Steve King must resign. His latest comment is a disgusting attack on victims of sexual assault. The people of #IA04 deserve better. We must work together to elect @JDScholten in 2020. https://t.co/y5QDB4ToHc

‘Trump’s’...”presidency with racial stereotypes and hatred, saying nothing after whipping up his rally mobs, providing a safe space to say things like “Send them back!” and “Shoot them!” The Trump administration and the Republican Party surely have blood on their doorstep today.”

[Jamil Smith جميل كريم @JamilSmith]

Mass shootings are not just committed by racists. We should understand them as a function of systemic racism—and not just because the president is a white nationalist who feeds on grievance and gives license to violence. My latest, on the recent tragedies. https://t.co/480m0Bf7Tj

@peterdaou I would ‘like’ , ‘heart’, whatever, this a thousand times if I could.

It’s really not that radical.

When DHS was 1st formed by Bush 17 years ago, many members of Congress were concerned - incl GOP - that we were setting up a ticking time bomb for civil liberties erosion & abuse of power.

Discussing reorganization shouldn’t be out of the question.

In case you missed this yesterday, from @MollyJongFast: "I went to Washington for Donald Trump’s July Fourth Salute to America. It was supposed to be modeled on France’s Bastille Day, but it turned out to be more heartbreaking than festive."

Family tradition: ‘Orchid and Onion’. Each person had a chance to tell the best and worst thing about their day. Every family member (or friend that happened to be at the dinner table) knew they had a chance to speak. Friends caught on quickly and looked forward to the ritual.

[Pam Resists🇺🇸🇺🇦💔💔💔 @ResisterForever]

When my son was small, we had a bedtime ritual. Every night he and I had to each name one thing for which we were grateful.

I need to revisit those lessons starting today.

What am I grateful for on a political level?

The NRA is in shambles.

Your turn.

To anyone who said it can't happen here:

CONCENTRATION CAMPS

MILITARY PARADES

STATE PROPAGANDA NETWORK

WOMEN'S HEALTH CRIMINALIZED

RULE OF LAW SUSPENDED

COURTS STACKED WITH EXTREMISTS

NEPOTISM ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE

MEDIA ATTACKED AS "ENEMIES OF THE PEOPLE"

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Just left the 1st CBP facility.

I see why CBP officers were being so physically &sexually threatening towards me.

Officers were keeping women in cells w/ no water & had told them to drink out of the toilets.

This was them on their GOOD behavior in front of members of Congress.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Actually, that would make government better - not worse.

Imagine if more people in power spent years of their lives actually working for a living.

We’d probably have healthcare and living wages by now.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

One narrative in this country that we need to turn on its head is the lie that immigrants are “takers,” or represent a weight on society.

It’s wrong. Immigrants are *makers.* They create+offer opportunity. They aren’t a weight to carry; in fact, they are our nation’s shoulders.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This administration has established concentration camps on the southern border of the United States for immigrants, where they are being brutalized with dehumanizing conditions and dying.

This is not hyperbole. It is the conclusion of expert analysis ⬇️

People have had enough of corporations & big money influencing our candidates & elections. That's why our campaign isn’t accepting donations from corporate PACs. But it also means we're relying on supporters like YOU. Will you use this link to chip in now? https://t.co/O6VK0v5Lzn

It is currently 92 degrees & sunny in El Paso. Tomorrow’s forecast sunny & a high of 99. Wednesday sunny & a high of 100. #CloseTheCamps

Please read this thread. And, if you’re outraged (and I don’t know how anyone couldn’t be), please support, if you’re able to, one of the organizations fighting this inhumanity: https://t.co/TX93IdQqwc
