ICE targeted an elementary school graduation to target allegedly undocumented parents.
ICE is arresting US citizens & documented immigrants, all without a warrant.
Now as people peacefully organize against ICE fascism, Trump deploys the National Guard against us.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.
