Troy Jackson on the Iran War: "Sen. Collins voted for it 5 times before she started voting against it. By that time, we're already into it and we're in another forever war that you just heard her say, it's not thought out, we don't know what we're doing, but she made sure that it happened."

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica. 70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction. Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities. Remember this.

You cannot convince me that frat brothers organically walked into separate police interviews using the same word, “consensual,” and that it wasn’t coordinated. Especially after a witness told police there was allegedly a fraternity meeting to get everyone “on the same page”.
