A Muncie resident was handed to ICE before his hearing. Now held without known location. This is lawless and cruel. Join us in protest.

NEW: Data shows that as of June 15, fully 30% of all people arrested by ICE and sent to detention had NO CRIMINAL RECORD.

11,763 people in detention as of last Sunday had no criminal record and were arrested inside the country by ICE -- an increase of 4,000 people in two weeks!
Chart showing "Percent of People In ICE Detention With No Criminal Record, among those arrested by ICE inside the country and sent to detention" The chart goes back to May 2019. From May 2019 through spring 2020, when COVID hits, the percentage hovers between 9% and 11%. It then drops to around 5% during COVID, which continues to be the broad baseline throughout most of Biden's term, occasionally jumping higher for a few weeks/months, but often returning to the 5-6% baseline. Then after Trump is elected, it jumps straight to 18% for a month, and rises to 23% as of June 1, then to 30% as of June 15.

Republicans are not only stealing our Medicaid to fund the rich, but now want to steal out public lands.

Trump’s latest batch of pardons includes:

✅ A sheriff who took $70,000 in bribes to appoint donors as deputies
✅ Reality TV stars convicted of serious financial fraud
✅ A millionaire who stole from nursing home staff whose mom is a major Trump donor

"Stolen term" will be the asterisk beside both of Donald John Trump's times in the Office of The President Of The United States Of America. *

The convicted convict, adjudicated rapist made a very big promise: he'd end the Ukraine/Russia war in "ONE PHONE CALL ON DAY 1. WAR WILL BE OVER IN 24 HOURS."

106 days into his stolen term and he's only made it worse.

But hey -- he's outlawed paper straws and renamed oceans, so we're all good!

Trump, asked if he has to 'uphold the Constitution,' says, 'I don't know'
Trump said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that he’s following lawyers’ advice as he tries to execute rapid deportations, arguing that giving immigrants due process is time-consuming.

Are you in? Just 3.5% of us standing together can spark real change. Harvard prof Erica Chenoweth found that nonviolent protests with 3.5% participation never fail. Watch her TED Talk—then join us.

I don’t fly a flag for show. But on May 1st, mine flips upside-down — because the danger feels real. This isn’t left vs. right. It’s survival.

Mayday-Mayday-Mayday! The Tyrant & His Oligarchs Are Dismantling Democracy!”

BRIEF HISTORY:
The Mayday distress call replaced S-O-S in the 1920s to electronically signal emergencies. It comes from the French phrase m'aider (“help me”) and became the official international distress signal in 1927.
