The last nuclear arms treaty between the US and Russia expires tomorrow.
For the first time since 1969, there will be no constraints.
It's worth remembering that when Trump ended the Iran nuclear deal in his first term, he said there would be a "better deal."
It never happened.

My hometown! Way to go council and housing advocate galore, Mayor Davis.
Missoula, Montana has just:
- Eliminated single family zoning
- Eliminated parking requirements citywide
- Allows 100-125' of height in many of its mixed-use zones with no limits on density or FAR
Why is Missoula so much more progressive than Los Angeles?

Entire families of color are holed up trying to save their lives. Indoor videos of ICE pounding on their doors and looking in windows is scary as hell. This is real Anne Frank shit going on here.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.
