When will people understand that standing up to this Administration is a winning message? Corporations and individuals grow - both their businesses and support - when they show courage.
Do these people understand the meanings of ANY of the words they use?
Abolish ICE and start over. They are polluted culture of lies, violence and impunity. Rotten to the very core and HUGE WASTE OF MONEY. Tear it down and start again.

It looks like a butterfly wing.
Have y'all seen this? The "Singing Resistance" toolkit. Practical guidance on how to use this tactic to build community and grow the movement against fascism. Might be useful for your Indivisible group or other local organizing hub. Check it out: docs.proton.me/doc?mode=ope...
ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings.

This can’t be shared too much. Trump & his FCC crony are censoring who talk show hosts can invite as their guests-James Talarico on Colbert. Corp media—is selling out our 1A rights to curry favor w/a corrupt regime. This is dangerous when censoring comes from the top! We must stand against this!
Democrats aren’t asking for anything unreasonable on ICE reforms.
We’re just asking that they be held to the same standards as local law enforcement.
Donald Trump and Kristi Noem shouldn’t be able to command a secret, masked police force.
IT'S COMING ...
FASCISM IS IN CONTROL ...
JUST LIKE PUTIN ...
tRUMPSTEIN WILL GIVE HIMSELF 95% OF OUR VOTES ... 🤬🤬🤬
SO WHAT'S THE PLAN???
Keep up the pressure. Or else they will cave.
What if each of us who want to show our neighbors and friends that we intend to be a Light, to bring attention to injustice, place a candle in our window every night. May this gesture grow and expand beyond just my home. Please pass this on if you feel moved to do so.
34,000 signing up for this work AFTER seeing their fellow citizens gunned down by federal thugs in cold blood? I'm chugging whatever the opposite of doomerism is
I hope you will accept no less than removing all funding for Homeland Security. It is a department that needs closing, not reform.
One human rights observer in Maine said agents followed her home, blocked off her street, and came to her door to say they know where she lives. Her children are now staying elsewhere, to keep them safe.
This speaks directly to this moment from a deeply spiritual point of view.
How many ICE/CBP agents would be willing to do this job if they were unmasked and wore a badge with their name?
If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it?

Classic abuser language
“Because you displeased me, I have to hit you. It’s your fault.”
We need a restraining order against our own so-called “president”.
Episcopalians going *hard*
It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

Heavy rains have deepened Gaza's misery, flooding tents in which many thousands of people are huddled, exposed to winter. A baby recently died of hypothermia.
Israel continues to restrict humanitarian aid, including tents. Nothing but silence from Trump. We must not forget Gaza.
Important post: my colleague documents an “official, nationwide policy of intimidating and threatening people who attempt to observe and record DHS operations,” or who peacefully and without interference follow and protest them, even though the First Amendment broadly protects doing those things. /1
I keep up with the news as best I can, but this stunned me. BTW, how does a 3 yo become an "unaccompanied minor?" It's all too horrific.
There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.
Your letters are the first thing I read each morning, HCR. Thank you, as always, for connecting the past and the present in such a calm and thoughtful way.
Let's get with the program folks.
