ICE targeted immigrant workers this week in the Harrisburg area (below at a gas station in New Cumberland).
You can see these men are in work clothes and boots.

Republicans are putting cruelty ahead of our communities.

There are 81+ events today in Pennsylvania to protest Trump’s terror and the GOP’s agenda in DC.
It is one of the biggest statewide activations ever.
It is bigger than any Tea Party single day of action by far.
The opposition to right-wing rule in DC is big, beautiful and diverse.

One month after an extremist firebombed Gov. Shapiro’s residence and tried to murder him and his family, Republican PA State Senator Dawn Keefer posted a video of her taking a flamethrower to Gov. Shapiro’s budget.
These people are insane — and utterly tasteless.

Trump has wiped out a year of gains on the markets that drove higher retirement savings and investment
Dow alone is down ~7000 points 📉
That’s on top of 🇺🇸 consumers and businesses being gouged by his tariffs.
Republicans said prices would plummet and the market would surge under Trump.
