Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.

The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

If this picture was of Obama, you know @FoxNews would do three weeks solid on why the flag was on the ground.

At least three weeks

β€œI Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua β€œterrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..."

Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night:

That is true. It’s easier for me to believe her husband was abusive because that is what she was accustomed to her entire life. Maybe one day her children, when fully grown adults, will speak their truth.

After reading Nobody’s Girl, I was disheartened to learn that her husband was portrayed in the book as someone who was kind and supportive, but that she actually stated he was abusive in real life and there was no mention of such in the book. It causes me to waver on her truthfulness. Anyone else?

Sim left Alabama to protect his family. He has since written a book β€œAnd the Dragons Do Come: Raising a Transgender Kid in Rural America.” Give it a read.

Advocate for meaningful reforms. Yes! Not the sickening cruel shock & awe approach of this administration! The USA must always strive for excellence and be the world leader on kindness and human decency!

Casual reminder that the myth of β€œpulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Meanwhile, CEOs make 280 times the typical worker today.

The system is rigged.

I met a couple years ago who quit there jobs, sold their home, and were hired for gig work as journey hosts for Holland America. They shared amazing stories of their new lifestyle ….very minimalistic but highly enriching! And that is our dream.

Hey!

We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit.
50 years ago today the first episode of the series Wonder Woman aired.

If we don't test for COVID, then there's no COVID! If there's no flights, then there's no late flights! Brilliant!

Layoffs are reaching their highest levels since the pandemic, but America's corporate elite have never been doing better.

Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
