BREAKING: 30 young people were just arrested after blocking an ICE detention facility near Alligator Alcatraz.
ICE is kidnapping our neighbors on behalf of fascist billionaires. It's time for every single American to stand up to their intimidation tactics. Let's shut it down.

Oh swell, let’s condemn socialism. How about condemning fascism and oligarchy. There was a time that I had hope for the future. It is rapidly being frittered away by the “system”.
In a country where the cost of living rises but wages don't, where illness can leave you in financial ruin, and where the young feel they have no chance at any upward mobility, 86 House Democrats joined Republicans to pass a resolution denouncing “the horrors of socialism.” trib.al/AIdcinL

Trump is trying to force California to invade Oregon with our National Guard. The answer is no. Texas may do whatever crazy shit you demand, but that’s not how California rolls. By the way, Mr. President, when are you releasing the Epstein Files?

“This is Phase One of the Republican campaign to force Americans to work into old age to access their earned Social Security benefits, and represents the largest cut to disability insurance in American history,” Wyden said in a statement to The Post

Older disabled Americans and widows and children left behind due to the loss of a spouse or parent would receive less benefits under Trump’s proposed plan. This is so they can give money/breaks to the rich. This is wrong. The most vulnerable among us must be protected.
