The conditions in many immigration detention centers are horrifying.

Inedible food. Individuals forced to sleep on the floor next to overflowing toilets. Pregnant women shackled and suffering miscarriages.

It is a system designed to break peoples’ spirit, akin to torture.

Violence on our streets is unacceptable. And that includes violence by masked, unidentified immigration agents.

I introduced the No Secret Police Act because we must not allow America to become a secret police state.

And... WE WON! The court just granted the TRO against these illegal firings by the Trump administration at my old home the State Department. Kudos to all of the great partners in this case--onto the preliminary injunction hearing.

We are the wealthiest country in the world and yet this is how we treat our seniors and veterans. If you support Trump and Republicans ripping away SNAP, Medicaid, and Obamacare subsidies to give tax cuts to billionaires — GO FUCK YOURSELF. 😳👇

Another baby has just died of whooping cough in Kentucky, thanks to RFK Jr. and his merry band of anti-vaxxers.

My feeling toward RFK Jr. and the Republican Senators who confirmed him is utter contempt.

The best hope is to impeach 45 for treason.
his entire cabinet is removed at the same time. Its required by the constitution.
motions can be brought forward to impeach members of the supreme court.
the trials begin.
The constitution needs so many new amendments to prevent this happening again.

18 U.S.C. § 875, says it is a federal crime to transmit a communication in interstate commerce containing a threat to injure another person. This statute applies to threats made via phone, email, or social media that cross state lines.

A farm worker near Ave Maria, Florida, seeks prayers after their work bus is stopped by ICE. As a result, they begin systematically abducting each of them one by one. Tragically, they have not been heard from since.
