with mills explicitly being who schumer is getting behind in my state and zohran who he wants to avoid as much as possible, so many thoughts about this shit

When I was homeless in 2019, the Salvation Army shelter refused to give me a bed (even though they were available), because I was on immunosuppressant meds and they didn’t want to be responsible or liable if I got more sick or died on premises. They’d rather I die on the street.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

This is one program Trump thinks is a "Democrat" program because it demonstrates care for others.

But the benefits cross-cut partisan lines.
