Exactly!!!!
Republicans used to say “undocumented immigrants don’t pay taxes.” Now the IRS is handing their tax data to DHS… So which is it?
Seems like you’d have to pay taxes to even have tax data…

Everything is on fire, but everyone I love is doing beautiful things
and trying to make life worth living, and I know I don’t have to believe in everything,
but I believe in that.

A lot of disabled and chronically ill people are disappointed they couldn’t go out and protest as part of #HandsOff today.
Never forget that rest IS resistance.
Listening to your body & giving it what it needs is a radical act of self care.
We need our strength for the long battle ahead.

Overturning Citizens United has my full support!
The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.
And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.
