Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

@sbg1.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social look at the absurdity of Stephen Miller calling members of Congress “insurrectionists” for issuing a message reminding the military of its legal obligations—including the imperative not to follow an unlawful order.

Every one of those ICE agents must be charged with illegal entry and assault. This is horrific.
ICE agents in Queens, New York break down a bedroom door and point guns at a mother & her four US citizen children
They dragged the mother out by her hair while yelling at the kids to “put your hands up, stupid!”
This is tyranny
These kids are traumatized
It was warrantless and no ID was shown.

1. Tax the rich.
2. Repeal Citizens United. Look at the jump in the chart after 2010!

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.
We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

We get vaccines to prevent disease and death—vaccines have saved countless lives. But despite the fact that the claim that vaccines cause autism has been debunked repeatedly, RFK Jr. continues to promote it, even now stating it on the CDC website.

Just a reminder: there was a Biden administration investigation into Epstein and Maxwell's co-conspirators. Trump killed it in January, fired the prosecutors, stole the files, & ordered Bondi to open a new sham investigation, led by a handpicked prosecutor, so DOJ wouldn't have to release the files.

Before Reagan, conditions were better, with fair tax contributions from the wealthy and attainable livable wages. Now, greed in politics, especially with Trump, appears to overlook the needs of Americans.

Trump, Kristi Noem and ICE lost
Not only did Greg Bovino and his agents leave the city in disgrace
A judge ruled that they must release as many as 615 unjustly detained immigrants
Plus-they must stop pressuring immigrants to voluntarily leave

Why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself in jail if he had this much leverage of the one person who could give him a full pardon?

And a bunch of other companies that coincidentally have business in front of the Trump Administration right now.
So are these companies getting special favors in return? I’m pressing for answers.
