Help America. Some of you know a Navajo man was taken last week by ICE in AZ. We can’t accept this & need to fight back by electing more Native Americans to office. Please donate to @formerpreznez.bsky.social for Congress in #AZ02 He would be the first tribal leader elected to Congress. ✊🏽

Getting ICE out of Minneapolis isn’t enough, says U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar:
“We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.”
