ICE is basically going after people based on their skin color, race, or ethnicity. They’re detaining U.S. citizens and people who have a right to be here.
It’s mass racial profiling.

Spread this. LAPD must be held accountable for assaulting people in the streets for no justifiable reason besides for cruelty.
Sent to me from a source who took this video yesterday who says LAPD pushed an unhoused person walking in the crosswalk. The fall caused the woman’s head to crack open. LAPD dragged and left her bleeding on the sidewalk, providing no medical care. The person a group of onlookers took her to the ER.

If passed, the SAVE Act would limit access to our democracy for millions of eligible voters.
The House has already passed it, but the Senate can still stop it in its tracks.
Tell your Senator to REJECT this bill in defense of our voting rights.

The SAVE Act would keep millions of people from being able to vote – and would shut countless eligible voters out of our democracy. Urge Congress to reject this bill now.

We're normalizing January 6th now? That time when an insurrection happened in our Capitol and people lost their lives? This is absolutely disgusting. And also extremely out of touch with reality. Bend the knee a bit more @washingtonpost.com
Planes roared over D.C. on Saturday, tanks rolled along the National Mall, brass bands resounded and thousands of soldiers marched past cheering crowds, as the Army put on the largest show of military might in the capital in more than three decades. wapo.st/4dYFOck

I’ve recently learned that several federal law enforcement agencies are soliciting for volunteers from inside to be cross-trained in riot control and to also serve as protective officers for federal facilities.
This isn’t new, per se. The federal government has done this before…

What happened to @padilla.senate.gov at Secretary Noem’s press conference yesterday is beyond reprehensible.
Throwing down and handcuffing a sitting U.S. Senator for standing up for his constituents is unlawful overreach and the Administration’s attempt to suppress all opposing speech.
