ICE-Gestapo shot a man in NYC with his 5 year old son in the back seat, then they rammed through protesters who were trying to block their vehicle from leaving the scene. I’ll say it again and again, ICE aren’t agents or law enforcement, they are terrorists, murderers and white supremacists.

Trump has made baseless claims that mail-in voting is “cheating,” “corrupt,” and “horrible.” During his bonkers primetime address in July he claimed, without evidence, that “mail-in ballots are inherently corrupt.” Utter horseshit. There is zero evidence of widespread fraud. Meanwhile...

Under Donald Trump and Republicans’s One Big, Ugly Bill, millions of Americans have seen their healthcare costs skyrocket, including 389,000 Massachusetts residents. Tax cuts for billionaires. Funding for ICE. Blank check for war in Iran. Nothing for healthcare.
