Help us cause some good trouble by doing a virtual Facebook “check-in” at Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport today.
The more people who check in, the harder it is for surveillance tools to track who’s actually there. It’s a simple but powerful way to show up and support from a distance.

Senator Susan Collins defers to MAGA leadership over the needs of the people.
Fight back. Now. As chair of appropriations, she does not have to bring amendments to the floor. She could refuse to vote to advance the bill.
The moment the bill is on the floor. She has lost her leverage.

It's time for veterans to unite and pushback against the attacks on our healthcare, benefits, and community. The Unite for Veterans march in DC on D-Day this year will bring together the full range of the veterans community to demand our rights as veterans of earlier generations did too!

Kidnapping.
Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.
Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.

stop calling things deportation just because they call it deportation.
-You cannot legally deport people without due process.
-You cannot legally deport citizens.
-They are defining down deportation to break the law.
