73% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

A federal agent shot a woman in Chicago this morning, claiming she’d “boxed in” authorities. But in a city where force becomes the first option, whose rights are we really protecting?
This is exactly what Trump wanted: chaos.

Omg, you did it! ABC just announced that “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will return on Tuesday after the late-night host’s suspension became a flashpoint for free speech. We estimate that around 250,000 of our supporters canceled their Disney+ and Hulu accounts in protest. The pressure worked, money talks!

The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios.
At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024.
Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570.
That’s a ratio of 632 to 1.
How can anyone defend this?

ICE is the performing the role of the KKK.
Its a national agency with instructions to institute terror in non-White communities.
This is the same as the KKK did after the civil war.

🧵CDC friends, many of us are experiencing insomnia, nightmares, nausea, trouble concentrating, memory loss and more. These can all be caused by trauma. Now is not a time to “be strong”. It's a time to get help. If you are worried about getting help through CDC, see below for outside resources 👇

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
