New🚨 For the last two years, I’ve been speaking w the Timothee family about Benine’s life - and the circumstances around her death. Six years after she was shot & killed, there have been no arrests. No suspects. But there is a theory — and it involves a cover up.

Seems to me that 8 years ago, we would’ve found out about a shift in enforcement like this only after hearing about arrests in schools and hospitals. Trump 2.0 isn’t hiding anything this go around, but instead issuing statements. The fear is the point. apnews.com/article/immigr…

Congress underfunds tribal colleges by $250 million per year. The outcome is crimped budgets and crumbling buildings in what the U.S. Civil Rights Commission once called the “most poorly funded institutions of higher education in the country": propub.li/3OaEeYU
