Why can't this food be sent to Gaza? Or Yemen? South Sudan? Ukraine? What a waste. This regime is incompetent and cruel.

I’ve been holding shadow hearings on Trump’s illegal immigration actions — first on third country removals, and then on arrests at immigration courthouses.

Because if Republicans won’t conduct an ounce of oversight on this authoritarian administration, we will.

Donald Trump gives people permission to be their worst selves. His politics are not just representative, they are generative. His words seep into people’s souls and slowly corrode whatever potential for human decency ever resided there.
Floridians are taking pictures of themselves next to the sign for their new death camp

As I've said before, giving this concentration camp a cutesy name is reprehensible

In May, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that Florida welcomed 41.2 million visitors in the first quarter of 2025. Press release:

“Florida is positioned for even greater success as the most visited destination in the United States.”

Bye, Florida.

Alligator Alcatraz is a Concentration Camp.
Opinion | Don’t call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ Call it a concentration camp.
This facility’s purpose fits the classic model, and its existence points to serious dangers ahead for the country.

Donald Trump just signed a bill into law that'll kick 17 million people off their health care and make it harder for families to put food on the table.

Republicans sold you out so billionaires can get even richer.

We won't let them forget.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This 👇 is going to fundamentally change America. An internal security force with ever expanding powers impacting citizens and non-citizens.

With a mission that already expands far beyond what Americans voted for in November 2024.
big beautiful bill passing would make the budget for ice larger than most of the world’s militaries

This - if you're one of those people that are demanding change and are furious by the recent votes in Congress over the budget bill, sign up and take the Zoom call.
Furious? Consider a run for local office. Cities, counties, and states are the only places we’ll be able to make meaningful progress and stop serious harm over the next year+. We’ll help you get started. runforwhat.net

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.

The ICE budget jumping from $3B to $45B should be the loudest alarm from this bill. The silence from electeds on the mass criminalization of immigrants is LOUD. Medicaid cuts are devastating, yes, but don’t ignore the cruelty being supercharged at our borders and on our streets!!!
