I just want to take this opportunity to point out that there is a man named Henry Walter Wooten, from Smith County, Texas, who is serving 35 YEARS IN PRISON for marijuana possession.

I’ll never understand how America went from Barack Obama to Donald Trump.
From dignity, empathy, and competence
to grievance, cruelty, and chaos.
It wasn’t an accident.
It was backlash.
Backlash to having a smart, principled, wildly popular Black president who proved this country could be better.
And some people couldn’t stand it.
Two neighbors set up a swing bench overlooking the valley. They didn’t expect what happened next.
This is the human equivalent of setting up a bird bath & getting excited about all the birds using it.
They made the tree happy & gave their neighbors a beautiful spot to enjoy.❤️
Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.
ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.
This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.
🔥@MarkRuffalo: “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered. We have stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him… this is crazy.”

Sheriff Rochelle Bilal calls ICE “fake, made up law enforcement,” and pledges to arrest agents who commit crimes in Philadelphia:
“No law enforcement professional wears a mask … You don’t want this smoke.”
