It's sickening that Trump basically appears to think "Look guys, I'm tormenting brown people!" is fulfilling his campaign promises. And that there is anybody in the voting public who sees it that way.

Maxwell was rescued from Nairobi National Park as a calf. He's blind – and because rhinos use vision to assess rivals, he can never safely return to the wild. We built him a boma within the National Park, a special home to call his own, enjoy mud baths and interact with neighbours: swt.bio/maxwell

Uber, Lyft, and other app-based corporations can take up to 70% of a ride’s cost for their own profit, leaving drivers with next to nothing.
They’re ripping off employees and price-gouging consumers — all while raking in billions. I’m introducing a bill to fix this broken system.

I’ve been notified of two more deaths in ICE custody in the last 24 hours — meaning that 25 people have now died in detention since Trump returned to office.
That’s the most in more than two decades. The cruelty and inhumanity of this administration must end.
