This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

This is Willing. She recently learned that sitting gets her a treat and now follows her human around popping a squat every few feet. Can't blame her for being an overachiever. 12/10 (TT: adoptdurham)

ICE-Gestapo has murdered yet another person, this time in Maine, 26 year old father from Colombia Joan Sebastian Guerrero. He was authorized to work in the US and he was issued a social security number. ICE aren’t agents, they are terrorist killers.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van. Gift link in reply.

Congress cannot stand by while these powerful tech companies write the rules themselves.    We’ve seen this movie before. Lawmakers spent the last two decades playing catch-up to social media giants, and our children are now paying the price. (1/2)
