Countless disparate notes and an info-hoarding problem which I justify like grandpa did with his pull tab collection: It’ll come in handy someday

After getting blocked the first time, Sen. Mike Lee is revising his land grab plan and trying to sneak it back into the “Big 💩 Bill.” The new proposal would force the sale of up to 1.2 million acres of public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management.

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

The Comptroller of New York City, who is obviously a US citizen, was kidnapped by masked officers refusing to produce a warrant, and is currently being held in ICE custody. This is Trump’s America, which clearly is no longer Land of the Free. Or the law.

We are losing a great deal more than our rights and freedoms. Every federal law enforcement person in the country needs to be prosecuted for failing to honor their oaths of office, aiding and abetting this terrorist attack on our country.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development. Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system. Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

When you watch these heartbreaking videos showing the cruel and thuggish behavior of ICE agents, remember that these people are not being FORCED to commit these acts — they do so willingly. They could quit their jobs at any time. They could say “enough!” ICE agents CHOOSE to do what they do.

Not only are they ignoring climate change—they’re trying to cover up the cost. Shutting down NOAA’s disaster tracking so we can’t see the BILLIONS it’s costing us? This ain’t solving the crisis—it’s hiding it.
