Apparently, our parents do not want to chance having pedophiles photographing their children.

Tens of thousands of new mothers have been flagged by the police over unreliable drug tests.
@themarshallproject.org found more than 70,000 cases referred to law enforcement over allegations of substance use during pregnancy—and that’s a significant undercount.

Correct. Now is the time to be very clear on the fact that you don't give a fucking inch to fascists. Not on anything. Not ever. Everything they are doing is per se illegitimate. The very minimum you demand is an immediate, across-the-board return to regular democratic order and norms. Nothing less.
There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

What if the biggest conspiracy is our government’s refusal to believe more than a 1000 women (and children) for many decades?

Right now, we have a tax code that forces firefighters and teachers to pay a higher share of their income than many billionaires and major corporations.
We need to change that - because our economy requires it, and because it is simply the right thing to do.

Host: So when Donald Trump walked in, there were women in there who weren't fully clothed.
Hughes: Correct. Women were not fully clothed when Donald Trump came in.
Host: And some of those women were, what, as young as 15?
Hughes: Yeah, as 15 years old.

Child detained by ICE: Since I got to the center, all you will feel is sadness and depression. All kids are being damaged mentally. They don't have schools or doctors. Serious situations happen, and there are no consequences.

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.
