People like Mahmoud Khalil and Leqaa Kordia continue to be persecuted for speaking out against the genocide.
I was glad to meet with Mahmoud to hear updates on his and Leqaa's cases and see pictures of his newborn, Deen.

Parents' rights doesn't mean you get to raise everyone else's kids, too.
Kids deserve a real education, not censorship, bigotry, and xenophobia disguised as religious freedom.

You can’t reform oppression or hatred—you have to abolish it.
ICE doesn’t belong in Pittsburgh or anywhere in our country. It’s time for this agency to go and for its lawless agents to be prosecuted.
I was proud to stand with hundreds of neighbors to say: "ICE out!" triblive.com/local/summer...

Corporations are using AI to bust unions and hurt workers.
Republicans can't talk about corporations using AI responsibly in the workplace when they don't even hold them accountable for violating basic worker protections laws.

Mr. Rascon's and his family's experience with ICE is heartbreaking.
This is exactly why we have to abolish the agency, prosecute lawless agents, impeach Kristi Noem, and build a system that strengthens our communities instead of tearing them apart.

ICE isn't the gestapo––it's deeply American. Recognizing our country's flaws and how history has brought us here will help us move forward.
Once we do that, we need to bring that same energy to build what we know can be a better world that reflects our values.

We showed up to ICE to remind our colleagues and the public that we must abolish ICE.
For Keith Porter. Silverio Villegas Gonzalez. For Alex Pretti & Renee Good.
For every community terrorized by this lawless agency. We must move towards accountability: impeach Noem. Abolish ICE. Prosecute agents.

Solidarity with the victims of ICE and the victims of oppressive law enforcement agencies throughout our history.
We know our liberation is tied. So today we're saying abolish ICE, and demanding that no more of our taxpayer dollars go to state-sponsored violence.

Today the House will vote on additional funding for ICE. That's on top of the billions it recieved from the so-called Big Beautiful Bill.
ICE is killing people.
They don't need more money, better training, or body cameras to record their abuse. They need to be abolished.

But when Donald Trump or Elon Musk show up in the files, Republicans are deafeningly silent.

Trump boasts that inflation and prices have gone down, but the numbers don't lie.
In his first year alone, PA families spent over $1,700 more as the cost of groceries, housing, healthcare, and basic necessities went up. Working families deserve better.
