3 LEGAL immigrants tell their stories of being locked up by ICE. One man said he had previously been a journalist in Egypt and had been detained and tortured in Egypt, he said his treatment in the ICE detention center was WORSE.

We need reform for ICE centers!

I donated to second harvest today, donate if you can to help people in the Bay Area get food.
Second Harvest of Silicon Valley is facing a critical need as food insecurity rises across the Bay Area. With potential cuts to SNAP benefits on the horizon, local food banks are stepping up to fill the gap — but they can’t do it alone. [1/2]

Our billionaire president doesn't think he has enough money? Now he wants the US government to give him $230 million. He is looking to settle past cases, and the justice department that HE controls will decide what he gets in a settlement. This is unacceptable!

Trump’s increasingly bizarre behavior can no longer be attributed to a calculated “strategy.”

Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia?
