Anti-fascist. Why can’t we be decent to each other? Trump has been a blight on common decency.

Happy Pride month! 🌈

I still have my badge from interning on the Hill. What a blast it was. Why am I dressed like a pilgrim, 🤔
Why was Jeffrey Epstein buying DOZENS of Sea Island cotton white dress shirts, boxers for Woody Allen? 🤢

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings
The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

There are no legal strictures or administrative tweaks to reform people who relish in undertaking evil. DHS goons seized this baby with bronchitis and abandoned him and family with nothing at border.

Cruel and inhumane treatment by prisons is illegal under the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. This includes practices that violate the dignity and basic rights of incarcerated individuals.

We are all deeply concerned that Juan and his mom will be deported and that Juan’s health will continue to deteriorate. His life is in danger because of ICE’s monstrous cruelty. I will continue to provide updates and we will keep fighting to protect them.

DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas.

Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.

This demands accountability — not a blank check for more cruelty.

The Constitution allows us to replace these people with ourselves. The trump admin has said we're in a "post-constitutional world" because they want us to lose all power.
The Constitution is the only thing that can save us.

I think they killed Epstein, but if it had gone down a few years later, they would've instead given him a cabinet position.

So sick of stupid f*cking people who refuse to grasp the fact that the Constitution doesn't apply exclusively to American citizens, but to every person within the U.S. And they bask in the arrogance of ignorance. Is it any wonder that it's hard not to hate them.

The fact that this was basically blown over and ignored by the wider media is absolutely insane. This was a political assassination of elected officials and the country hasn’t so much as made a whimper.
