I wish that @fetterman.senate.gov @johnfetterman.com and Senator McCormick agreed, but apparently they support and approve of targeted killing of children, journalists and civilians in general, and Israel’s cruel starvation and forced removal campaign of Palestinians. They like war crimes.
Netanyahu’s assault on Gaza City only worsens the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. There is no excuse for starving Palestinian children and killing innocent people.
The U.S. should not send a single penny to fund Netanyahu’s war machine.

I know we like talking about these things in terms of homicide rates but let's talk raw numbers.
Boston, one of the cities in Trump's crosshairs, is a city of 700,000 people that had 24 total homicides in 2024.
Mike Johnson's Shreveport, population under 200,000, had 52 total homicides in 2024.

Active-duty troops are not crime-fighters. With exception of military police, they are not trained or armed to act as police.
Mike Johnson: "I cannot for the life of me understand how the Democrats think this is some kind of winning political message. Yield man! Let the troops come into your city and show how crime can be reduced."

Shreveport, LA, the largest city in Speaker Mike Johnson's district, has a murder rate more than twice Chicago's, and a crime rate considerably higher than both the state and national average. And Johnson isn't calling for the military to invade it. One of many ways we know this isn't about crime.

I hope this applies to out of state visitors too! Now that I have family in NM, it would be great to get a booster on my next visit.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Went ahead and updated my map of cities with higher crime than D.C. to accommodate the two new states from the Deep South who are sending troops to the capital. In the five states there are 64 cities, home to 1.7 million people, that had more crime in 2024 than D.C.

We also subsidize high fructose corn syrup through extensive tax benefits to corn farmers / agribusinesses that grow corn.
It’s weird that people have a huge problem with tax dollars being used to subsidize part of the cost of someone’s soda with SNAP, and no problem with our tax dollars being used to subsidize the entire cost of a billionaire’s private jets and yachts with Trump’s tax cuts.

The Supreme Court is out of control. To allow the president, without any explanation, to unilaterally dismantle agencies created by an Act of Congress is to endow the president with sovereignty. There is no justification, because they haven’t given one. Our country is in big trouble.

(Continue filling in the blanks of things that benefit society more than police)
The cops are always the ones who bring the violence. They are the ones who actively perpetrate violence in the interest of protecting property and maintaining the status quo.
The cops ARE violence—the violence of policing cannot be reformed, because violence is inherent to the institution itself.

Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.
Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Abolish ICE
America's secret police just detained a guy who might be Mayor of New York City and his NYPD escort. We have to abolish ICE. That should be the baseline Democratic Party position.
Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list.
I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants.
Inaction is complicity.
