I just voted against Kristi Noem’s confirmation.
Our immigration system is in desperate need of reform — but it won’t be fixed by organized acts of cruelty.
We need a DHS Secretary who puts the rule of law and constitution first — not the caprice of the President.

It is *very* important to understand that Jews were never the only target of the 1930s Nazis and they are not the only targets of today’s Nazis. A Nazi salute is not only antisemitic. It is also racist, ableist, and queerphobic.

The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again. We worked for decades to have them remembered. The Airmen too. Knowledge is power. 🗃️ www.msn.com/en-us/societ...
