I feel like a little blue Gen X dragonfly born on a lake that is populated by red critters who consume right-wing propaganda all the live-long day and stubbornly recite talking points that are at odds with their own reality and values.

“We are fed up with ICE & DHS telling us lies… NO MORE TRAFFIC STOPS BY ICE.” Wilber’s lawyer says he was sideswiped and shot by ICE without any clue who they even were — and ICE then immediately lied about what happened (again)

Trump’s ICE thugs shot 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez through his car window as he was delivering food yesterday in Austin, Texas. His wife and lawyer were reportedly denied access to see him in the hospital, and ICE is now trying to deport him. This violence must end. Abolish ICE.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Reminder! This election is not only about whether we keep our democracy, but also whether or not our beautiful country ends up being destroyed by greed! A vote for any member of the GOP is a vote for destruction of the environment! Photo: Colorado Rockies Photographer: Michael J. Bauer

Obama: “Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps. You’re laughing, but this is what’s happening. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent right now would have tolerated behavior like that from me.” Clip courtesy @meidastouch.com

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.
