We now know that the GOP's Big Ugly bill would allow for the sale of 250 MILLION acres of public land. 5.4 million in Washington state.
We can't let them jam this through in secret.
Help me say it loud and clear for Republicans: Public lands belong in public hands.

This is so disturbing. I don’t even have the words.
This was not the Mother’s or family’s wishes. This is because the state considers it an abortion if they let the Mother die.
Can thing get anymore dystopian?

ICE tricked this woman, who is married to a US citizen and is the mother of an American citizen, to come for an interview and then arrested her for having missed a court date years ago. This is the opposite of everything America stands for—or used to stand for.
