"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." —Justice Sonia Sotomayor

White people overwhelmingly voted for this.

This is what was burning in their hearts for all this time.

This is the cruelty that fuels & generates their white supremacy.

It always starts with dehumanizing what they fear, and what they truly fear is dominant DNA. They fear being treated the way
Humanity

A system that rips fathers from their families in immigration court is not justice; it’s cruelty. People can only take so much before heartbreak turns into resistance.

There is no liking this version of our country.

If you can afford to send your kid to a private school, then you can drive them or pay for their Ubers.

But Dayton, Ohio decided to dump the burden on the public school kids instead and prioritized school buses for the private schools.

Abbott wants Texas Dems to be removed from office for "abandoning" their voters for 10 days. Yet my Congressman Sylvester Turner died on March 5th & Abbott didn't call for a replacement election until November with an expect runoff in December. I'll go 10 months without representation. Weird, right?

Trump wasn’t talking about Obama at all until his base demanded he release the Epstein files and so he concocted a desperate new conspiracy to distract them. Remember that.

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.
