The United States is torturing immigrants. Do you care?
Because if you're American, this is being done in your name.
I'm a daughter, granddaughter, great-granddaughter of immigrants. What if they did this to my family? What if they did it to yours?

“We’re being chased by guys with guns… They acted like vigilantes.”
That’s what humanitarian aid workers screamed to Border Patrol in Sasabe, AZ—while plainclothes Homeland Security agents pointed rifles at them.
And what did Border Patrol do?
They helped detain them at gunpoint.

If they are proud enough to commit these actions, they should be proud enough to do it without a mask. This is not okay.

I’m not a strategist, but I have been involved in GOP-dominated state politics for about a decade now.
We can’t squeeze another blue vote out of Kansas City or St. Louis or Springfield. Democrats need to go into rural spaces and start organizing Democrats in those spaces.
