Chicago teenager details his horrifying experience in an ICE detention center:
"My mother and I were separated for 2 months. They kept me in solitary for 2 days for no reason, alone in a room with just a toilet. At some places we were strip searched. We ate horrible food and it made us sick. They never let us go outside."
Dear @RealTomHoman: Below is more evidence that ICE is an out of control, rogue agency. A civilian was exercising her First Amendment rights when an ICE officer casually assaulted her with pepper spray.
You should be ashamed of what ICE has become: thugs.
November is coming.
I'm not a racist. I'm a culturalist
I believe some cultures are superior to others
For example, I prefer cultures that do not encourage wife beating, paedophilia, clitorectomies, stoning and constant inflation of the male ego
I am also aware of the difference between Islamoscepticism and Islamophobia
Notice that hate does not come into this
Only moral preferences
Stillwater, what a turnout! Thanks to St. Croix Valley Indivisible for having me out last night. We had a great conversation about the state of our elections and what we’re doing in Minnesota to ensure a safe and secure election experience for every eligible voter from now through November.
Dr. Fauci received flowers from a fan with a note saying “We love you Dr. Fauci!” Love this. He’s an American hero who should be celebrated, not torn down.
The Trump administration is making it even more expensive to be a senior in America, ending a program that helps seniors afford coverage for their medications.
Now seniors will have to pay more thanks to a president who thinks “affordability” is a made-up word.
The woman who took the famous photo of Liam Ramos being abducted by ICE in a bunny hat is calling on Angie Craig’s PAC to stop using it without permission.
“…it was Angie Craig who voted to unleash ICE on our community in the first place when she voted for the Laken Riley Act”
I have been called an alarmist and worse by well meaning people who want to think it will just all be ok. But it doesn't always end up ok and we can't pretend it will.
Trump is targeting Black voters and women to rig this election. We need to stand up, call it out and act.

Don't let a draft dodger and a drunk former Fox & Friends Weekend co-host erase them.
I spent the last few months talking to people across the political spectrum, and to people who want nothing to do with politics at all. Here is what I learned.
We are not a divided country. We are a country being divided, on purpose, by an American oligarchy that profits from the fight. They’ve captured our government, denied our healthcare, looted our treasury, and saddled us with crippling debt.
I believe in a New New Deal. Healthcare as a human right. The right of every family to a decent home, and an end to endless wars.
And a dividend paid to every American from the AI economy, because these machines were built on the whole of human inheritance. That inheritance belongs to all of us, and not just to the handful of men playing God with our very existence.
And none of it happens if we just move on. Donald Trump, his family, and his administration are robbing us blind, not just of our money, but of our faith in one another, and they have to answer for it. Truth and reconciliation, not revenge. Then we break the system that let them do it.
The question is not whether we will lose our democracy. The question is whether we will fight to take back what has already been stolen.
I learned in recovery that you can’t heal what you won’t name. Neither can a country.
Minnesota, if you've stepped outside recently, you know something isn't right.
These wildfires are becoming more and more common. That's deeply concerning. And if corporations broke the law by misleading the public about climate change, they should answer for it.
