This is sick! Have you seen ICE’s TikTok page? Propaganda on steroids, targeting young dudes chasing a sense of power. Edited like war games, built to thrill while dehumanizing immigrants. RECRUITMENT VIDEOS—for state-sponsored vigilantism.

I hate the way Iran treats its women. But a country that kept a brain dead woman alive to force her to give birth, and forced her family to pay for it all against their wishes, hardly has a leg to stand on. We treat women like beasts of burden and take away their agency right here. So…🤷🏽‍♀️

Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his beautiful wife and newborn son. Each one of the 104 days he spent detained was a grave injustice. From the moment of his detention, @ccrjustice.org + @aclu.org engaged my office as we worked closely to help secure his release. They did remarkable work here.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

Among the reasons I loved GYWO and admired David so much is the date of this first strip, just a month after 9/11. So it was about invading Afghanistan, not Iraq (yet). For younger people - this comic was totally opposite where the country was at then. People only turned against the wars later.

There will be many consequences of Trump’s bombing of Iran. Gravest amongst them is that the war crime of the 21st century - currently unfolding in Gaza - will continue to be erased from the airwaves. Historically shameful.

Whatever one’s view on Iran, Trump just got us into a war without any involvement by Congress. This is consistent with his general lawlessness — secret police, deportations without due process, illegally impounding appropriated funds, etc. He absolutely should be removed from office.

At least one Democrat gets it. You should put this lady in charge. AOC alone is worth more than most of the party put together. Democrats are mostly feckless, spineless, useless shitbirds. They could use real leadership. Cuomo backing shitfuckers need to retire and walk away.
