If I were the mayor or governor, I would simply not allow masked, armed men to kidnap preschool teachers in front of their children. If this isn’t a red line for you as a leader, then I don't know what you think your job is.

Arrest them. Cut power to their facilities. Send out protection patrols.
ICE isn’t going after the worst of the worst. This morning, they took a preschool teacher without a warrant IN FRONT OF CHILDREN in my district.

Commentary: As Americans, the desire to help our community has repeatedly led us into the same trap — beguiled into believing effort and good intentions are substitutes for government action on the most urgent of crises.
Rachel Jacoby: I help run a food pantry. We can’t do the government’s job.
I worry that our community donations may not meet the increased need we will see as a result of SNAP’s suspension.

Brave, courageous, powerful statement from Abrego Garcia's wife, Jennifer. Watch, cry a little, share and let's keep fighting everyone.
Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Pretty distressed at how Dems are responding to this bill to let Trump get another term. It’s an attack on democracy—not a meme generator related to a third Obama term (the bill precludes that anyway, and Obama doesn’t want one) or a chance to joke about Trump aging.

It is. An attack. On democracy.
