Roughly a decade ago, the term "atmospheric river" seemed to enter common usage. But today is the first time I ever heard reference to a specific strength—I guess we've got a category 5 atmospheric river in Seattle right now. Is this new, or have I just not been paying attention?

It costs the average taxpayer $34 a year to fund SNAP.
It costs nearly $200 a day to detain an immigrant in an ICE camp.
Your tax dollars are paying to detain people without due process instead of providing healthcare, food & housing.
Let that radicalize you.

Trump is giving another $12 billion of our taxpayer money to bail out farmers AGAIN from his disastrous policies. Watch farmers get this bailout then go right back to voting Republican in the midterms now that they’ve got their welfare checks.

ICE is out of control. They're operating with impunity. They're doing things and getting away with stuff that regular cops, even your typical federal agents, can't do.
And we're just sitting back and taking it all in why?

Look, at some level, I get that.

You should look at Trump’s pardons - from Ross Ulbricht to the former president of Honduras to Kushner’s disreputable and ex-con pops as what it is - Donald assembling his ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ gang.
