There are good people in this country, people who stand up for their neighbors & put their bodies on the line.
Don't forget that. Good people stand against #ICELawlessness. Be inspired by that. As ICE thugs round up, brutalize & torture our fellow Americans, do or say something! Don't be complicit.

Tuesday - ICE agents used pepper spray to push through a crowd that blocked their vehicles as they checked IDs in a Somali neighborhood of Minneapolis.

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.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
