They need to shut down every detention center and ICE. You can’t retrain wild animals. I am in tears - this is worse than Hitlers SS.

Liam is in ICE custody and his health is deteriorating. Joaquin Castro says Liam is depressed, lethargic, sleeping excessively and barely eating, repeatedly asking about his mom, and when he can go home. He’s withdrawn and not the bright preschooler he was just days ago. LIAM NEEDS A DOCTOR 1/2

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

A reminder that Liam Ramos, the son of legal residents in Minnesota, is still being held in a Texas prison. A five year old little boy - and America’s global reputation - now scarred for life. (📸 Ali Daniel’s/AP)

Little Liam Ramos stood facing an ICE vehicle with his cartoon blue wooly hat. A state-sponsored terrorist ICE agent is holding him by his rucksack.

My daughter works for a small company and is losing her healthcare. She has chronic kidney stones and gets weekly mental health therapy. She has come so far in the past year and now it’s gone. I know others are suffering in worse ways but this devastating for us. Shame on our government and Trump.
