I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

After months of lying to the American people about their intentions, the truth is finally out.
House Republicans just voted to rip health care away from nearly 14 million Americans to bankroll tax cuts for billionaires—and then had the audacity to applaud themselves for it.

The antisemites in the White House—who talk of Good Jews and Bad Jews, do Nazi salutes, push white nationalist conspiracy theories, and dine with open Jew haters—are not fighting antisemitism.
That is merely the bad faith BS they’re using as cover for trying to crush higher education.

Don’t take my word for it—ask Betsy DeVos. Congress is about to roll out a tax shelter scheme to fund school vouchers for wealthy kids already in private school.
It would force vouchers into every state.
And they’re going to cut Medicaid for families everywhere to pay for it.

We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself.
SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then.
Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.
