We just wanted to say thank you to everyone! ICE agents keep lying under oath, and you’re the reason the truth is coming out.
Your videos and documentation have been crucial in revealing the truth behind those claims.

America’s still terrified of powerful women in politics.
It’s pure misogyny baked into the system. Add race to the mix and it’s on a whole different level of hate that most won’t even admit. Time to get over that shit!
Let’s take a step forward on Tuesday.

WAKE UP, AMERICA!!! Fight back!!!
I get it: it’s terrifying to admit what’s happening right now.
No one wants to believe their nation is falling into authoritarianism, that the norms they relied on in the past are no longer givens, that the can’t-happen-heres are actually happening here.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

Despite protests already being managed by the Los Angeles Police Department, President Trump is escalating the situation by threatening to deploy roughly 500 active-duty Marines to the streets of Los Angeles.
Los Angeles: Remain peaceful. Don’t fall into the trap that extremists are hoping for.

The reviews are in! Trump has the “lowest 100-day approval rating in 80 years,” according to ABC News. “Most Americans see Trump as a ‘dangerous dictator,’” per Axios. And “more give Trump an ‘F’ than any other grade,” says a NPR/PBS News/Marist poll. All well deserved.
