Have you noticed “recruitment” style ads? You aren't imagining it. The current administration is reportedly investing $30 billion to hire at least 10,000 more deportation officers and they’re using streaming services to get the job done. More info: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Take part in calling your senators with Working Families Party. President Trump and congressional Republicans have spent the past nine months selling out working families. Now they’re dragging out the government shutdown. Text "Shutdown" to 30403.
