Dear Apple, why did you make the flashlight the easiest thing in the world to turn on by accident and the hardest thing in the universe to turn off on purpose?

For the things you know are right
It s the truth that the truth makes them so uptight

You have you to complete and there is no deal

Stand
You've been sitting much too long"

Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence.
During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

The more you know
Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year.
The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year.
Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Lookit - NAFTA was a mistake and outsourcing all our manufacturing to China et al was too, but protectionism pretty much always leads to recessions ir worse. Think Smoot Hawley in response to the ‘29 crash. Straight line from there to the Great Depression. This is a loser policy that hurts us all.

Please read and act accordingly.
The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich.
THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no.
Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.
When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
They're trying to get away with it again.
