β€œ$170 BILLION for ICE. $40 BILLION for Argentina. $1 BILLION for Trump’s Qatari jet. $230 MILLION for Trump’s DOJ β€œcompensation”. $200 MILLION for Noem’s jets… But nothing for health care?

This isn’t a question about what πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ can or can’t afford β€” it’s about priorities.”

Hundreds Previously Detained By ICE Could Be Released By Judge Under New Order The order could allow hundreds of immigrants to return home while the court reviews whether their arrests were unlawful.

β€œA federal judge is planning to release on bond hundreds of people who have been detained by federal immigration agents in Chicago since June.”

I also wonder how many were deported so quickly they never had a chance to fight it.

Hi.

I’ve been editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue for the last 4.5 years β€” a dream job, one I never thought a Brown girl from small town Louisiana might hold.

I am so incredibly proud of the work we’ve done and what we accomplished. Our journalism has won major awards. (cont’d)

In an unforgettable Veterans Day moment, former President Barack Obama surprised dozens of Korean and Vietnam War veterans as their Honor Flight landed in Washington, D.C. The veterans, fresh off their flight from Madison, Wisconsin, were greeted by President Obama himself.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Taxpayers don’t owe Donald Trump a dime for his legal battles. While he’s trying to get $230 million from the federal government to pay his own lawyers, families across this country are struggling to keep up with grocery bills and rent.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to β€œjust go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

IDEA is the most fundamental federal protection for children with disabilities. It is what IEP's fall under. It is how we guarantee that ALL children are afforded an education.

We are crazy here in the US. Military families on furlough due to this insane government shut down in line for food. National Guard being sent to work in US states with 🧊 to capture and disappear hard working people and their families. Terrifying them forever. What are we doing??
