This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.

If you have a Republican legislator, call them today and ask them!
How the fuck is Corey Lewandowski in any position to fire a Coast Guard pilot?
What is his title?
What is his job?
What is his official position in the US government?
If you are Kristi Noem’s boyfriend you get to fire Coast Guard officers?
