Not only are ICE bounty hunters, who look more like criminals than law enforcement, abducting people from workplaces & off the street—we’re now seeing they’re being held in private detention centers w/some of the most deplorable conditions imaginable. REPEAT: people are profiting from this cruelty.

One thing I really think needs to be hammered into “libertarians” & other right wing freaks is the cost of helping other people is almost always less than the cost of not helping them. Because we live in a society & we are all connected & you are SO MUCH CLOSER to being sick and poor than you think!

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

I am old enough to remember the run up to Iraq, & they're using the exact same playbook. Except they don't have any sort of popular support or even a whisper thin pretext this time around.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

The band playing "Fortunate Son" might have been the best part of the whole parade. In case you don't know the lyrics, here they are. A perfect gift for a flawed man.
