We have enough money to feed, house and provide education & healthcare to all.

We don’t do it because the 1% oppose it.

The billionaire class benefits from keeping the rest of us in poverty.

They hoard the wealth and blame immigrants & marginalized people for economic hardship.

Tax the rich.

It’s just ad hoc rule-making to benefit Republicans and their billionaire owners.

That’s the Roberts Court.

There is no coherent legal theory that can square its rulings. There are no ethical standards.

It’s corrupt and illegitimate. And it must be dismantled.
According to this Supreme Court:

❌ Using race conscious admissions in college to give minorities a fair shot

✅ Using race to profile people on the street to detain for immigration sweeps

✅ Using race to disenfranchise minorities in elecciones

The only consistency is white supremacy.

I'm just now finding out about California Family Code 4400-4405, which establishes an obligation on the part of an adult child to provide support for a parent that cannot adequately meet basic needs.

This needs to be repealed. My father is an abusive alcoholic who told me to go kill myself.

I spent WEEKS trying to get an answer from @slotkin.senate.gov as to why she was ignoring minority groups and leaders when they warned her about what would happen if she voted yes on the Laken Riley Act. Instead, she bragged about voting for it twice and acknowledged, "this [bill] isn’t perfect."

I see some are now frustrated that I suggest some Democrats may have culpability for ICE's rogue behavior.

May I point you to the many Democrats who slandered calls to abolish ICE, or perhaps episodes like this – one of many that involved Democrats re-asserting Republican premises on immigration:

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.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
