What we’ve learned in this cruel and shameful period is the presidency needs to be less powerful not more powerful.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"

It will never be comprehensible or forgivable that the man who incited a deadly insurrection and attack on our Capitol was able to run again and retake the levers of power.

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.
She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.
But the FDA recently denied its approval.
Now, her health hangs in the balance.
Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

Well, well, well. The Acting FEMA Administrator said eliminating FEMA wasn’t in the best interest of the American people — and guess what?!?! They FIRED him. I guess that’s what happens when you stand up to your power-hungry “boss”.

This part just sends me:
“Someone just drew a line…..I’m a very artistic person.” Just the insult of talking about another country’s borders and physical integrity this way with the PM sitting right there trying not to leap out of his chair. It’s just indecent.

NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night.
Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.”
She’s a constituent.
Not a threat.
Fascism again.

When you force people to foreign incarceration for the rest of their life without due process... that's not deportation. That's human trafficking.
And it's not a prison. It's a concentration camp.
