There is no way Senate Dems should vote for DHS funding while Republicans are threatening to nationalize elections and Trump is threatening to do it by executive order. ICE reforms are no longer enough. Their authoritarianism must be fought with every legislative lever available.

Trump: "I'm letting everybody that builds a plant build their own electric plant. So they're building a massive plant that's 4 miles long by 4 miles wide, and I'm letting them build electric plants. Some are nuclear, some are oil and gas, some are coal as a backup just in case."

Begging folks to realize that ICE enforcement is a mass disabling event.

People are being shot. They’ve been blinded. They’ve been traumatized.

The camps are full of disease.

TB, Covid and measles can all kill but they also disable.

It’s eugenics.

Call your representatives !
The SAVE Act sounds harmless, but it lets politicians kick eligible Americans off the rolls if they can’t dig up passports or birth certificates. Millions of citizens, especially young people and voters of color, could be denied a ballot over paperwork. #sheshed

This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.
On this day in 1948, an all-white jury sentenced a Black woman and two of her teenage sons to death for killing an armed white man in self-defense.

Here's a thread about #ICELawlessness that I hope you'll consider amplifying.

When people see what's happening, it does make a difference!

For example, Liam Ramos(the 5 year old with the bunny hat) & his father have been released.

It includes ways for you to help.

It would take “purged”
voters months to get these “proof of citizenship” documents so that they can vote - even without the extra hurdle for women who changed their last names. The SAVE Act — when coupled with GOP-led purges—would easily allow Rs to steal midterm elections. ⬇️ x.com/jennycohn1/s...

Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility.

He was the primary caretaker of his son, who died last week.

The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral.

ICE reportedly denied the request.

Unimaginable cruelty.
