Alma Bowman. Learn & say her name.
She was detained by ICE for 30 months. When released she worked with law enforcement as a whistleblower trying to raise awareness of forced sterilization and mistreatment of women in ICE custody.
Where is she now? Back in ICE custody.
The cruelty never ends.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk.
Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️

At the risk of screaming into the void, I refuse to accept that we can do nothing about the crimes committed against all Americans by Musk’s Minions this weekend. The Orange Musketeer has abdicated and authorized grossly unconstitutional theft and destruction. ACT NOW.

Had a convo recently where the other person--an educated liberal!--was shocked to learn <2% of Americans are trans, puberty blockers are temporary & reversible, and virtually no minors get gender-affirming surgeries. The right is so, so good at inflating things into boogeymen.
One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%.
The actual number is less than 1%.
Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

When Congressman John Lewis was a child, he tried to get a library card. He was turned away & told “The Library is not for coloureds” 💔
He’s a civil rights icon, lover of books, recipient of the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
