This. This is why I believe the Catholic schools & churches are destroying our country. This is NOT a Christian nation. I'm NOT supposed to have to live according to their beliefs. #FreedomFromReligion #CatholicsForChoice

"Mariano's (14) family was seized at the border and he and his parents were separated. He was then reunited with them in Chicago. He currently has no personal possessions. He has shared with staff some of the trauma they experienced during their journey.

Just before they crossed the border, a gang took all of his clothes so he often wears his Dad's (large) clothes. Would Alice pay for new clothes for this wonderful boy?"

Yes.

I was arrested & interrogated in Argentina during the 70's "Dirty War'' in which its president sought to rid the country of "the enemy within" with the help of his military. 30,000 Argentines disappeared. Americans should be terrified at such talk from a presidential candidate.

No doubts this time: We can be absolutely certain that an attempt will be made to steal the 2024 election if Kamala Harris wins.

Important to remember that Trump DID use his office go after political rivals — Comey, McCabe, Vindman, Yovanovitch, Hillary Clinton, and Joe Biden. Next time, he won’t have normies in his administration to stop him from going further.

Public funds should go to public schools.

Indiana public schools educate 93% of kids but only get 64% of public funds.

That’s bc “school choice” sends 36% of the education budget to subsidize private schools for 7% of kids.

I repeat: Public funds should go to public schools.

We need to be very clear about this. NOAA will be broken up & privatized under Trump. So you will literally have to PAY to get weather information. The very thing that is saving people right now, by telling them to evacuate, will be gone under a second Trump administration.

AOC: You want to know how else Republicans have contributed to the immigration crisis? Marco Rubio has been stalling key ambassadorial appointments across the world. I led a congressional delegation to Latin America and sat across in the Colombian Embassy where we had an acting ambassador because Marco Rubio refuses to allow US diplomacy to proceed. Legislators who are claiming to understand the issue of immigration don’t have the slightest clue as to what is happening in Latin America while supporting the very policies that are driving people here in desperation in the first place. So, don’t talk to me about how Republicans have an answer to the issue of immigration

A new report found that the for-profit US healthcare system ranks last among peer nations.

We spend twice as much per capita on healthcare and have the worst health outcomes.

Reminder that Medicare For All would save $450B in health care costs and 68,000 lives per year.

Texas has purged about 500K eligable voters from voter rolls

Nebraska potentially changing its Electoral count to winner take all so they all go Red

Georgia is requiring 5-6M votes be counted by hand

Red states have closed more than 10,000 polling locations in Black/Latino neighborhoods

This is how Republicans are organizing to steal the election

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Instead of wasting $926,060.11 of parishioners’ hard-earned money to fight Amendment 4, Florida bishops could have provided those in need with 345,554 cans of soup.

Arkansas bans nearly all abortions, calling itself a "pro-life" state.

It has the nation’s highest maternal mortality rate.

One of the highest infant mortality rates.

It's one of two states that cut off Medicaid to mothers 60 days after giving birth.

How is this "pro-life"?

Remember: Trump asked oil execs at Mar-a-Lago for $1 billion for his campaign.

In return, Trump pledged to reverse environmental protections and cut their taxes.

The deal would net Big Oil $110 billion in tax breaks — 11,000% more than a $1 billion donation.

Utter corruption.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

The Trumpist attack on 17-year old Gus Walz says it all: Too often, Trumpism isn’t just a political disorder. It’s a human disorder.

Of course this doesn’t apply to all or most Trump voters.

But it would be nice if more Trump voters criticized those who do revel in the cruelty.

Wondering if wealth inequality is out of control?

Well, Jeff Bezos made over $7.9 million an hour last year.

In just 13 minutes, he made the equivalent of what a typical person earns in a lifetime.

Don't tell me that the rich can't afford a wealth tax.
