Nurul Amin Shah Alam crossed oceans to flee unimaginable violence, only to die here — where he should have been safe.

The cruelty is endless.

I grew up with Alex Pretti The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

Great. Everything is so fucked that somehow I agree with Greenwald.

He nails it here, though.

Please share. 💔

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Excellent question.

The damage this man has done is incalculable.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Paxton tells Texas schools to follow Ten Commandments law despite court ruling Attorney General Ken Paxton's guidance comes days after U.S. District Judge Fred Biery sided with 16 families who sued their school districts to stop the law from going into effect.

My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery."

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"

“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.”

Listen to the survivors.

No lies told here.

California has walked the walk on independent redistricting at the state level for 15 years.

But we cannot unilaterally disarm while other states throw out the rules to gain power.

With one vote, Californians can punch back and also demand nationwide independent redistricting.

Trees communicate with each other. Everything is connected. Everything.

What happened yesterday at the WH was an INTERVENTION,

but TACO and his minions are too stupid to understand that.

They think the global leaders came here to cheer and listen to that asshole.

They came her to CONTAIN him.

16-year-old Corion Evans didn’t think twice when he saw a car full of teens sink into the Pascagoula River.
He pulled 3 girls to safety, then swam back to save a struggling police officer too.
That’s not a headline.
That’s a hero. 💙

Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.

Do not let up on this Epstein list not only because orange dude is on it, but because anyone on it is a predator and those victims still deserve justice.

All of this.
