This is our taxpayer money going to bully, harass and even kill people. I didn’t vote for this!
How many people could be housed with this kind of money?
Or pay for Universal healthcare?
Or education? Or all of the above?

Imagine weaponizing ICE, terrorizing communities, beating people, deporting them at random, executing American citizens, throwing this nation into chaos, all to protect your rapist leader.

Republicans all need to fall.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

IMMORAL…

This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.”

An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.

It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

We have to keep the pressure up on Trump now that he’s backing down. That’s our role in keeping this democracy. Here’s the information you need to know: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Alex Pretti
Add his name to Renee Good's.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.

Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

So do we support the idea of a wealth tax on billionaires?

5% spread over 5 years. That’s 1% per year at a time when wealth concentration is at historic levels and cuts are always framed as “necessary” for everyone else.

Trump is claiming "affordability" is a hoax as families in Oregon and across the country see their grocery bills rise and their utility bills explode.

It's the Golden Age for Trump and his billionaire buddies and the Dark Ages for everyone else.
