It’s happened again in Florida. At least 4 dead. At least 11 injured.

Florida’s primary elections are Tuesday. #Vote.

Honor these victims by voting for candidates that reject the @NRA.

Be a hero.

1. I think the message from the Democrats was clear last night.

Instead of wasting money on an archaic wall, let’s take that money and implement state of the art technology, a SmartWall if you will—including drones, cameras, fixed towers and sensors.
2. We also need more personnel on the ground.

And most importantly, we need a humane system to allow these human beings a safe path to seeking asylum and potential citizenship.
3. We must give these people legal representation.

We also need more immigration judges. Currently there are only 750 judges for 750k cases which leaves immigrants waiting for years. Allow due process in a civil space for their stories to be told.

1. When I heard about Southwest Key Programs (SWK) violating human rights standards—I filed a public records request to get answers. A refresher below.

Here’s what I found in these records.

2. I am livid. And you should be, too. Ask yourself what kind of country allows children to be not only abused, slapped around, and dragged, but preyed on by violent sexual predators.

Here’s some video of that happening. (Warning: hard to watch)

3. Southwest Key Programs (SWK) maintains facilities to jail children.

In June, Senator Merkeley (D-OR) tried to enter a facility and was turned away. SWK called the cops on him. abcnews.go.com/Politics/polic…

I have questions. A lot of questions.

Jakelin Amei Rosmery Caal Maquin is her name.

She was seven years old.

Jakelin was in Border Patrol custody when she died last week of dehydration and cardiac arrest.

#JusticeforJakelin

(THREAD)
DHS Secretary Nielsen blames Jakelin’s family for her death, but reports today show that Border Patrol failed to give her medical treatment for 90 minutes after her father reported symptoms to CBP officials.

An hour and a half.

Just imagine her suffering.

#JusticeForJakelin
This past Tuesday, days after Jakelin’s death but before it was reported, @CBP Commissioner McAleenan testified at a Senate oversight hearing on migration and border security.

He never mentioned Jakelin.

Not once.

Ignore the polls and get out there and #Vote on November 6th. Relying on polling is a relic of a time gone by.
I’m not saying looking at @FiveThirtyEight’s model and charts and stuff isn’t cool, because it is and provides some insight. But no matter what the numbers say, it’s most certainly NEVER an excuse to not #Vote because you feel your peeps are a “lock”
Need nothing further than to point to 2016. Which by the way, @FiveThirtyEight didn’t really have wrong, but the “selected not elected” mindset existed before 2016. Why else would over 100 million people choose NOT to participate in their civic duty to choose their leaders.

If you vote for "Republicans" you are voting for a totalitarian America. You are voting for the trump family, business and wealthy politicians to get wealthier at your expense. You are voting away your own rights.
1/
They will always need an enemy to supposedly be "protecting" you from. When they run out of outsiders to go after they will begin to turn on your own citizens, as they are already doing to blacks and democrats, eventually you or someone you love will be the target.
2/
In an atmosphere where all it takes is someone to report you for suspicious activity to make you a target, neighbors begin to turn on neighbors and family on family when there are disagreements. It becomes easy to "get revenge" by turning someone in even if they did nothing.
