Why have so many people fallen behind?

It's not because of immigrants, trans people, or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP.

It's because corporations and billionaires rigged the system in their favor — and a bought-off political establishment let it happen.

It's time to fix the system.

More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained by ICE, according to ProPublica.

70% of ICE detainees have no criminal conviction.

Trump’s promise to go after the “worst of the worst” was always a lie. It was always a pretext to terrorize Black and brown communities.

Remember this.

In 1999 Putin's FSB bombed some apartment blocks in Russia killing hundreds of Russians and blamed it on Muslims to justify the second Chechen war. Trump may do similar as an excuse to declare martial law and cancel elections.

Early voting is already underway in some states. From now until Nov 3, I urge you all to...

1) Help get out the vote
2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference
3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism

We are the only ones who can end this nightmare.
