Remember the militarized raid on a Chicago apartment building in the middle of the night where agents rappelled from helicopters and zip-tied sobbing children? It has resulted in ZERO criminal charges two months later. The cruelty, chaos, and fear are the point.

30 fathers at a Louisiana prison reunited with their daughters—some for the first time in years—for a powerful father-daughter dance. Even behind bars, a father's love transcends time and distance. Every child deserves to feel that love. 💙

What makes the silence and shrugs from GOP senators all the more disgraceful is that those cops were beaten in order to protect senators, congressmen, and the vice president—the ultimate targets of the mob—from violence.
