ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.
Want to know why?
Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.
Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

We will use their horrific agenda to turn voters against them by the millions in the midterms. And yes, there will be midterms. Don’t even think about voicing defeatism and doing their work for them.

The House is voting on whether to pass the BBB right now.
Adding an estimated $4 trillion to the budget deficit and stripping millions of Americans of Medicaid and SNAP benefits, this bill is cruel beyond measure. All so the wealthiest can get even more tax cuts.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

BREAKING: Congress has passed Donald Trump’s deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance — programs that LGBTQ+ Americans disproportionately rely on — all to give tax breaks to the wealthy.
The bill also “defunds” Planned Parenthood which could force hundreds of health centers to close.

Trump calls it a “GIANT WIN” for ending birthright citizenship. Meanwhile, the internet is quick to remind him: Barron was born before Melania was a citizen, and Ivanka, Don Jr., and Eric before Ivana naturalized. Hypocrisy writes itself.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa.
It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;)

DISASTROUS. This means they will send people to horrific situations with no due process — in direct violation of promises the Solicitor General made to the Court in previous cases.
This greenlights sending people to be enslaved in Libya or tortured in any random foreign country.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.
He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.
He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.
This is political intimidation.

Whoa! NYC mayoral candidate and current city Comptroller Brad Lander seemingly arrested at the NYC immigration court while attending to escort someone attending their hearing.
Lander just got detained by federal agents as he tried to escort a man out of the courtroom. Lander was taken in an elevator with masked agents, along with one member of his NYPD security detail.
