GOP’s Latest Voter Suppression Target: Overseas Americans Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

Republicans are targeting overseas voters, especially Americans born abroad.

Once bipartisan, overseas voting is now being framed as a threat. This is yet another part of a broader effort to limit who has access to the ballot.

Justice Dept. Asks for 1-Day Sentence for Ex-Officer Convicted in Breonna Taylor Raid

They mean to be as insulting to Black people, as dismissive of our lives, as resistance to our status as full citizens in this country as they can be.

There is no common ground to be had at the expense of our sisters & daughters’ lives and our dignity as a people.

Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

The original reporting was done by Gustavo Arellano, who has been writing about these issues with terrific insight and nuance for a long time.

BREAKING: Judge bars Trump administration from stopping people to arrest them on the basis of race or ethnicity, speaking Spanish, presence at a particular location, or the type of work one does.

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

Health aid is a small piece of America’s foreign aid, which is itself a small piece of the federal budget. In 2023, the US spent less than one percent of the federal budget on lifesaving global health programs: b-gat.es/4l9AyW1

Since 2000, Gavi has helped get vaccines to 1.1 billion children. The U.S. announced that, after this year, it’s pulling out all its money. If that happens, Gavi estimates that 75 million children will miss vaccinations over the next five years—and of those, 1.2 million children will die.​

A study in the Lancet recently looked at the cumulative impact of reductions in American aid. It found that, by 2040, 8 million more children will die before their fifth birthday. b-gat.es/44wCCQO

My father, the son of garment workers, had his first job at the age of 4 and received free tuition at NYC University. He became a microbiologist and worked for business but also helped clean up the Great Lakes. He wanted everyone to have the chance he had. He was a Democrat and would be ashamed .

Donald Trump is attacking me because he is desperate to distract from his war on working people. We must and we will fight back.

In 80 seconds, AOC has completely dismantled the #BigUglyBill.

Dems should turn this into a prime time campaign ad NOW.

“This Bill is a deal with the devil”💥

Laura Loomer‘s tweet: Alligator lives matter. The good news is, alligators are guaranteed at least 65 million meals if we get started now.

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

A coalition of groups, ranging from environmental activists to Native Americans advocating for their ancestral homelands, converged outside an airstrip in the Florida Everglades to protest the imminent construction of an immigrant detention center. cnn.it/40sUjzD

YouTube video by Brad Lander for NYC Brad Lander on Ali Velshi discussing ICE detentions at immigration hearings

Anyone can go to immigration hearings to bear witness, offer support, and stand up for due process and the rule of law.

We must keep showing up for our immigrant neighbors in whatever way we can.

Always a pleasure talking with Ali Velshi!

@RepOgles on X: Zohran "little muhammad" Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York. He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings. Attached is my letter to @AGPamBondi.

This is a shockingly racist call by a House Republican for Zohran Mamdani to be denaturalized and deported. But instead of being viewed as unserious, it's now being promoted and circulated by LibsOfTikTok, Benny Johnson and MAGA regulars.

Democrats need to understand that Republicans are serious.

Wisdom.

At the same time, we know that the shelters we buy are not enough. Our government must act on a massive scale to fix this problem. So alongside our campaign, we’re demanding immediate action. Help us buy bomb shelters and pressure our government: omdi.me/negevshelters (4/4)
