Old, White, cisgender straight guy who believes that all people of all ages, ethnicities, genders and sexual orientations have inherent value and are worthy of respect.

History Lesson: The ones putting people in camps are *ALWAYS* the bad guys.

11-year-old girl dies by suicide—after bullies threaten to "Call ICE" and have family deported.

A year ago this week—shortly after Trump was sworn in—she was hospitalized in a coma.

"Bullies told her she was going to get deported, ICE was coming for them... she was terrified," said mother.

I 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.

Quick reminder everything they say is a fucking lie.

We are facing a major healthcare crisis due to the occupation.

Pregnant people are regularly missing care & do face an impossible choices.

Occupying agents ABSOLUTELY enter hospitals for enforcement purposes and have since they arrived.

In NE Minneapolis and Columbia Heights today, Weds. 2/5/26, ICE has been focusing on schools and schoolbus stops. SCHOOLS AND SCHOOLBUS STOPS. This is their “softer touch”
Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began.

Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

In brief, this maneuver:
- effectively converts employee status to "at-will" (meaning they can be fired for any--or no--reason),
- redirects whistleblower complaints to internal agency counsel,
& takes away these civil servants' rights to appeal adverse personnel actions.
Bad news today.
The administration finalized a plan to remove civil service protections from about 50,000 federal workers, with no exemption for statistical or scientific agency personnel. This erodes protection of those agencies from political influence.

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

I used to always say misogyny, etc, didn't affect me over the course of my life much but we just get so USED to it.

The truth is, I've been sexually assaulted in "low stakes" ways at least a dozen times in my life, including a masseuse, a guy in a park behind my house, a relative, and a boss.
the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

The disposability of girls and young women is so built in that there isn’t really any discussion around lost futures or potential because any woman who could offer something important must be remarkable and rare. In short, the expectations of them are low, and nothing much of value is lost.

Can now confirm that the warehouse in Social Circle, GA is in escrow and nearing final sale. The transaction will remove an estimated $30K from the Georgia and Walton County tax stream. The sale also gives ICE another 8,500 beds. The selling owner is the PNK S1, LLC of Atlanta, GA.

There are major federal tasks forces operating still in Memphis, New Orleans, Miami-Dade, Phoenix, South Texas, still raiding homes, kidnapping people, black-bagging people from courthouses.

It appears that if Democrats don't provide the votes to pass the DHS funding bill, then DHS will shut down?

If that is the case, I beg you to NEVER vote for the DHS bill under any circumstances.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Thursday that demands made by Democrats for new restrictions on federal immigration officers are “unrealistic” and warned that the Department of Homeland Security will shut down next week if they do not work with Republicans and the White House.
