Trump's escalation in Latin America will likely serve as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home.
We must resist his efforts to launch more international wars and stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.

I’ve been notified of two more deaths in ICE custody in the last 24 hours — meaning that 25 people have now died in detention since Trump returned to office.
That’s the most in more than two decades. The cruelty and inhumanity of this administration must end.

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.
