On May Day—the day we honor workers—Republicans want you to know who really matters to them: ICE agents.

The average American worker gets a $2,500 bonus. ICE employees? Try $42,500.

Jaime Raskin has questions. Jared Moskowitz has the receipts.

"In the case of the other family, a U.S. citizen child suffering from a rare form of metastatic cancer was deported without medication or the ability to consult with their treating physicians–despite ICE being notified in advance of the child’s urgent medical needs. "

Absolutely disgusted.
As one plane carries the U.S. president to the funeral of a man who fiercely championed immigrants, another plane disappears mothers and U.S. citizen kids out of the country. Think about that when you watch the Pope’s funeral tomorrow. I know I will. #AtWhatCost

Hmm...interesting.

Attacking trans kids won't make groceries cheaper.

Gutting funding for schools, libraries, and museums doesn't bring down utility bills.

Defunding cancer research doesn't solve the housing crisis.

Trump and Musk have no interest in doing anything that actually helps people who works for a living.

STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

BRING HIM HOME!

Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family — before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador.

SMART General President…

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Notice who this targets. Women, People of Color, Transgender, adoptees,

ALERT: The so-called "SAVE Act" is a POWER GRAB BY REPUBLICANS who want to control our elections and limit our right to vote.

The GOP BLOCKED an Amendment to ensure that women will be able to vote!

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

“Our 3 students who were taken by ICE were… following the legal process…

The fact that our students were handcuffed and put into the same van as the alleged criminal from down the street is unconscionable.

When I think of my third grader's experience, my stomach twists and it is hard to breathe.”

LISTEN to Barack Obama: The most important office in this democracy is the citizen.

Freedom tomorrow is not a given—it has to be fought for.

North Carolina 🚨Don’t let this corrupt court take away your vote. Cure your ballot if needed, and check the list for family, friends and neighbors too.
Via @abreezeclayton.bsky.social, here's a tool to find out if your vote is on the list of those being challenged in North Carolina, along with instructions on what you can do next/who to contact re: ballot curing.

Please share widely, especially if you're in North Carolina

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!

This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.

It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.
