Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone β€” period.

Musk Accidentally Proves Most MAGA Accounts On Twitter Live In Russia Whoops!

I’m still enjoying how MAGA Twitter will never live down that they’re all troll farms from Russia and Bangladesh. The whole MAGA β€˜movement’ has been fake bullshit from top to bottom from the very beginning.

93 years ago, Stalin instituted a man-made famine in Ukraine to break its resistance to Soviet occupation, killing millions. Now, Putin’s war and weaponization of hunger once again threaten Ukrainians' survival. We honor the victims of Stalin's famine by supporting Ukraine today.

Imagine not knowing where your next meal would come from.
I grew up that way.
Or I would have,

Screen shot of article text that reads: β€œMichener is on the board of her local food bank, where they have been grappling with not only how to feed everyone in need but how to address the whole system
β€”how to make the line of people who need food shorter. The bank started a community advocates program to equip those who need food with civic skills: Do you know how to reach out to your elected officials? Do you know how to tell your story? They're getting involved in the political processes that determine what kinds of wages their employers have to pay them or whether they have access to benefits, Michener said. "The most surefire way to strengthen these programs is to strengthen the political power of the people who rely on the programs."

So many things happening, I nearly missed the @newrepublic.com piece I was quoted in last week. It raises the possibility of continued political threats to SNAP, underscoring a point I make often: the best way to politically protect the safety net is to build the power of those who rely on it.

A tweet from β€œAdam Mockler @adammockler” reads:
β€œStephen Miller just went on Fox News and said telling troops to refuse illegal orders is an β€˜open act of insurrection.’ He is telling on himself.
They are planning to give illegal orders, and they want a military that will follow them blindly.”

This young man has it exactly right.

11 years ago today, 12 year old Tamir Rice was gunned down by police officers on Cleveland’s west side.

The officer shot him within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in.

Tamir’s life mattered. It still does. My thoughts are with his family today.

New Jersey may stop paying federal taxes under new governor Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill said on a podcast with Jon Stewart it's a "great idea."

β€œβ€œIf they’re not gonna run the programs, then what are we paying them for?” she said. β€œIt’s like, you know, you’re paying us for a service and they’re not delivering. So let’s stop paying for it.”
