Sarah Beckstrom seems like she was a wonderful person who had a bright future ahead of her. Such a tragedy.
Sarah Beckstrom's ex-boyfriend told NBC News she dreamed of becoming an FBI special agent.

She didn't want to deploy to D.C.

"She hated it. She cried about it."

But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.

May she rest in peace.

It took years of shaming before we got NYT to call torture torture (they used Enhanced Interrogation Technique).

Open to suggestions how we accelerate the process here.

Dear Democratic Members of Congress:

I am urging each of you to adopt a food pantry this week. Make it clear that Trump and the GOP are withholding $5 billion in a contingency fund that could fund SNAP benefits and feed Americans, so you're adopting a food pantry in your district.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

Kristi Noem is cosplaying as a public official. In reality, she's been sent by Trump to incite violence. Don't tar and feather her as Speaker Johnson suggested for Governor Newsom. The best response to her playacting as cop? Ignore her and keep supporting our community.

The health insurance industry doesn't care who you voted for — only how much money they can extract from you.

Insurance premiums are set to double, and Republicans shut down the government to make sure it happens.

Now is the time to demand universal healthcare with Medicare for All.

The VA is joining all the other agencies blaming democrats for the shut down - when in fact - republicans can fund the government without a single democratic vote.
