Filming federal agents in public is not a crime, nobody should be harassed or restrained for doing so, nobody should have their phone confiscated for it, and nobody should get the death penalty for it. This is supposed to be a free Republic, not an authoritarian police state.

Jersey City sergeant arrested on child sex charge Officials in Bergen County confirmed Andrew LaBruno, 44, was arrested Monday for an alleged sexual assault of a minor in Englewood, New Jersey.

Having briefly met Andrew LaBruno, I'm reminded that people who seem trustworthy are not always so. I’m really disgusted by these allegations. There’s no room for abuse in ANY political party. END ABUSE NOW!

The symbolism here shouldn't be overlooked.

In Mexico, "Adelita" was a common name for warrior women in the Revolution.

Connect, gather, plan.
Together we can make a stand.
Link arms, hold the line, spread awareness;
Your struggle is also mine.

Don't forget to find your people and remind them they aren't alone. πŸ’™

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have β€œthe worst health care” of any major country.

Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.

The solution: Medicare for All.

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans.

And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich.

Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax β€” it's cruel.

Epidemiologist Erin McCanlies spent much of the past two decades studying the environmental causes of autism.
