71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment:
Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand;
Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else will fix it;

Putin has a Trump mat on his front porch.
He threatened Putin with sanctions if he didn’t sign the ceasefire. He didn’t, Trump did nothing.
Then he threatened sanctions again and Putin blew off peace talks in Turkey.
And all this weak loser has to say about it is this complete load of bullshit. Trump is Putin’s bitch.

There was a literal episode of the Handmaid’s Tale about this and it’s happening in real life 😳😳😳 This is wrong on so many levels and I cannot even imagine what her family is going through 💔💔💔💔
Georgia forcing the family of a brain dead Black woman to pay for her to remain on life support so the state can gestate her fetus is why we need pro-birth accountability laws that force a state to pay for all costs attending a forced birth. www.11alive.com/article/news...
Family says woman declared brain dead but her pregnancy continues under state law
Adriana Smith's been on life support 90+ days with weeks to go in her pregnancy. Her family questions Georgia’s heartbeat law — and why they had no say in her care.

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.
Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.
