We could have universal healthcare. We could have high-speed trains. We could have an infrastructure that is not crumbling. We could have universal free college tuition. We could have universal income. Instead, we get this.

There will come a time when the names of every ICE agent are public. Just like every law enforcement agency in America. These agents are fools to think they will not be held accountable.

Fascist republicans in the Senate were seen instructing/influencing Moscow Mitch McConnell on how to vote because he’s cognitively unable to make decisions on his own as he continues to suffer from extremely poor health. It should be illegal to hold a Senate seat hostage.
