I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Did you know that some PACs donate as little as 25% of what they raise to the actual Democratic candidates/party committees?
With Blue26.org (which isn’t a PAC), 96% goes directly to the campaigns, w/4% going to ActBlue’s standard cc processing fees.
None goes to me.

A Political Power Grab Redirected Funds for North Carolina’s Sexual Abuse Survivors. Women in Crisis Paid the Price.
The move, which led to disruptions in services for sexual assault and domestic violence survivors, provides a glimpse of the consequences when a branch of government assumes unprecedented control.

GOP sore loser and state Supreme Court Justice wannabe, Jefferson Griffin, is now officially a ghoul, feasting on the flesh of those who gave their lives in defense of what's left of our country. Every veteran and servicemember should decry this.

Stadium has these new speed bumps but they are only in the middle of the lane so they can destroy your car if you have a lowrider. Fun watching everyone just drive in the bike lane instead of risking it.

Thanks for sharing this, and the link to the doc (in thread)--yes, this is critical. The OKC bombing is comparable in American history only to Pearl Harbor and 9/11, and hardly anybody remembers it as what it was: an act of domestic terrorism by the white power movement. (1)
