The US has had a border with Mexico for over 200 years. It’s the 9th longest land border in the world and it’s the most frequently crossed boundary in the world. How is it that NOW we need a wall? Did something happen? Did Mexico declare war? Did they suddenly tank the US economy? Or do we have a racist President?

Gen X & Baby Boomer media is about making millennials feel shitty about not being exponentially more successful and more educated than they had to be at the same age to maintain the same standard of living. Y'all had my salary with a HS diploma working at Auto Zone. Go away.

ThinkProgress: Michigan GOP cuts paid sick leave, repeals minimum wage increase in lame-duck session
How do we impress upon our representatives that Republicans have no intention of playing fair and we have get in the gutter with them in order to clean it up? We can’t afford to go high when they keep taking a baseball bat to the knees of democracy.

The Hill: Wisconsin Senate passes limits on incoming Dem governor

Chuck Schumer’s unpaid intern.
We’re expected to work FOR FREE after 6, 7, and 8 years of college, but we’re the ones who are spoiled because we want a $4 coffee every once in awhile to forget about the strain of living in country the generation before us ruined with greed.

Legal immigration is now under attack.
Is there anybody who still believes this administration’s “concerns” about immigration are about national security and the economy as opposed to just naked racism? Hopefully not, but just in case there are, Stephen Miller is erasing any doubt.
