Andry José Hernandez Romero went all this time without knowing how much people cared about his fate, and spoke his name on the streets, TVs, and in courts. The way he was treated by the Trump administration was grotesque and obscene, but he was loved by so many throughout the country. ❤️

Once again, this is a massive public jobs program for fascists. This bill was never just about tax cuts and gutting social services. It's about investing our collective resources in violence and using state power to spread fear and destroy solidarity. We need to resist this with all we've got.

Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you.

I learned this week that you can put our troops' lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing. But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn't like, you will be abducted on the street and disappeared.

I’m not sure where Elon was in the 90s, but I was volunteering in South Africa. The AIDS crisis there was tragic and devastating, including affecting many babies. PEPFAR has been a miracle. That he wants this tragedy for people around the world tells us all we need to know about his character.
