SENATOR @warnock.senate.gov : “We have to pray not only with our lips but with our actions… Any nation that tolerates this kind of violence year after year, decade after decade, without doing all we can to stop it, is broken and in need of moral repair.”

WIRED: “ICE expands plans to outsource immigrant tracking to private surveillance firm… up to $280 MILLION…”
Bounty hunting (nonviolent) immigrants. Cruelty is big business — spending our money to harm our own economy.
An own goal. America’s Brexit.

Holy shit. This video gave me chills. If you watch one thing today, please let it be this.
Women’s March is speaking directly to ICE agents, to their humanity & asking them to walk away from Trump’s unconstitutional crackdowns.
Watch. Like. Share. Make it impossible to ignore.

Yes, we will. And we will see that it certainly wasn’t @kaine.senate.gov
Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

You are the wisdom & stories of your ancestors, the knowledge of your grandmothers, you are every forest they ever wandered in, the earth upon which they walked, the herbs they practiced medicine with, their familiars that sat at the fire hearth . . . 💚

Took these photos during the full moon. Can’t figure out what the tiny green lights are. Moving in small spirals. It’s cold, late in the season, and the lights were steady, so I don’t think it was a firefly. Lovely though. 🤷♀️#fairylights

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.
