The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

The cognitive gymnastics required to blame the poor for poverty are impressive. 8 men have more money than 3.5 billion people combined. A single mom on food stamps isn't the reason we’re all broke. #Godonlylovesbillionaires
