BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.
The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

WTF? ICE is arguing in court that US CITIZENS can be detained, handcuffed, and biometrically screened unless they can prove citizenship on the spot. And that a REAL ID isn't enough. This isn't border security.

Why would anyone from Scandinavia give up their universal healthcare, paid parental leave etc etc to come here and be led by a demented con man who’s trying to squash what’s left of our subpar public good?
