Fwiw 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8 are already required in law or policy and are not being followed so this is already half dead on arrival.

ICE's budget could fund the ACA (healthcare) extension and expand Medicaid to millions. Instead, it funds home invasions, family separation, and killing protesters. Republicans made this choice for you. Remember in November... #FundHealthcareOverICE

"About 500 seniors live at Sinai Residences in Boca Raton, Florida, including many Holocaust survivors. Recently, some of them asked if they could hide the buildingโ€™s Haitian staff in their apartments."

This broke me.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

For years, now...I've been amazed at the cowardice of many Democrats who treat pressuring the leaders in our own party as "taboo," or "sabotaging" the party. That is sheer ignorance, and a shirking of taking the actions taken by responsible citizens.

โ€œJust one more thing, sir. You said Epstein files a hoax, youโ€™re in them thousands of times. Affordability is a hoax, yet youโ€™re on an affordability tour. Tough on drugs, then freed a 400-ton trafficker. Law & order who pardoned 169 who assaulted cops. Frankly, Mrs. Columbo says youโ€™re a criminal.โ€

A party that truly cared about "life" would ensure everyone has healthcare. A party that truly cared about "safety" would stop terrorizing communities with ICE. Republicans fail both tests. #FundHealthcareStopICE

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, โ€œItโ€™s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?โ€ as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

On #MLKDay, the UFW remembers the legacy of a hero. #MLK's words are as powerful today as when he wrote them in 1958.

Thanks. We have folks in our community giving vulnerable students rides to school, and a teacher shared that they were putting small stuffed animals on their dashboards to help kids identify safe cars. ICE picked up on it and started doing the same. Horrifying.

A large Congressional delegation with a film crew should be in Minneapolis documenting the crimes being committed by the Trump regime. On camera they should repeatedly demand that Minnesota call out the Guard to protect its citizens. MPD must arrest ICE agents who commit crimes.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements werenโ€™t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
