What’s one way we can rein in ICE? We can start by boycotting ICE’s corporate collaborators that are profiting from the agency’s cruelty. Watch.

Never before in living memory has it been as urgent for America to have a strong opposition party. Which is why it’s so important for Democrats to take the steps I lay out in this video. And if there are Democrats who won’t — we need to replace them with those who will.

US Supreme Court rejects bid to overturn same-sex marriage right
The U.S. Supreme Court rejected on Monday a bid by a former Kentucky county official to overturn its landmark 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide, as the justices steered clear of the contentious case some 3-1/2 years after its conservative majority reversed abortion rights.

Apparently, this morning, a handful of states loaded residents' SNAP benefits onto their cards. CA was one of those states. I believe Oregon as well. Trump is,at least for the time being, saying everyone will have their full benefits loaded, as the judge ordered, but there is an appeal in process.
