The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. This was her bio: "Renée Macklin is from Colorado Springs, Colorado and is studying Creative Writing at ODU. Her poetry has been published in Metrosphere and Coronado Literary Review, and she currently co-hosts a podcast with her husband, comedian Tim Macklin. When she is not writing, reading, or talking about writing, she has movie marathons and makes messy art with her daughter and two sons." (People are posting the wrong woman's photo, the red lipstick photo is not her. This is Renee, from her social media accounts.)

Holy shit! This is what I'm talkin' about. David Clayton is running for congress in North Carolina's District 5 against MAGA Republican Virginia Foxx — and this is how he introduced himself. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

Mary Bruce absolutely bodied that press exchange yesterday. She refused to shrink, refused to be intimidated, and pressed a president who thinks bullying reporters is a substitute for answers. That’s what journalism looks like. More of this energy.

🚨 BREAKING: Today in Aurora, a Chicago suburb, ICE agents surrounded the car of a U.S. citizen in a parking lot… firing into her windshield as she screamed that her children were inside. Agents then dragged her from the car without presenting a warrant or probable cause. Excessive force. No warrant. No justification.

Hello Mr. President! Out of curiosity, did those doctors ask you to draw a clock by any chance? Was that part hard for you, too? Asking for 340 million people.

Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard… They're really aptitude tests, in a certain way, but they're cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump. The first couple of questions are easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe..

Our armed services are being paid privately by the oligarchs, making them no different than a private militia. Which is clearly the goal
