'Abolish ICE' may be a catalyst to force REAL conversation on Immigration policy
& could result in real change
ICE was only formed as recently as 2003
Children torn from families is just one horrific symptom
How Trump's empowering ICE is the disease

It seems like Alexandra Ocasio Cortez may have woken people about this & its great to listen to her articulate it👇
Others like Kamala Harris, Kristen Gillibrand & Elizabeth Warren are paying attn
Remember..
NO HUMAN BEING IS ILLEGAL

@riseandresistny
Heres another link to listen to Alexandra Ocasio Cortez which also touches on Abolish ICE. And please media lets stop trying to label it (Socialist, Radical, etc)

Politics are becoming less about Left vs Right and more about Top vs Bottom

Do the GOP fear a dancing “little girl”[Misogynist Ed Rollins🖕exact words not mine]
or
Do they fear going from a FAKE Tax of 37% that let Trump & his Fox & Friend cohorts pay NOTHING for yrs to a REAL Tax Rate of 70%?

Cause you can swear or rape women but don’t touch the GOPs💰
When did actually COLLECTING taxes from the rich & ensuring folks, who made money off this country & its people, contribute to the maintainability & improvement of the Country’s infrastructure become “Progressive”?

And when did the word Progressive become an American swear word?
If a 70% Tax Rate seems shocking it’s not~
👉Eisenhower’s top tax was 91%
👉In the 60’s it was 70%
👉Under Reagan=50%
And thats without “loopholes”

‘Coincidentally’ wage growth at this time stagnated
When the Rich keep more💰
Workers DON’T make more💰
but they DO lose Healthcare

I want so badly for us to have a YOUNG & DIVERSE Govt. But can we realistically get our ‘dream’ young & diverse govt as soon as 2020?
The damage Trumps doing will take years to repair. The first step to rebuilding is to put up a ticket that can win in 2020
Heres my thoughts👇
Last nite I had a debate about my current pick for a 2020 ticket. I know a tickets normally 2 positions but mentally I’ve expanded to 3
Here’s my ideal “ticket” at the moment
BIDEN~Prez
BETO~VP
KAMALA~Attorney General
Before you dismiss Biden as an “Old White Man” Hear me out..👇
Joe Biden may be the right “transitional” President.
I believe he’d only do one term.

His job would be to
👉Clean up the💩show Trumps left. His prior 8 yrs in the WH prepared him
👉Help pass the baton to Beto or Kamala & prepare them to be the best future presidents they can be

IS THIS RELATED TO THE MYSTERY FOREIGN STATE-OWNED CORPORATION SUBPOENAED BY MUELLER🤔
This👇picture shows Cohen & Michael Flynn entering a Trump Tower elevator 5 days AFTER Qatar Investment Authority, run by Mohamed Al-Ruwaini (pictured w/ Cohen) bought a 19.5% stake in Rosneft
Qatar’s Mohammed Al-Ruwaini supposedly bragged that Michael Flynn had NOT refused their money. And that Michael Cohen asked him for $1M. Al-Ruwaini claims they didn’t give $1M to Cohen. Coincidentally Cohen did receive a $1M consulting contract linked to a Russian Oligarch?
A firm linked to Russian Oligarch Viktor Vekselberg (Yes, Mueller questioned & sanctioned Vekselberg earlier this year)paid $580k to the same shell company that Cohen set up to pay Stormy Daniels. They also paid $250k to Trumps Inauguration fund. Were these fees & donations more?

One of the most significant psychological barriers to getting people to acknowledge the tragedy of a seven-year-old dying of dehydration in immigration detention is it might require them to grapple with the thousands of bodies in the desert who died similarly.
People have needlessly died because we can't tackle the racism & xenophobia built into our immigration policy & our very nation.

Many people in positions of power could have saved this child. The people working in these facilities could have saved this child. They all failed.
Our nation is being tested and we are failing miserably. Ask yourself, if Donald Trump were competent, would there be as much pushback? How many people's objection to his agenda stems from his inability to wrap his hatred in euphemism?

Dear #MAGA #Desis & other assorted non-white ppl who support Republicans because of anti-blackness or lower taxes or the feeling of proximity to power, observe this pattern of escalating & widening targeting in #immigration policy & #deportation:
1. Criminal illegal aliens "bad hombres"
2. All undocumented immigrants
3. End TPS "Temporary Protected Status"
4. End family preference in green cards "chain migration"
5. Reduce/eliminate residency lottery
6. Review citizenship applications for fraud & revoke citizenship &
deport ppl who've been here for decades
7. End birthright citizenship for children of undocumented migrants
8. Muslim ban
9. Revoke residency visa for people who have used certain public welfare benefits

I've probably forgotten some other measures, and no doubt there are more

The Suffocation of Democracy

By: Christopher R. Browning

THREAD✔
1/
As a historian specializing in the #Holocaust, #Nazi Germany, and #Europe in the era of the world wars, I have been repeatedly asked about the degree to which the current situation in the United States resembles the interwar period and the rise of #fascism in Europe.
2/
I would note several troubling similarities and one important but equally troubling difference.

In the 1920s, the US pursued #isolationism in foreign #policy and rejected participation in international organizations like the League of Nations.

Okay here’s the thing. Most of the refugees I know don’t like to talk about it, but watching the inhumanity of this #immigration policy makes me want to mention a couple things. I was one of those kids clinging to his mom, seeking asylum... (1/16)
I spent five years (5-10) sleeping under my bed and soiling myself with anxiety. If my mom was less than 15 minutes late coming home, I would enter a full physical panic that she had been taken (she was once by the secret police in our country).
My dreams were almost entirely narratives of watching my parents taken and killed. And you have to understand, once we left our country, I didn’t leave my mother’s side for three years. I can’t imagine what would’ve happened if I’d been put in those cages.
