- Reposted by Francine LipmanI was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Spain is booming.”

- Reposted by Francine LipmanIf Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.
- Reposted by Francine LipmanMarina del Rey belies its roots as a pro-growth County enterprise from the '50s/'60s. All was geared for housing and vehicular access (early plans for the 90 Fwy had it reaching the docks). But it's possible to get 10,000 steps there (map from my book) with a little imagination!
- Reposted by Francine LipmanI just keep watching it disappear. Our free press. Our right to assembly. Our freedom of speech. Our right to due process. Our right to free and fair elections. Our protections from illegal search and seizure. Our private data. Our warrantless entry protections. All of it disappearing.

There were at least three kinds of gas used. I don't think we know which kinds.
