Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Trump regime ICE forces are mutilating unarmed civilians. Regime forces are firing kinetic impact projectiles at close range, causing severe injuries that can result in permanent disability or death. Today, they tore off part of a woman’s hand. #3E #GoodvsEvil

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Crowd is massive, now overflowing Congress Plaza and taking up a block-long stretch of Michigan Avenue.

Reminder: this event was only announced yesterday.

Nurses are pissed.

This is on the front page of the nursing subreddit, along with many discussions about it on several other posts.

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.

1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.

2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.

3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.

4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

Just so we're clear. No money saved. Cost in millions of lives. DOGE not yet behind bars.

DOGE didn't save taxpayers $1 trillion, after all
According to recent reporting, DOGE fell short of its goals to save taxpayers $1 trillion and streamline government processes. So what did we get from the agency?

Today a VA nurse was executed. This all needs to stop.
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

ICE just killed another person in Minneapolis. This is absolutely sickening. Donald Trump needs to get his unqualified, untrained, violent agents the hell out of Minnesota IMMEDIATELY.

Dear ICE,

Thou shalt not wear a mask and abduct 5-year-olds and call yourself a ‘Christian.’

You are the complete opposite of Christ.

Hate,

Analysis by The Marshall Project of ICE data obtained by the Deportation Data Project found that the Trump administration’s revival of family detention has swept thousands of children into ICE custody. At least 3,800 children under 18, including 20 infants, have been booked since Trump took office.
ICE Threw Thousands of Kids in Detention, Many For Longer Than Court-Prescribed Limit
Former immigration staffers argue ICE is choosing to detain families for prolonged periods to speed deportations and compel them to leave.

I’m going to reiterate that RFK Jr. will not stop until he takes away every vaccine recommendation and thereby reduces access to them.

This interview with Kirk Milhoan is one of the most disturbing things I’ve seen in my entire career.

He seems to think that a polio outbreak would be just fine.
Top CDC vaccine adviser questions need for polio shot, other longstanding recommendations
The chair of a federal vaccine advisory panel charted a new course for the committee in a podcast released Thursday, questioning longstanding recommendations.

ICE is detaining a 5 year old boy.

If you get off on this, you’re a monster and don’t you dare pretend to worship God.

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines.

This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

Not the key part of this story, obviously... but they *sold* his phone? WTF?
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.
