Ending Medicaid in order to build concentration camps. I feel, as always, there should be some kind of nonstop barrage of ads across America, every Democrat on every platform saying something like β€œRepublicans want to end Medicaid in words to build concentration camps.”

the fact that people were told β€œtoday you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho didn't hold back when expressing his anger and "contempt" after agents with Homeland Security attempted to gain access to two elementary schools earlier this week.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.

Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpasβ€”and the community was not having it.

Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

'They're Not Just Cutting Medicaid': GOP Bill Would Trigger Over $500 Billion in Medicare Cuts | Common Dreams "This is what Republicans doβ€”pay for massive tax breaks for billionaires by going after programs families rely on the most: Medicaid, food assistance, and now Medicare."

Republicans will always despise the poor and believe anyone in need to be a fraud. Reagan's "welfare queen" myth is at the heart of their belief system. It's not heartlessness. It's a vile worldview that kills people because they're simply "unworthy."

β€œThey Actually Had a List”: ICE Arrests Workers Involved in Landmark Labor Rights Case β€œWe are concerned at the appearance of targeting publicly pro-union worker leaders,” said a UFW official about an ICE raid in New York.

On Friday ICE agents stopped a bus in Albion, NY. They had a list of names, and took 14 people into custody

Those workersβ€”and their employerβ€”happened to be involved in one of the most crucial labor struggles in the state in recent memory

When we call for politicians to "do something," this is what we mean. Not speeches or op-eds or campaign rallies, but using every tool available to disrupt the advance of fascism.

You cannot deport a citizen. It’s called a kidnapping.

NEW: A federal judge raised alarm Friday that the Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with "no meaningful process" β€” even as her father was fighting to keep her in the country.
