ICE arrested the mom of a 9-year-old at a school bus stop in Austin, leaving him alone and crying. The video has profanity and is heartbreaking to watch, but it shows the fear/pain of what happened. This is evil. This is wrong. And it has to stop.

The midterms are being flooded with dark money & Trump is doing everything he can to suppress the vote. But remember — WE THE PEOPLE outnumber Trump and his billionaire backers. Keep phoning. Keep canvassing. Keep getting out the vote for candidates on the side of working people. It is essential.

Hi, Norwegian here
In the USA, medical school tuition is
typically over $200,000.
In Norway: Nothing.
Students get government loans for living
costs. Each semester you pass, up to 40%
converts to a grant.
This is why a cashier's child can become a
doctor in Norway. Your academic abilities
matter, not who your parents are.
Follow for more from a social democracy,
where dignity is not a privilege.
