Watch this.
Open your eyes to this brutality.
ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.
Now share this.
Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.
You have power.
Even sharing this video exerts that power.

This powerful message: “I did the research and found out I was wrong.”
I’m not going to say much more except please take the time to watch. Then send it around to family and friends, no matter their political persuasion.

So I see the Trump administration is now offering $1,000 and a free plane ticket to any immigrant who self deports. How are the MAGA bunch going to reconcile this when they are so against “handouts” to immigrants? It’s all about the cruelty to all of them.

So, using the Republican’s logic on erasing student debt, I don’t think women who have children should receive $5,000 of my tax money for it. I gave birth to 3 kids and had to pay for them without government help. Why should they be rewarded if I wasn’t? See how dumb that sounds?

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Thank you Corey Booker, AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Chris Murphy, and Bernie Sanders for speaking out and realizing we cannot stay quiet while our country is being dismantled. You inspire me.

I’ve never been more disappointed in my party. I am ashamed of how the democrats are going about things like it’s business as usual. Our country is shutting down as it is. At least we would’ve had more of a say had our “leaders” held firm.
