Wayfair to donate profits of sales including 100K to Red Cross.
ETA According to the crawl on CNN.
Also I'd prefer they donate to somewhere like RAICES but hey its better than nothing

Can we at least ditch Williamson and Moulton? 😂 And Ryan?
And as much as I like Swallwell, him too?
.
I might be wrong but I think Swalwell's is purely a profile campaign. I think he's making a play for AG or wants to run for CA gov

I broke down after watching Don Lemon talk about that dad from El Salvador with his little girl. It all just hit me and I couldn't stop the tears. The Trump administration hasn't really hurt me personally but my heart hurts for all the needless suffering of others. I can't imagine not caring at all about these people being hurt. I can't even comprehend how people I know are supportive of Trump.
Don Lemon said that if you look at the picture and listen to what's happening and all you can think of is whether or now they came legally, then "I hope tonight you hit your knees and pray for God to soften your heart." If you have no compassion for people like this then you are a monster.

She fucking trademarked it. My head is about to explode. Who the FUCK in the trademark office (or whatever) allowed her to trademark that? WHAT IN THE WORLD. I am guessing... ignorant white people? I am pissed.

Maybe Senator one day? Definitely feel like it’s about raising his profile plus I feel he’s genuine about wanting to elevate the gun control issue.

I think Swalwell is genuine about gun control and I appreciate that, but if I’m going to vote solely on that platform, I’m looking for Chris Murphy on the ballot. I definitely think he’s there to position himself for a cabinet position, but I feel that way about nearly all the candidates.

My grandma got DD the high 5 (for toddlers) subscriptions and after her death we’ve continued it with the highlights magazine for her. She loves it and the diversity is great.

If you have no compassion for people like this then you are a monster. I keep going back to that quote “you don’t put your children in a boat unless the water is safer than the land”. That whole story just destroyed me. Warsan Shire wrote the poem. For those who haven't read but would like to, here it is. Spoiler tagged for length no one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark you only run for the border when you see the whole city running as well
your neighbours running faster than you breath bloody in their throats the boy you went to school with who kissed you dizzy behind the old tin factory is holding a gun bigger than his body you only leave home when home won't let you stay.
no one leaves home unless home chases you fire under feet hot blood in your belly it's not something you ever thought of doing until the blade burnt threats into your neck and even then you carried the anthem under your breath only tearing up your passport in an airport toilets sobbing as each mouthful of paper made it clear that you wouldn't be going back.
you have to understand, that no one puts their children in a boat unless the water is safer than the land no one burns their palms under trains beneath carriages no one spends days and nights in the stomach of a truck feeding on newspaper unless the miles travelled means something more than journey. no one crawls under fences no one wants to be beaten pitied
no one chooses refugee camps or strip searches where your body is left aching or prison, because prison is safer than a city of fire and one prison guard in the night is better than a truckload of men who look like your father no one could take it no one could stomach it no one skin would be tough enough
the go home blacks refugees dirty immigrants asylum seekers sucking our country dry niggers with their hands out they smell strange savage messed up their country and now they want to mess ours up how do the words the dirty looks roll off your backs maybe because the blow is softer than a limb torn off
or the words are more tender than fourteen men between your legs or the insults are easier to swallow than rubble than bone than your child body in pieces. i want to go home, but home is the mouth of a shark home is the barrel of the gun and no one would leave home unless home chased you to the shore unless home told you to quicken your legs leave your clothes behind crawl through the desert wade through the oceans drown save be hunger beg forget pride your survival is more important
no one leaves home until home is a sweaty voice in your ear saying- leave, run away from me now i dont know what i've become but i know that anywhere is safer than here.

There's a long list of those I'd love to ditch, but yes absolutely. And I hope I'm wrong about Tulsi, but she's got this weird, super faithful underground following and I can totally see her Bernie-ing up the place with her "movement", though I'm sure it'll be on a much smaller scale. I was shocked to see multiple Tulsi billboards when driving around Iowa a few weeks ago. No other candidates had billboards that I saw. I mean, she has one in teeny tiny hometown. Who the hell is she targeting there?? There is one not too far from my house as well. I think she has spent an inordinate amount of money on billboards. It is weird to me.

So how much does it cost to rent a backhoe? Think we could tear down a wall and occupy a detention camp?Fucking militias in Oregon get away with this shit. Maybe a bunch of angry white women can too.

I've been thinking about this. The Red Cross has misspent money in the past, plus they have will have no direct impact on the situation at the border. It's not just not good enough in my book.

I was just coming here to post his bananas call into Fox Business this morning. That’s where the Jerome Powell stuff comes in. Other “highlights”: Mueller illegally deleted (he uses the word terminated which makes no sense) emails, not separating families at the border has led to the surge of migrants, we are essentially running hospitals at the border. 😡 A thread
