Spotify is running ads to help ICE recruit more agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities. We’re calling on users to stop paying for or using the app until Spotify stops streaming fascism: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti...

This is difficult; however, I think it's worth it to strive for this.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water.

These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested.

They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.
Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

President Trump deployed military troops and federal agents to DC and LA to respond to made-up emergencies, and is now threatening to do the same in other cities across the country.

President Trump said the quiet part out loud: He wants lawmakers to redraw maps to help his party win elections, instead of representing our communities.

We're fighting back.
