Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kirsti Noem, Joseph Mazzara, Emil Bove, Drew Sargent, and everyone else involved in planning, executing, and obstructing justice around the CECOT imprisonments are responsible for Andry's torture and rape.

Each bears a share of the blame. Don't ever let them forget it.

How soon until Trump gets SCOTUS to agree to defund themselves?

Brown is the bravest Justice. She's not waiting years to speak up. She is a fully qualified justice and has a right and a duty to speak now. Brown knows she is not on SCOTUS to be collegial, but to serve the best interests of the American people. Clearly, she is not on the payroll.

I should be asleep, but can’t stop thinking about a striking sanitation worker I met today. He told me about the time a trash bag full of human shit burst in his face, and he had to spend two days in the hospital to ensure he hadn’t contracted any dangerous diseases.

He makes $19 an hour.

Keep in mind: are helping break the strike by dropping off your trash at the centers. DC33 literally does the dirty work of our city.

All women and now all Trans kids need to rely on their states to decide what is good for them. Bodily Autonomy is a human right and this decision is a disgrace.
