Delta Airlines charging me for my bag? That's obnoxious. Delta Airlines charging me to book a seat? That's obnoxious. But Delta Airlines working with ICE to ship people to concentration camps is COLLABORATION. Boycot #delta

interesting to me that as the administration treats democratic-voting states like conquered or occupied territories, you don’t have pundits demanding the president respect “half the country”

The Trump admin is cutting PEPFAR in South Africa, which has the world’s largest population of people living with HIV/AIDS. This is a cruel, grievance-driven choice that ignores basic science and puts millions of lives at risk, including Americans. www.semafor.com/article/06/1...
