ICE dragged a mother from her home in Massachusetts—clinging to her baby—without showing a warrant or ID.
When neighbors demanded proof, ICE sneered, “We don’t have to show you anything.”
That’s not law enforcement. That’s state-sponsored kidnapping.
This is fascism & it’s terrifying.

Let’s be honest: the policies they’re pushing? LITERALLY straight out of Project 2025. The same plan they claimed they had nothing to do with.
Now they’re writing them into law—gutting public lands, rejecting science, and handing out kickbacks to their corporate buddies.
We’re fighting back!

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people.
Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

Curious why the west Texas measles outbreak only spread to a few of New Mexico’s border counties instead of running riot like it is doing in other states?
