Sen Dems: OK, we'll vote to open the government if all promise to give us a vote on health-care in the future. Sen Repubs: (to each other "omg this is like taking candy from a baby") Yes deal!!! Sen Dems: You guys promise? We are trusting you Sen Repubs: Would we ever lie to you 😉

Yes, this. 1000% this. Everyday the feeling of utterhekplessness grows. The protests help me feel connection, but I'm still seeing purity politics on social media. The left is their own worst enemies and in the meantime the administration is (nearly literally) shitting on the American people.

When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Trump's deportation force is currently holding three times as many people at Krome as their capacity. Two of the detainees have died. Reportedly more than 40 women are being held at this all-male facility. Reports of lack of water and food, unsanitary conditions and medical neglect.

My ancestors taught me to freeze my flour, refrigerate my butter, wash my eggs before I crack them, and never buy meat that is pre-seasoned. I guess they prepared me for a country that doesn’t test the quality of milk…
