I am a person. Just like you. I bleed, just like you. I laugh, I cry, I love... I feel, just like you. But I am also me, and there is only one of me.

“When my DACA expires, I will be ripped out of my classroom and taken away from my students. This thought just breaks my heart.”

Nearly 9,000 DACA recipients are educators.

We need to protect #Dreamers. We need a #CleanDreamActNow

How did we get here? With the President of the United States openly repeating Jewish conspiracy theories?

Take a minute and read @chick_in_kiev's great piece on the weaponization of antisemitism by the modern Republican Party.

I don’t think anything I say will adequately convey the heartache I’ve been feeling the last few days. Call your representatives. Call your senators. Protest. Be outraged.

“...of the 7,000-plus children placed with sponsored individuals, the agency did not know where 1,475 of them were.”

1,475 migrant CHILDREN are missing or unaccounted for!!!

I just don’t have words for how I feel right now.

@rtmanigault That’s the thing. We should be surprised. And it’s sad/scary that we’re not. We should be shocked and angry. And it’s sad/scary that we’re not. We should not be desensitized to this dehumanizing rhetoric. And it’s sad/scary that we are.
We just cannot let this continue.

“These aren’t people. These are animals.”
Your president said this. Let that sink in for a moment. The president of the United States of America called people animals. How did we get here!? #NotMyPresident #Disgraceful #NoHumanBeingIsIllegal

Immediately after tweeting “Happy Easter”, the president follows it by tweeting, “No more DACA deal.” If you don’t see how abhorrent that is, please feel free to unfollow me. #ProtectDreamers #DACA #ProtectDACA #ImmigrantsMakeAmericaGreat #JesusWasAnImmigrant #EasterSunday

Tell your members of Congress there's a political price to pay for remaining complicit in Trump's attempt to undermine the #TrumpRussia investigation: [phone]

Guys, I kind of feel like if President Obama had paid hush money to a stripper just before his election and then she sued him, the GOP in Congress might have held a hearing about that. https://t.co/3FAxtOTVYp
