Abolishing ice and prosecuting those ICE officials and employees who commit these crimes must be the baseline for the Democratic Party going forward. Anyone who does not adopt this basic stance is OK with you or your neighbors being kidnapped by masked men and must be driven from political life.
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.
I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

It is outrageous ICE is behaving this way, traumatizing our kids and terrorizing families. They are violently grabbing parents in front of families. They deploy tear gas near schools and playgrounds and Halloween parades. Now storming into a daycare. This must stop.

Since there is no real media any longer it’s imperative to keep sharing these stories.
I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

The worst secret in America is not just that rape happens, but that we would rather look away. That when a woman speaks, we hold a mirror to her instead of a mic. That we expect her to be both credible and kind, traumatized and coherent, broken but not bitter.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.
A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.
If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

The most sobering part about becoming 1930’s Germany is realizing that no one is going to come here and liberate those being brutalized. If this historically inhumane regime is going to be overthrown, We The American People are going to have to do it.

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.
If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.

We spent nearly 8 minutes this morning trying to set the record straight on a number of health matters.
I’d expect the Surgeon General or NIH Director to do this, but since they’re not, here it is in 4 clips.
