He called every day, but ICE cut the line. Randall Gamboa, a 52-year-old man, was arrested in Webb County and Port Isabel. He was held in Texas ICE custody and found in a vegetative state in a Texas hospital. He was then deported to Costa Rica in a vegetative state and died.

And they damage her car, probably got towed or impounded for no charges. Who is paying for all this destruction, damage, and false imprisonment by ICE??

Why Does Congress Continue to Receive Pay During a Shutdown, and Does it Always Have to be That Way?

🚨When you feel you and your family require housing on a military base - to be “safe,” you are the problem. When these people are members of the president’s senior admin/advisory staff, they are (collectively) our problem. They have declared themselves enemies of the people. 1/2

This was too funny. Can you even call it a robot when there's a man with the remote telling him what to do?

For $20,000, you can own a sickly robot—piloted by a human—which struggles to close your dishwasher.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.
