This should make you angry.

Republicans point fingers at problems about our health and our science, while they turn around and systematically dismantle the programs and agencies that work to fix them.

As SNAP benefits shut down on 11/1, remember who's responsible for our kids going hungry.

I think a major factor in so many people being kind of blasé or in denial about ~all this~ is that they’ve been waiting to be given some sort of paternal-ish permission to start freaking out.

ICE started raiding the hotel they were staying in - interrogating cleaning ladies

Good luck housing ICE agents in Los Angeles now
In the AC Hotel, we got word from a staff member that the agents were staying here and questioning the workers—the workers that were cleaning their rooms, the workers that were making their food. They were questioning them and asking for their ID and in a very aggressive way.
