71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

The hearing for this bill is scheduled for September 17, 2025. We can not let this bill be introduced to Congress. We must shut it down or the choice of leaving the United States legally will be swept out from underneath us.

Marco Rubio has introduced a bill that would allow the US government to veto and revoke US passports. So, if you’re BIPOC and they just don’t like you, they can revoke your passport at any time. You won’t even be able to escape from being sent to a random prison camp overseas at that point.

Happy Birthday, Rosalind Franklin. She captured an X-ray diffraction image of DNA and stated that a helical structure was probable. Watson and Crick then created a detailed model based on her results. They initially received credit for the discovery and were awarded the Nobel Prize after her death.🧪
