I’m gutted by today’s ruling. But I’m also confident we will fight back with strength and righteous clarity.

Estefany Rodriguez sounds like a remarkable, brave woman who put herself at risk to serve her community. She was clearly not a “flight risk”.

NOBODY should be hungry. NOBODY should be homeless. NOBODY should lack healthcare. NOBODY should be unsafe. If we can't all agree on that, we're doomed.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

A recent leak from an ICE detention facility near Houston shows hundreds of detainees packed into a shared room without beds or bathrooms. The footage highlights allegations that the facility's air conditioning is kept on maximum, intentionally subjecting occupants to freezing conditions.

Hey everyone, I see a LOT of people so furious at Dems they're registering as Independents. I get it. I really do. Just be aware that most states have closed primaries so you won't be able to vote in those. And as you smart folks know, primaries are critical to weed out wackos and bad bills.

Sure. Most people will die still owing money to the bank. The debt is forced onto the next if kin, or the bank takes the house. Either way, the bank wins and people never actually own their houses, but they remain responsible for the upkeep. This is part of the plan to destroy the middle class.

All of the Gestapo needs to be treated this way. Don’t let them stay in your hotels or come into your stores, don‘t rent cars to them, don’t let them in your restaurants. They need to be hassled everywhere they go. They need to know that the majority of us are not going to put up with their shit.

Attention PA Voters Vote YES to retain our judges!! Disinformation abounds w/ Republicans claiming the justices overturned Cosby’s case. In 2005 then DA Bruce Castor, a Republican gave Cosby a sex predator immunity from those charges for other testimonies. Castor also led Trumps defense team.
Picture of PA DA Bruce Castor who granted immunity to Bill Cosby in 2005 from being charged with Rapes. Republican PA DA Bruce Castor who in 2005 granted full immunity to Bill Cosby preventing his sexual conviction cases and causing them to be overturned. In 2005 PA DA Bruce Castor, a Republican, gave Bill Cosby immunity from prosecution for his sexual assaults and rapes for other testimony. This resulted in Cosby’s conviction being overturned and him being released. Castor also went on to lead trumps defense team in his 2nd impeachment trial.

Your mood and mindset is going to infect others. You'll either be infecting them with fear, or gritty resilience. Choose gritty resilience, every damn day. When I walk past a mirror, I look, and ask myself, "If I was someone else, looking at me, what would I see?" Make it match what you want it to.

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
WGA Statement on ABC's Decision to Pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

Disney and ABC need to feel serious consequences for their collaboration with Trump and MAGA in censoring Kimmel. Economic consequences. Same with the owners of CBS and other organizations that capitulate. The only thing they understand or care about are their own bottom lines.
