I saw this video on Viola Davis' instagram this morning and everyone needs to see it.
The gutting of the VRA is the most significant attack on ALL civil rights in America in my lifetime, and after they already came for the women..
We better wake the fuck up. None of us is safe:
Brianna Keilar: You were Ohio Secretary of State for eight years. Would you agree that you ran safe and secure elections?
Jon Husted: Of course we did.
Keilar: You could use a utility bill, or a bank statement, or a government check as an acceptable form of ID, so why is that not acceptable now?
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
23 year old Ruben Ray Martinez’s last words? “I’m sorry sir”.
ICE shot him 3 times and killed him.
Renee Good’s last words? “It’s ok I’m not mad”.
Alex Pretti’s last words? “Are you ok?”
These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors.
Abolish ICE
To be clear about what this depicts: An immigration officer threw a woman onto the ground. Alex Pretti, a registered nurse on scene as a legal observer, is filming and goes to help the woman up. He is then pepper sprayed and thrown to the ground for no discernible reason. Many officer surround and assault him; one removes his firearm, which police say appears to have been legally registered. They then execute him with a hail of bullets.
They are, objectively speaking, both cowards and criminals, while Pretti is what we teach people an American ought to be.
With the latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%.
It's the fucking guns.
What upsets me is how Congressional Republicans voted yes to extend a tax cut for the wealthiest of Americans but voted no for a tax credit to help hardworking Americans afford health-care coverage.
That just ain't right.
If ever you find yourself zip tying a child’s hands I wanna be really clear with you on what this says about you. You’re not one of the “good guys.” You’re the problem. Your soul is rotten. Your intentions are evil. And whoever is above you telling you to do this is hella Nazi.
Trump's DOJ is trying to destroy the 4th Amendment. I have the bonkers DOJ memo that authorizes federal agents to barge into our homes without a warrant. I explain the many ways this is wildly unconstitutional, and premised upon a sham application of the AEA. Memo link in reply.
So we’re going after children now? When I think about DHS coming to school to talk to my children and use them as bait for me…it’s disgusting and inhumane. Is this really what people voted for?
Homeland Security agents showed up at two elementary schools in my district asking for 6 different students. They lied and said they had permission from guardians to see them.
Thankfully, both principals denied them access. These actions are disgusting and shameful.
Stephanie Ruhle is one of the only voices in the media who tells it like it is and always speaks truth to power. I wish we had another 100 like her.
Watch this video. It’s 100% truth.
Today, I’m remembering the lives of the 26 children and educators who were shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The first graders murdered that day would be 18-years-old now—adjusting to life after high school, celebrating milestones with loved ones, and building their futures. They deserved all that and more.
