She is right. Note to Dems with the word "leader" in their title: Leaders lead. She is leading.
AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

Saturday afternoon I saw a figure stumbling along in the ditch. I stopped and offered a ride.
The 83-year-old man didn’t hesitate. He accepted immediately. Hunched over, carrying his folder, he lurched towards my car and nearly fell into the seat, exhausted.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

🧵 We are, in fact, doing the thing again for @onesimplewish.bsky.social. In 2024, the kind people of this community put the money cannon on blast to help grant $75K in wishes for children in foster care. Toys, tech, a suit for job interviews. Here we go again! 👇
