Before you start saying we should #deport #immigrants, maybe look inward…
European settlers stole the #UnitedStates through violence and displacement.
The truth: white Americans aren’t native to this soil—they’re European.
The only people with any real claim to being “from here” are Indigenous.

The #UnitedStates depends on immigrants to function.
Any argument against that truth often originates from people with overseas bank accounts, people who would benefit financially if our nation were to fail.
Why don’t more people see this?
Wake up, #America.

In a shocking turn of events, many of the people who said they wanted "free speech" actually just wanted to be the ones in charge of which speech is free.
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Research consistently shows that immigrants, including undocumented individuals, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens.
There is NO EVIDENCE that increasing #deportations leads to a reduction in crime

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.
President Trump’s order freezing trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans sent officials at schools, hospitals, nonprofit organizations and many others into a frantic scramble to understand the extent of the directive. Here's what to know.
Order to pause federal spending creates deep uncertainty for schools, nonprofits and companies.
