A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

“Self-deport” is a whitewashed way to describe “fleeing the country under the threat of state violence.” I agree with Maria here — it’s important to call that exactly what it is.
What. No.
Don't use their language, @newyorker.com that is not even a real word. What the hell is wrong with "flee" or like. "Flee this godforsaken country"

If the GOP wants to protect kids, the irreversible mutilation happening to kids is from the bullets shot into their bodies while they’re at school. Ending the gun violence epidemic will save lives. Using the government to bully trans kids does nothing but hurt more people.

Instead of protecting healthcare premiums from doubling for 22M Americans, the US House passed an extreme anti-trans bill that threatens 10 years of prison on parents and doctors for providing lifesaving, best practice care for .002% of all children in the US. The fight against cruelty isn’t over.
@mcbride.house.gov is right. It’s hard enough being a kid — and politicians don’t need to make it harder.
Thank you, Congresswoman, for speaking out against the cruel Republican attacks on health care for trans youth.

Georgia Republicans are using their last moments of power in the Public Service Commission to give massive clearance for data centers and higher energy bills. Guess whose dad wants to build 11 MILLION square feet of data centers in Middle Georgia? Burt Jones, who wants to be our Governor.

In his first term, Senator Jon Ossoff fought for all Georgians by voting for the Respect for Marriage Act & cosponsoring the Equality Act.

Republicans have shut down the federal government for nearly a month, decimated public health funding, suing to permanently undo the Voting Rights Act, advocating to bring back conversation therapy and are still using ICE as a paramilitary to snatch people from their homes and off the the sidewalks.

Speaker Johnson is refusing to call Congress back into session because there is enough votes to force the release of the Epstein files. After all the screaming about “protecting women” from transgender people, the GOP has shut down the entire government to protect actual pedophiles.
