Yesterday, I met with a 12 year old boy in Oxnard, CA. His mom and dad have been fieldworkers for over 20 years.
ICE agents snatched his parents from the fields and left this boy alone with no clue when he’ll see them again.

When you deport someone, you return them to their home country - you do not rendition them to a prison in a foreign county with no way to get home. This is not deportation; this is human trafficking and it violates international law.

We got internal cables, notes and other records that show how U.S. diplomats have intervened on behalf of Starlink in at least four other developing nations. All while the U.S. has withdrawn foreign aid from those same countries.

This is the kind of data that intelligence agencies drool over, and they’re putting it all in one place.
There’s obvious potential for abuse domestically by both parties, but this also severely raises the risk of a foreign compromise — that database will be an instant target.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.
The result? Demagoguery and corruption.
