Bring Liam home!

5-year-old Liam Ramos was detained while he returned home from pre-school with his father. Now, Liam is separated from his family, his classmates, and his home.

No child should experience the fear and cruelty of family separation. #FamiliesBelongTogether

Horrifying.

Antisemitic terror targeting families gathering on a beach for a joyous celebration of Hanukkah.

May their memory be a blessing.
At least 11 people were killed on Sunday and more were injured after two gunmen opened fire at a crowd celebrating the first day of the Hanukkah holiday on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. One of the shooters was also killed, the police said. Here is what we know about the attack.

She packed for Thanksgiving. She ended up deported. No person should be in fear while traveling this holiday season. 💔

Wow. Stephen Miller and the White House political operation are now openly, explicitly celebrating the fact that *legally* present immigrants have lost their jobs:

Americans are soundly rejecting Trump’s out-of-control deportation agenda.

Huge opening here for @democrats.org to go on offense with an affirmative case for immigration.
Q: We're seeing something unprecedented in the US with these mass deportations. Is that a factor at all in your vote for Mikie Sherrill?

Voter: Of course, it's a big factor. We're people. My mom was an immigrant, my grandparents are immigrants. It's just not right.

Exit polls are inexact. But they’re an OK approximation of how different demographic groups voted

In 2024 New Jersey exit polls had Harris winning Hispanics by 13 points

Tonight the exit polls have Mikie Sherrill winning Hispanics by 32 points

Steven Miller may have turned Texas & Florida blue

Kristin Noem's DHS is running propaganda at airports in violation of the Hatch Act.

Is your airport on the 'no' list? If not, call your airport & your city's aviation commissioners to demand they stop breaking the law by playing Kristin Noem's propaganda.

Great to see a grand jury - a group of everyday citizens - stand up against a would-be-dictator and reject a ridiculous felony indictment over a sandwich.

In America we the people have the power.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia—a father, husband, union member, and day laborer—has been forced through half a year of unimaginable government abuse: disappeared to a foreign torture prison, lied about, and under imminent threat of deportation to Uganda and separation from his family.
