ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Yes well I finally had to trade in my super fancy electric toothbrush (gave it to my son) for one with no frownie faces. Too disturbing every time I failed.

The Conservative Activist Pushing Trump to Attack U.S. Colleges - Listen on NYT Audio 46 min listen - Christopher Rufo has helped inspire Republican messaging and bills on hot-button issues.

Know your enemy: well worth listening to this podcast from NYT: www.nytimes.com/audio/app/20.... The guy is a Leninist playing from Lenin’s playbook How to Get Things Done. And gives himself credit for Lenin’s ideas. Plagiarism at its finest. The irony.

Go Harvard! Yale, where are you?

"The AAUP offers clear leadership in defending science in academia. Joining the AAUP is a step all faculty members can take today to defend the future of scientific discovery."

The Dems should go out into all the communities and help these folks with their SS claims to win back all these people especially in the rural communities. Great way to do grass roots outreach.
