As Veterans, we know that when it takes a $50,000 bonus to get someone to wear a uniform, the quality of the recruiting pool has drastically reduced and the mission of the force is unpopular.
ICE Agents will only grow worse over time, and they’ll grow more dangerous every day.

Task Force Butler and Veterans Fighting Fascism have free guides that you can use to help stay safe at tomorrow’s No Kings protests.
We focus on documentation of criminality by ICE in the same way that we do for more traditional hate groups.
Justice won’t be immediate, but we will have it.

Nearly one in ten Americans live in Texas—so when Texans fight for democracy, it affects us all.
Glad to see Gina Hinojosa calling out the billionaire class behind Greg Abbott and his cronies.

The National Guard exists to protect us.
The masked secret police known as ICE are their opposite.

The FBI is reducing recruiting and training standards, just like ICE.
That means more unqualified Trump loyalists, and less justice and security for all of us.

John Bolton could have saved himself, and all of us, if he did the right thing in 2019 and 2020.

Coverage dismissing the fact that National Guard are “just patrolling safe tourist areas” is missing the point.
The very nature of a presence patrol — I did hundreds of these in Iraq — is to project strength.
That’s to embolden your allies.
And to threaten your enemies.
