32. Progressive Democrat. Some of my favorite things are: Buffy, Charmed, Diablo 2, Path of Exile, horror films, and catchy pop music.
Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all.
This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump.
Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

According to a study by Penn Wharton, Trump's "big, beautiful bill" that pays for tax breaks for the rich by cutting Medicaid leads to a $700 LOSS in income for the working class, a $1,000 LOSS in income for the poor & a $389,000 INCREASE for the top 0.1%.
We must defeat it.

George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

At a time of massive inequality, Trump's budget is breathtaking in its degree of cruelty.
It slashes funding for health care, housing & education that the working class desperately needs in order to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires & the Pentagon.
That is morally obscene.

No due process means he decides your guilt or innocence. Not the courts. Not a judge or a jury.
No longer will you be deemed innocent until PROVEN guilty.
You’ll be declared guilty and snatched off the streets with no recourse.
Is the wisdom of the Constitution kicking in yet?

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Either the U.S. government *is* able to exert monetary and diplomatic pressure on El Salvador sufficient to produce Abrego Garcia’s release, or it isn’t.
The latter would be either a bald-faced lie or a pretty stunning concession of our national impotence. The Vice President should pick one.

Quickly lowered this to $1 trillion

And even THAT appears to be an overestimate of $92 billion
