The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.

URGENT: Call your Senators and say NO VOTE TO REOPEN GOVERNMENT UNLESS HEALTH CARE SUBSIDIES ARE REINSTATED AND SNAP IS FULLY FUNDED AND PAID.

Some Senators are ready to cave. We just handed them a nationwide blue wave and they need to act like it.

It's outrageous that Spotify is running ICE ads. Move today to another streaming platform that doesn't profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/XIoZloYT

“Is there any sign of life?”
“Have we heard a heartbeat?”
“Does she feel any kicking?”
“We don’t have the equipment to do that.”

That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.
