Trump has denied disaster relief for Illinois following severe storms in August. Trump approved a request from Indiana for damage resulting from the same storms. One is a "blue state." The other is a "red state." No other president has politicized natural disasters the way that Trump has.

Cornell paid the Trump administration $60 million to appease them, and its police reportedly left the words I was raped out of a report to the DA. Only 51 people were found responsible from 1,216 assault reports. Kotlikoff should resign, and the trustees can go with him.

Blue Cross Blue Shield is being sued as a monopoly after the state found it's been in a conspiracy to restrict access to healthcare. Corporations should not have this much power. We need money out of politics, money in our pockets, and Medicare for All.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

🚨 Trump keeps attacking Somali Minnesotans to distract from his failures. But Minnesotans aren’t falling for it. Today, neighbors across the state stood watch outside their local mosques during Friday prayers. Enjoy this thread of Minnesotans loving our neighbors, & reply with your own photos! 🧵👇🏾

You should never have to wonder whether soldiers are watching you vote. This footage shows uniformed troops standing beside an official ballot drop box in Washington, D.C. Who sent them there? What were their orders?

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

ICE is already showing up near voting sites, bolstering lawsuit against armed agents at polls
Among the newest examples is an ICE detention that took place in the same area California voters had to pass through to reach a ballot drop box.
