Let's talk about the midterms.
ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started.
Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!

Politicians & some media outlets have latched onto a narrative that recent immigrants, especially undocumented, are causing spikes in crime.
Research does not support the view. In fact, immigrants might have less law enforcement contact compared to native-born Americans.

What about a day trip to one of Washington’s iconic mountains? We’ll hike up, catch the view, and take in all the wild beauty around us.

This — THIS — is the tweet on X that brought two Secret Service agents to the woman’s home to interrogate her about her political leanings and activities. Outrageous.

Three years ago, I was sworn in to be your governor using my grandfather’s bible and the bible of Fredrick Douglass.
Since then, we have moved Maryland forward by creating safer communities, protecting our neighbors and their rights, lowering costs, and much more.
We are leaving no one behind.

MAGA: “Just comply and you won’t get hurt!”

You can’t comply. They give conflicting orders on purpose.
They did the same thing to Renee Good.
No amount of compliance will stop fascists.

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model.
ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

Reporter: Francisco Longoria was stopped in his car with his son in the passenger seat. One of the Border Patrol agents smashes the glass, and then Longoria drives away. It's very clear that there were no federal agents in front of Longoria's vehicle, yet the agent discharged his firearm at him

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.
