SOMEBODY EXPLAIN HOW THIS MAN STILL HAS A JOB? Brenden Cuni, the same ICE agent seen on video brandishing a rifle at the scene of the shooting in NY, where officers shot an unarmed man in front of his 5-year-old child, was also filmed kneeling on a pregnant woman in Minneapolis last December.

If Congress doesn’t act, Social Security benefits are on track be cut in 2032. Not on my watch. We must protect Social Security by lifting the cap so that those with the highest incomes pay the same share as everyone else.
“Just take the cap off” Elizabeth Warren on removing the Social Security tax cap to make the highest earners pay their fair share.

Rough math: A gallon of diesel weighs about 7 lbs., so the 300,000 tons before November is about 86M gallons. The US uses about 170M gallons per day. So even including the 500,000 tons in November, he's bragging about barely over a day's worth of diesel fuel.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

The white evangelical movement split in the 1970s so those who hated civil rights, especially for women, could boost right-wing Republicans. Talarico is reclaiming the movement for the others, and it is a very different thing indeed. Jimmy Carter v. Jerry Falwell.
