I don’t think the vast majority of people understand what being raped as a child does to a person and those connected to the victim.

They destroyed thousands of lives.

it should be assumed any incumbent Democrat is pro-ICE unless they publicly come out in favor of removing their caucus leadership at this point
After demanding ICE and other federal agents be banned from wearing face coverings, Schumer and Jeffries added caveats: "no masks, except in extraordinary and unusual circumstances.” trib.al/9h7Hi2X

Another new provision prohibits the use of any photo ID cards 'provided by an educational institution.'

Valid ID's to vote would include state-issued driver's licenses and ID cards, US passport, military ID, and tribal ID - but nothing from colleges or universities. 3/

The revised SAVE America Act still requires voters to prove their citizenship to register - but not on Election Day.

The original plan would have forced people to bring their passports, or both a driver's license and birth certificate to the polls. That is now out. 2/

Somber moment of respect. 💔
In Ukraine, when a funeral procession with a fallen soldier goes by, everyone stops whatever they are doing to stand silently. Traffic stops. Public transportation stops. Conversation stops.

In Lviv, people take this tradition a step further. Most people the procession passes take a knee.
