Homan just admitted ICE has been endangering the public, its targets, and its own officers by making record vehicle stops with no enforcement upside! He admits that they could be arresting people outside of their cars but haven't been, yet ICE plans to restart them again!

In less than a week, ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero. Two families are now without fathers.

Congress must disband ICE. Otherwise, these killings will continue.

Thank you to the communities in Houston, throughout Texas, Maine, and across the country for speaking out.

@McFaul Vive La France!

It doesn’t matter if the man killed by ICE in Maine was authorized to work in the United States or not. It doesn’t matter if he had a social security or not. ICE should not be killing anyone. Period.

Cory Booker referring to Lindsey Graham as a hero, is beyond astounding. I'm so over him. Incredibly over him.

Today is “Sea Sunday.” My thoughts go out to all sailors, fishermen and port workers around the world who, though marked by separation from their loved ones and sometimes by fear of the conflicts occur on the seas, sustain trade and the lives of many peoples through their patient and quiet labor.

@shannonrwatts It always makes me laugh bc when I wake at my "witching hour" I go online and see all my lady friends from high school doing same thing!

Lindsey Graham was among the most viciously racist & bloodthirsty warmongers in the history of Congress. That he was also pretty clearly a closeted gay man who chose to make the lives of all marginalized people miserable in service to power says everything about him. Rest in piss

Unfortunately, the winds of war are blowing once again in the Middle East, in Ukraine and in many other parts of the world, sowing violence, terror and death, and once again affecting many innocent people. Let us not allow these winds to extinguish the flame of hope and peace, even when it seems fragile and flickering.
I renew my hope that we will persevere on the path of dialogue, encounter and diplomacy. This is the only path capable of leading to a just and lasting peace, in which peoples can live in reconciliation, mutual security and respect for the dignity of every person.

Later, when all of the news has been digested, need to talk about why so many of us were awake at 4 am.

We don't set cars on fire. We don't smash windows. We don't fight each other. We come together to thank our national team. The people of Oslo have gathered outside the Royal Palace once again. Tonight isn't about the defeat, it's about celebrating our national team for taking us to the World Cup quarter-finals. This is the beginning of something special! 🇳🇴

“My great-grandparents’ generation said, ‘Learn English, don’t speak Basque.’ But my mom’s generation worked to get Basque back,” says one musician in Boise, Idaho.

@thetrillbillies Well you gotta see how close to infield, the actual outfield is on an average little league game these days. Outfielders are like backup shortstop. Unless a slugger comes up and gets to experience the glory of the other team backing up.

“Always a hoot” 🌹

On this day in 1995, the Grateful Dead played their final show ever. It was the second of two consecutive nights at Soldier Field in Chicago, with The Band opening each show. After closing with a rare double encore of ”Black Muddy River” and “Box of Rain,” the final notes rang out with a fireworks display set to Jimi Hendrix's "Star Spangled Banner,” lighting up the Chicago skyline. No one in the crowd realizing they'd just witnessed the band's last concert, but as we all know, the music never stops 🌹

You cannot claim to fight for the working class and abuse women. You cannot excuse men who abuse women in the name of advancing the working class. Women are part of the working 👏🏼 mfing 👏🏼 class 👏🏼
