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.

I love that Cory Booker is having a conversation with John McCain related to healthcare. Thank you Cory Booker for your heartfelt and brilliant attempt at preventing the disaster the MAGA cult party is pushing.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

Several conversations today w people in the key executive departments. And while the particulars are hard to pin down my impression is that the Musk take over stuff is considerably worse than is being presented in the press. By this I don’t necessarily things they *done* yet but the level of …

Both parties have wanted to reform immigration- there’s room for improvement.
But, it’s Trump & Rs who have allowed ICE agents to go into schools, hospitals, & churches making ICE Raids even more inhumane.

The inverted flag isn’t disrespect — it’s a distress signal from naval traditions, used to show grave danger to life or property.
With a lawless man set to take power after attempting to overthrow the government, America is in extreme danger.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

Trump will be starting his shock and awe campaign straight out of the gate. #Dictator #totalitarianism #firsttheycamefor
The first time one of these raids devolves into a shootout — and I expect that to happen sooner than later — it’ll make every raid that follows exponentially more likely to devolve into the same.
