The problem with Graham and Blumenthal's Russia sanctions bill is that the decision to impose sanctions is left entirely to Trump. Russia could destroy every city in Ukraine and if Trump didn't want to spoil relations with Putin, no sanctions would be imposed. 🧵 english.nv.ua/nation/russi...

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

ICE was present at the incident on Lake & Bloomington. Our community saw it with their eyes. Federal agencies were militarized on our streets. Community members were assaulted by them and local jurisdictions were present for it. Our community deserves answers and to be heard. 1/

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

Once you cross the line of deciding that a class of people are exempt from the Constitution, you have crossed into Gestapo territory. It’s really that simple. Roundups and instant deportation is unconstitutional And what can be done to one group can be done to others once a precedent has been set

I posted the post on the left <10 days ago. On the right is what CNN just reported. You better believe the Trump-Johnson call was _wildly_ threatening—though candidly Johnson is a liar, villain, and coward, so he would have caved even without a[nother] litany of threats by Trump against an ally.

They promised to root out waste and abuse and found none, and in the process wasted money and abused innocent people. They promised to deport 20 million people but are not getting anywhere near that, so they are desperately arresting anyone they can get their hands on whilst wearing face masks.
