“‘Well, we wouldn’t have had to take care of Pierre. Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do,’ Jack said. ‘We did not do right by him.’ He was beginning to believe that the Trump administration was ‘a joke,’ and that the ‘Democrats were no better. ‘Everything is broken,’ Jack said.”

Tim Snyder is correct: If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money and tackle our corrupt system. There’s no way the party can speak for or represent the working class in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

The worst of the worst? For ICE that means shooting a 28 year old Door Dash driver who has a zero criminal record. After they shoot him and hurt him badly he gets terrible care because ICE stands for Incompetent Criminal Enterprise. Outrage for all of us including all Latino voters. November 3.

A DoorDash driver did not pose a threat when we was shot in the back by ICE goons. They then refused to render aid and so a local police officer had to intervene and find the bullet hole. The bullet is still in his back after a day & they didn't give him medication for the pain. Sadistic monsters.
