I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers.
I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

The difference between Zohran Mamdani and Chuck Schumer talking about affordability is that it isn’t part of Mamdani’s job to be a check on the power of the President of the United States.
Mamdani doesn’t have the constitutional power to affect Trump’s agenda the way Schumer does.

During Trump’s first year back in office, Delaware families paid over $1,300 more on average for housing and transportation costs due to inflation. Nationally, families paid over $1,600 more.
Donald Trump promised to lower prices on day one. Another empty promise from a career conman.

the average minnesota mom has done more to fight donald trump than almost the entire senate democratic caucus
This - I I’ve watched programs about people putting everything on the line to rescue people from the Nazis. I’ve watched on TV and online as people in Chicago, Minneapolis, and elsewhere have struggle to protect their neighbors and friends from the ICE monsters.

Me learning tonight that “Picked Poor Robin Clean” from “Sinners” is an African American blues/folk song about the hardship Black people had in the 1930’s - used in the film as a way to highlight the vampire(s) exploiting Sammie + cultural appropriation.
