Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Danica Margarit (@danicamargarit) An epstein victim who was married to someone in the current Trump administration. HELLO???

An Epstein victim in a past relationship with a current administration official deported quietly without due process. This needs to be shared far and wide. Let the unraveling begin!

All of the whataboutisms were ridiculous. It was a show to give republicans a platform for past grievances during the shutdown. Waste of time.

TheDarkLeft (@thedarkleft) This order, drafted Stephen Miller and signed by Trump, gives the government to go after, target, and arrest virtually anyone now. Meanwhile, people are more concerned about what’s on Netflix

Pay attention is right. Our rights are being stolen from us.

I am writing to you from a country where toddlers are held in cages. From a country where a man died running across a California freeway because he feared ICE more than death.

We should all be ashamed
